The SSE Learning on Display Series: A Peek Into Our 1st - 2nd Grade Hallway!
We know families don’t get to walk our school halls every day, so we’re bringing a little piece of the classroom to you! This month, our 1st-2nd students worked on stories, letter sounds, kind words, and their creativity is shining in our hallway display. From When I have 100 years and What are they learning notes on the ceiling—artwork, writing pieces, etc, they have put so much effort into their learning. We’re so proud of them!!

Exciting Author Visit at the Library Today!
Today, we are thrilled to welcome Andrea Cruz Floren to our library! She presented her book, En los Naranjales / In the Groves, to our Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd-grade students. This was a wonderful opportunity for our young readers to engage with a bilingual story and meet the author behind the book!
Want to meet Andrea Cruz Floren and get a signed copy? She will be hosting a book signing tomorrow at 11:00 AM at Child’s Play store in downtown Sioux Falls. We encourage families to stop by and support this local author!
And here’s the best part—each classroom received a copy of En los Naranjales / In the Groves to enjoy again and again.

A recent Facebook post regarding Washington High School falsely claimed a routine request for a birth certificate was related to immigration status.
State Law (SDCL 13-27-3.1-3.3) requires all public school students to have a birth certificate on file within 30 days of enrollment. When required records are missing from student files, school staff regularly attempt to contact families before sending the required information to the State’s Attorney.
These requests are made solely to ensure compliance with State Law and to maintain complete student records. They are in no way related to immigration enforcement. We are committed to protecting the privacy of our students and their families.
Please reach out to your child’s school or the district office with any questions rather than relying on social media for accurate information. We appreciate your cooperation in keeping student records up to date.
