Sioux Falls School District - Educate and prepare each student to succeed in a changing world

Thank you, School Bus Drivers! February 22nd is National School Bus Driver Appreciation Day! Our School Bus drivers have been through a lot this past year. From picking up extra routes due to driver shortages to having to pivot on a dime almost daily. We cannot emphasize their importance enough. Please help us say thank you to our bus drivers not just today, but every day!

https://youtu.be/9XWl9BYUw2o You likely already knew her name. What you might not know is that she's currently taking 4 Advanced Placement classes, she has a perfect 4.0 GPA, she serves on Student Council, is a part of Black Student Union, helps with LINK crew, and volunteers her time to teach elementary students about leadership and character. She's been recruited by colleges since the 8th grade, but she still trains every day like her spot depends on it. Our loss after graduation is a gain for the Longhorns, but she leaves an incredibly legacy behind.

The Sioux Falls School District benefits from hundreds of partnerships. These partnerships range from internship opportunities, job shadows, field trips to local businesses, mentorships, and so much more. All of which results in life-changing work that impacts the trajectory of our students' lives. We recently invited our local business and community leaders to a partnership breakfast at our CTE Academy as a way to say thank you for everything they do for students and staff throughout each school year. We are fortunate to have such a supportive and close-knit community that supports our public schools in such a unique way. https://youtu.be/71hHSTJo2as

Huge shoutout to our partners at HyVee for helping us “Wipe Out” germs in our classrooms with a donation of cleaning wipes. HyVee is supportive of their community and we are grateful recipients of their goodwill!
