Look at this 2nd graders celebrating second day in second grade!
The Two Way Immersion team is also proud of being part of the Sioux Falls Public Schools!
Our first day of school was a success! Teachers, student teachers, interns, clericals, administrators, nurse and all other staff members gave all our kids the best! It was amazing to see all the smiles! #wildcats #gameon #rosaparks #publicschoolproud
Good afternoon all! We wanted to let you know we will not be handing out the bus cards to students until Monday at school. They will start using them on Tuesday morning. We had so many students arrive at school today with parents (which was amazing!) so we are unsure of who will ride the bus in the mornings. By having the extra days, we can make sure we have all cards ready to go. Thank you for your patience as we work through this new process.
Wildcat family, tomorrow is the first day of school and we can't wait to see you all back! Remember this year the school times are 7:45am to 2:30pm.
Are you ready? GAME ON!
Check out the first "What's the Scoop" newsletter for the 2022-23 school year! This month's newsletter from our Child Nutrition department includes important reminders and everything you need to know as we kick off this new school year! ---> https://www.smore.com/a35r9
The countdown is ON! We are so excited to welcome students back for another great school year! Staff have been busily preparing their classrooms, brushing up on instructional skills, and revisiting the always-important-topic of customer service! See you soon!
Reminder of 1st through 5th Grade Open House tonight at Rosa Parks! It goes from 4-6pm! We hope you can come meet your new teacher and see old friends!

We are looking forward to seeing all our new kindergarteners tomorrow (Tuesday August 16th!). This is their open house. They will meet their teacher, take school pictures and snack on pizza provided by our PTO! We cannot wait to get to know the graduating class of 2036!
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!

There will be a slight adjustment to the school start and end times at Rosa Parks Elementary this fall. Please plan accordingly!
Wildcat Families…we need your help! Your child does not need to be in the Dual Immersion program to host an intern! You don’t even need to know Spanish😊. Please consider this opportunity below. I know we have the most amazing families at Rosa Parks!
Thanks-

We are looking for one more Rosa Parks family to host an intern this year. The intern we are looking to place is a female intern from El Salvador. Her personality lights up a room. She is upbeat, easy to talk with, sweet and accommodating. She loves to ride bike, play baseball/softball, enjoys jogging, family time, listening to music and watching movies in her free time. Does this sound like your family? Please reach out to Kelly and Cheran, the intern coordinators, with questions. If this is something you are considering at all, please reach out to us by Wednesday, June 29th. Thank you.

“Hosting an intern was such an enriching experience. We are still in communication with our intern since she went back home. She became another member of our family and jumped in on our crazy." -Kelly
