We will be hosting our Welcome Back Open House at Hayward Elementary on
Tuesday, August 23rd from 10:00am to 6:00pm.
Come and meet your teacher and get familiar with the building layout.
We can't wait to see you all!
A new app for parents of bus-eligible students is coming soon! The FREE Stopfinder app allows parents/guardians/daycare providers to see pick-up and drop-off times, the location of the bus, and other features in a secure app. More information will be coming soon, including an invitation to set up your child's account in Stopfinder. If you are the primary household of a bus-eligible student, please check your email for more information.
What better way to start August than some "inspired" learning? SFSD staff members are sharpening their skills to help your student(s) achieve!
Keep your students fueled to learn! SFSD is no longer able to offer free meals to all students. Now is a great time to add money to their My School Bucks account. Or, for families with qualifying income, it is important to fill out the Free/Reduced Meal application!
Log on to the Parent Portal in Infinite Campus to apply! If you have questions or need help filling out the application please call 605-367-6180. We are happy to help!
Please note: if your student does not have a free/reduced lunch application on file, you will be charged full price for breakfast and lunch starting the first day of school. Thank you!

This past year we were blessed with an intern for our Dual Immersion program.
Laura de la Calva is a primary education & kindergarten teacher who came to us from Palencia, Spain.
Hayward was one of four schools in the district to host an intern from Spanish speaking countries. These interns gave students and staff the opportunity to learn about the different cultures, teaching styles, traditions, and dialects of the different Hispanic countries.
We want to thank Laura for being such a great intern this year!

Parent/guardian feedback is important to SFSD! We just launched a 7-question survey - which takes 5 minutes or less - to help guide the next steps toward becoming the BEST school district in the nation!
Check your email or paste this URL in your browser: https://survey.k12insight.com/r/QDVv1e
The survey is open until the end of the school year. Take the survey once for each child enrolled. If you prefer to only take it on, please reference the oldest child in your household. Thanks for your participation!
