No School Today - Tuesday, January 9, 2024
Following Directions is key to being a good Leader! 👌✔
Coming into the start of 2024, Anne Sullivan students are putting a focus on following directions and showing respect to others! Teachers, students, and all staff are working together to help students understand the direction, say okay, and do it right away! We know that this helps all students become good leaders, strong learners, and respectful individuals!
Want to practice at home? It is three simple steps that we use: Look at the person, get the directions, say okay, and then do it right away!
We will be setting goals in our classrooms and in our school to work on this skill and get better each and every day! WE CAN DO IT! 🎉
Sioux Falls Public Schools are closed Monday, January 8, 2024 due to weather.
❄❄ Winter is HERE! Cold weather is upon us! ❄❄ As we are getting into the cold months and temperatures are dropping, we anticipate snow is coming soon! It is important that we get our students all bundled up in warm clothing to keep them safe as they have fun at recess. If you need help with getting your child winter clothing, please reach out the school and we will see if we can help!
Students should have a heavy winter coat, gloves, hat, snowpants, and boots!
Stay safe and warm this winter season!

A 4th and 5th grade students had a wonderful concert yesterday and an even better night performance. It was so exciting to see all of the students show up and put on their best show. They worked so hard to learn all of their music and pieces for this performance.
