And with a blink of an eye, we are already a quarter way through the 2022-2023 school year! The second quarter is here, and it’s a busy one! While this time of year tends to get chaotic, it’s important to remember how crucial student attendance is. Chronic absenteeism is a serious problem in South Dakota - a problem SFSD is committed to improving. Missing just two days a month can hurt a student’s grades and increase their chance of dropping out. Make sure your student is on the path to a bright future – and that starts in the classroom!


🎶🎵Musical Delight 🎻🎶 Yesterday our 4th grade students took a short walk to the Oakview Library for a wonderful musical treat! They enjoyed a fun story and a small symphony piece to start their day!



Let’s take a moment to celebrate all of our learning, growing, and fun!! Fall parties are underway to celebrate each student and their growth!!! Happy Friday! ✏️🍁🥳🤩




Today is officially the start of 2nd quarter! Students and teachers worked hard all of 1st Quarter to learn, grow, and lead together! At our assembly we celebrated all of our students and teachers! 🌟Take a minute this weekend to ask your student about all of the things they have learned so far this school year! 🎉😁
