Reminder - you have until September 8th to drop of your dry goods at Scheels for the Tackle Hunger campaign for Feeding South Dakota. Make sure to drop them off in the "Lincoln" bin. Winning school receives $5,000 at the President's Bowl on Saturday!
The Lincoln JROTC was busy this Labor Day weekend! This past Friday, they helped at the food giveaway at the Fairgrounds. On Monday, they put up flags at the USS South Dakota Memorial at Sherman Park in honor of Labor Day. Great job, Cadets!
Today, the City of Sioux Falls and Sioux Area Metro pulled up at Roosevelt High School to explain the public transit "Kids Ride Free Initiative." As the city works to increase ridership and build future transit users, children can ride SAM buses with a School ID/Freedom Pass.
Let's Tackle Hunger before the President's Bowl! Scheel's is hosting a food drive competition from Sept. 1st-8th. Each SF high school will have a donation bin for dry goods for the week. The winning school will receive a $5,000 donation and be announced at halftime. Go Pats!
A couple of fun activities tonight if you are looking to watch the Pats in action:
Girls tennis: Lincoln (3-1) vs. O'Gorman (6-0) @ Kuehn Park 4:00 PM
JV football: Jefferson vs. Lincoln on the new turf at LHS! 4:15 PM
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!
A number of our athletic teams (Girls and Boys Soccer, Girls Tennis, Volleyball, Boys Golf) have already begun their seasons and are off to great starts! Tonight, our football team kicks off for their first game of the season against Roosevelt. See you there!
Students were welcomed back to school this morning by a wonderful performance by our LHS Drum Line!
We are extremely excited to see all of our returning and incoming Patriots tomorrow for the first official school day! Students - please follow this schedule tomorrow. Can't wait to see you all, Go Pats!

The countdown is ON! We are so excited to welcome students back for another great school year! Staff have been busily preparing their classrooms, brushing up on instructional skills, and revisiting the always-important-topic of customer service! See you soon!
A new app for parents of bus-eligible students is coming soon! The FREE Stopfinder app allows parents/guardians/daycare providers to see pick-up and drop-off times, the location of the bus, and other features in a secure app. More information will be coming soon, including an invitation to set up your child's account in Stopfinder. If you are the primary household of a bus-eligible student, please check your email for more information.
What better way to start August than some "inspired" learning? SFSD staff members are sharpening their skills to help your student(s) achieve!
Keep your students fueled to learn! SFSD is no longer able to offer free meals to all students. Now is a great time to add money to their My School Bucks account. Or, for families with qualifying income, it is important to fill out the Free/Reduced Meal application!
Log on to the Parent Portal in Infinite Campus to apply! If you have questions or need help filling out the application please call 605-367-6180. We are happy to help!
Please note: if your student does not have a free/reduced lunch application on file, you will be charged full price for breakfast and lunch starting the first day of school. Thank you!
Students/Families who need assistance with purchasing the necessary school supplies for a successful school year may consider attending Project SOS. The first day of classes for SFSD is Thursday, August 25, 2022.
