REMINDER: There is no school tomorrow! It is a TEACHER WORK DAY! School will resume Monday, January 13th. Have a great weekend!


Happy New Year from everybody at SFSD! Here's to another year of opportunities and possibilities. We are excited to welcome back students and staff TOMORROW, January 2nd, 2025! We can’t wait to see everyone!


Parents: Please remember to show respect and appreciation for your child’s bus driver. A positive relationship helps create a safe and supportive environment for everyone. Here are a few ways to do this:
Greet the bus driver warmly with a smile or friendly hello.
Reinforce to your children the importance of following bus rules and behaving respectfully.
Show gratitude with a simple thank-you, a kind note, or a small gesture of appreciation.
If concerns arise, address them calmly and respectfully—cordial communication sets the tone for a positive interaction.
Remember, as parents, you are setting an example for your child with the words and behaviors you exhibit. Modeling kindness, patience, and respect teaches your children how to build positive relationships with others.
