Washington High School Graduates come to visit Anne Sullivan!
Yesterday we had specials guests come over and march the hallways of Anne Sullivan. Past Anne students came in their graduation gowns to see students and teachers and all celebrate together!
🎓🎓Congrats to all of the Washington High School Graduates of '2024! 🎓🎓
Tonight is THE night! Come out to support SFSD elementary schools without PTAs/PTOs as the Sioux Falls STORM take on the Green Bay Blizzard. It's also Star Wars night, so wear your gear and bring your lightsaber to this fun family event sponsored by LEVO Credit Union!
🦍🐒5th at the Omaha Zoo🐘🦘
5th graders had a wonderful day at the Omaha Zoo! Got to explore all of the exhibits, enjoy a picnic lunch, and do lots of walking!!:)
They are estimated to be back to Sioux Falls around 5pm!
The Weather Service indicates the greatest threat of severe weather did not materialize in Sioux Falls. We will begin our bus routes at approximately 3pm, so there will be a slight delay in getting elementary and middle school students home. High School dismisses at normal time.
Due to the weather 4-30-24, SFSD will hold all elementary students who walk or ride the bus until the system passes. We expect the system to arrive about 2:45pm and be done around 3pm. Busses will not leave the elementary schools until it is safe to do so. This will also cause a delay in middle school bus routes, so plan accordingly. If wx is still an issue at high school dismissal time, we will encourage students to wait to leave until the system passes. Thank you.
Weather may cause some challenges at school dismissal time today. SFSD will make plans with your child's safety as our highest priority. If there are changes, parents/guardians will be contacted immediately. We ask that you please monitor your phone and email closely.
Football & Star Wars Fans Unite! Fri, May 3-7:05pm Sioux Falls STORM take on the Green Bay Blizzard to support Operation Hope & Caring, a fundraiser for SFSD elementary schools without PTAs. Wear Star Wars gear, grab a light saber, and get in on the fun!

5th Grade Middle School Transition is upon us!
Yesterday was the first of a few different visits with Whittier Middle School and other middle school staff to prepare our 5th graders for their upcoming transition. The Whittier Middle School Counselors came to talk to students and parents about what middle school will be like, what to expect, the "Whittier Way", and upcoming visits.
5th Grade parents, more information will be coming home in the next few weeks about Middle school, signing up for classes, and a summer jump start opportunity. If you have any questions in the meantime, please feel free to contact your student's teacher or the school.
Testing Continues!
This next week we will continue testing for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade. Younger students will start the following week. As students work hard at school, sleep at home is increasingly important. Research tells us that sleep is critical for physical health, academic performance, and mental health! 😴
Let's work together to help all of our students do their best each and every day!
3rd Grade Field Trip!
Today our 3rd grade students got a little break from school to visit the Washington Pavilion! They went to watch "Doctor Kaboom Science"!
