The countdown is ON! We are so excited to welcome students back for another great school year! Staff have been busily preparing their classrooms, brushing up on instructional skills, and revisiting the always-important-topic of customer service! See you soon!
A new app for parents of bus-eligible students is coming soon! The FREE Stopfinder app allows parents/guardians/daycare providers to see pick-up and drop-off times, the location of the bus, and other features in a secure app. More information will be coming soon, including an invitation to set up your child's account in Stopfinder. If you are the primary household of a bus-eligible student, please check your email for more information.
What better way to start August than some "inspired" learning? SFSD staff members are sharpening their skills to help your student(s) achieve!
Keep your students fueled to learn! SFSD is no longer able to offer free meals to all students. Now is a great time to add money to their My School Bucks account. Or, for families with qualifying income, it is important to fill out the Free/Reduced Meal application!
Log on to the Parent Portal in Infinite Campus to apply! If you have questions or need help filling out the application please call 605-367-6180. We are happy to help!
Please note: if your student does not have a free/reduced lunch application on file, you will be charged full price for breakfast and lunch starting the first day of school. Thank you!

Summer Panther Academy students broke out of the classroom to experience education outside Patrick Henry‘s walls. They found turtles while kayaking in the big Sioux, they met with the Sioux Falls Police Chief at the courthouse and explored McKennan Park‘s sunken gardens!
Students celebrated their last day of school today by doing various activities with their teams and grade level.
Students at PHMS are ready for the last day of school; some more than others…
Students on team 7- 3 had a busy day yesterday! Not only was it “Cool Cat Day” but they also participated in a mock stock exchange while playing the game “Pit.”
Attention! We still have a few more yearbooks available for purchase. If your student would like a book, please have them bring $20 to their pro time tomorrow!
If you are wondering if you have already ordered one, please email Ms. Bossman at christine.bossman@k12.sd.us

Each month a staff member (or group of staff) is awarded the Pink Panther from the previous recipient. Wednesday, Ms. Meyer chose to give the panther to the Rise EAs. Our EAs work tirelessly every day and go above and beyond to make sure their students are receiving the best possible education. Thank you RISE EAs for your unending commitment to your students!
Getting in on the fun, Mr. Hall vs. Ms. Paula!
