📌 Reminder! There will be NO school tomorrow (September 2nd) and Monday, September 5th, 2022. Have a safe and happy Labor Day!


School drop-offs and pick-ups can be messy! Take your time, stay alert, and obey the rules of the road. A safe and orderly process makes the day start and end on a positive note for both students and parents!


We would like to extend a big THANK YOU to the local home decor, Sullivans. They recently donated school supplies for our students in need including backpacks, notebooks, folders, art supplies, and more! They said their company recognizes the importance of education and are grateful for the opportunity to give back to the students of Sioux Falls.
We are thankful for Sullivans and all of our other incredible community partners who have donated their time, money, and resources to helping our Sioux Falls School District students! We are #PublicSchoolProud!
