Your preteen is navigating their first summer without childcare. Older siblings are caring for younger siblings at home and meal preparation is a little too much responsibility. You’ve hired a teenage companion to take your kids to the parks, camps, and activities but this means funds are tight for food.
These are all real scenarios playing out in homes and apartments across Sioux Falls. That’s why the Sioux Falls School District is proud to, once again, offer free breakfasts and lunches to all children, ages 1-18 during June and July 2023.
Using meal counts from previous summers, the Office of Child Nutrition established a schedule for breakfast to be offered at eight schools on Tuesdays through Thursdays. Lunch will be served Mondays through Thursdays at six locations and Monday through Friday at two locations. The schedule will be emailed to SFSD families and will be posted on the District’s website: sf.k12.sd.us. No income eligibility paperwork is required..

🔤 Kindergarten ABC Celebration! 🔤
As we wrap up these last few weeks of school the kindergarten students will be celebrating all of the letters of the alphabet! If you have a kindergarten student, help them join in on all the fun!🎉
TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK!!!!
This week we want to take a minute to help celebrate all of the amazing teachers in our building and those around Sioux Falls. Finding little ways to celebrate all of our teachers makes a tremendous impact on all of the work they do each and every day!
"Teachers play a key role in the community by not only teaching their specialized subjects, but also by imparting valuable life lessons and exposing students to new ideas" and learning each and every day!
We have become aware of a scam circulating that appears as if SFSD Child Nutrition Coordinator Gay Anderson is asking people to go out and purchase large dollar amounts of gift cards. Gay has NOT sent out a text or an email. Her communication devices appear to have been hacked. Please delete any communication and do not follow through with the request. We apologize for this inconvenience.

The challenge is on. 🤩 With only four weeks left of school we want to have a little fun and get all of our students to school every day and finish the school year strong. We know that getting students to school on time, 7:55am, each day helps build skills that go beyond the classroom. Throughout the next couple of weeks, we will have surprise celebrations to help celebrate students that are here each day ready to learn.
We are proud to announce the Sioux Falls School District has been named a #BestCommunitiesforMusicEducation from @nammfoundation for its outstanding commitment to music education! Congratulations to our music educators, our talented students, and our community for your support!
Kindness Challenge is on! As spring is upon on we wanted to take a moment and really encourage our students to show kindness all over our school.

The stats are troubling-47% of SFSD students qualify for free/reduced lunches. Their family's income is not enough to make ends meet. That makes it difficult to support school fundraisers. Operation Hope & Caring helps! Get your tickets to the SF STORM game to support schools!
Does your child have conflict resolution skills to solve everyday problems? Join us Tues, April 18 at 6pm to hear from SFSD & Avera Behavioral Health in this month's Family Forum Series segment. Watch for the link in your email. It's practical advice to strengthen families.
