SFSD congratulates its valued partner Steve Hildebrand of Promising Futures! Steve recently received the Community Service Award from the Associated School Boards of SD for his work to remove economic barriers so all students can see their bright futures ahead. Thank you, Steve!


Back-to-school paperwork just got easier! There's a new, fast, phone-friendly way to fill out the Free/Reduced Meals Application! You'll be notified immediately. Use the QR code or the link to complete it TODAY! Bonus points if you also complete your student registration! 🙂


Do you have a question for us? We've made the process of finding answers much simpler with our Let's Talk! communication tool. We now have our own Let's Talk! page where you can submit questions directly, and it's easy to navigate! Let's Talk! can be found on our school's homepage at either the "contact us" tab at the top or the blue "Let's Talk" tab on the side of the page.


Freedom Reigns! Happy Independence Day!


The Power of Partnership is highlighted, once again, to help SFSD families get connected to affordable internet. The SF Area Community Foundation is investing $50,000 to enroll households in the Affordable Connectivity Program (AFP). SD Voices for Peace leads the effort.
Voices for Peace is working with SFSD schools to inform families of this program. An enrollment specialist will continue to meet families during school events like parent-teacher conferences, success nights, etc. Eligible families should enroll today! GetInternet.gov



Calling all income eligible SFSD children who will be 4-yrs-old by September 1, 2023! We're recruiting students for FREE preschool with an event on July 5 or 6, 8am-4pm, at the SFSD Learning Lab on the Southeast Tech Campus - 2205 N. Career Ave. Tell your neighbors and friends!


What's for breakfast? What's for lunch? All students can eat FREE this summer by visiting one of our Summer Meal Sites. Check the schedule to find out where and when meals are available in your area!


Patrick Henry Students, we hope that you are enjoying the start of your summer. We had a busy last week of school with you and thought you would like to look back at a few moments! See you in August!
