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!
Roosevelt Jobs for America's Graduates students will be walking in honor of our Hometown Heroes in the Parade of Lights on November 25th! Students would invite any first responder, veteran, or medical personnel and their families to join us in the parade. Please RSVP at tinyurl.com/sfheroes to sign up.
First semester midterms are on Thursday, October 27. This marks halfway through the 1st semester.
