This past year we were blessed with an intern for our Dual Immersion program.
Laura de la Calva is a primary education & kindergarten teacher who came to us from Palencia, Spain.
Hayward was one of four schools in the district to host an intern from Spanish speaking countries. These interns gave students and staff the opportunity to learn about the different cultures, teaching styles, traditions, and dialects of the different Hispanic countries.
We want to thank Laura for being such a great intern this year!

Families of 5th grade students:
We will be celebrating our students moving on to middle school at our 5th Grade Continuation Ceremony on Wednesday, May 25th at 11am. Please join us to celebrate their journey through elementary school!


Here at Hayward, our teachers show up every day ready to make a difference in the lives of our students. Take a moment today, tomorrow, any and every day to let them know you appreciate all that they do.
A special shoutout to Promising Futures for delivering Bagel Boy to our staff to start their day off right!


Parent/guardian feedback is important to SFSD! We just launched a 7-question survey - which takes 5 minutes or less - to help guide the next steps toward becoming the BEST school district in the nation!
Check your email or paste this URL in your browser: https://survey.k12insight.com/r/QDVv1e
The survey is open until the end of the school year. Take the survey once for each child enrolled. If you prefer to only take it on, please reference the oldest child in your household. Thanks for your participation!

Students from McGovern Middle School graced us with show choir and jazz band performances. While all the students did a fantastic job singing, dancing, and playing their instruments, we think those Hayward alumni were pretty phenomenal up there!!

Shoutout to Tammy Ramstad, Payton Pry, and Megan Lang’at for being nominated for the 2022 Dr. John W. Harris Teacher of the Year. Congratulations! The Teacher of the Year event will be held on March 14th, 2022.


Superintendent Jane Stavem hosted nearly 50 future educators Tuesday for "Bagels with the Boss." Student teachers currently working in SFSD classrooms joined us to learning about job opportunities, hear about the support offered by the District's Instructional Coaches, and connect with leadership. We look forward to adding many of these new teachers to our team in the Fall!


The Sioux Falls School District is excited to partner with Siouxland Libraries for a community-wide reading initiative. Throughout the month of March, students, staff, parents, and community members are being encouraged to track how many books they read. View the Count here! https://www.sf.k12.sd.us/page/everybody-reads The goal is to create a community of readers ages 0 –100!
