Ben Reifel Orchestra students will be performing at the All District Orchestra Festival. It will take place on Tuesday, November 8th at the Sioux Falls Arena, beginning at 7pm.

And with a blink of an eye, we are already a quarter way through the 2022-2023 school year! The second quarter is here, and it’s a busy one! While this time of year tends to get chaotic, it’s important to remember how crucial student attendance is. Chronic absenteeism is a serious problem in South Dakota - a problem SFSD is committed to improving. Missing just two days a month can hurt a student’s grades and increase their chance of dropping out. Make sure your student is on the path to a bright future – and that starts in the classroom!
The November edition of Herd It Here is now available.

We can't wait to see our Bison family hit the dance floor on Thursday November 3rd, from 4-6pm. Please see the flyer for details on how students can attend.

Happy Boss' day to Mr. Hieronimus and Mrs.Vandrongelen!
Shane and Becky are extraordinary leaders, they lead by example. We are fortunate to have such wonderful leaders who are passionate about kids, and are positive and encouraging. They help guide us all daily in their actions, and words. The positivity from both of them is outstanding, and we are so grateful that they are our administrators here at Ben Reifel. They empower others while staying authentic. They are consistent leaders who are fully present and ready to assist whenever needed. We wish them a wonderful Bosses Day today!
