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.
With the extensive professional development our teachers have been immersed in over the past few weeks, we took some time to pause and recharge.
Yesterday, our staff came together for a learning session centered on self-care and strengthening our school culture. Educators had the opportunity to choose activities that helped them relax and connect, including coloring, puzzling, and games.
The session emphasized the importance of well-being and teamwork, creating a positive and supportive environment for all. To add to the experience, staff enjoyed strawberry floats and snacks. It was a refreshing and meaningful time for all!
There will be a PTA meeting tonight, Tuesday, February 11th, at Cleveland Elementary beginning at 5:15.
Do you or someone you know have a child who will be 5-years-old on or before September 1st?

Start your child off on the right foot this upcoming school year and get them registered now! https://www.sf.k12.sd.us/page/school-registration
A big congratulations to Class 203 and Class 501 for leading the way in attendance for January! With an outstanding 95.94%, Class 203 takes the top spot, closely followed by Class 501 with an impressive 95.75%.

This morning during our in-service, Cleveland and Susan B. Anthony teachers participated in professional learning using the PLC+ model. Teachers worked together to share ideas, reflect on their teaching practices, and find new ways to support student learning and success. These professional learning days are all about growing as educators so our teachers can better meet the needs of your children in the classroom.
REMINDER: There is no school tomorrow, Monday, February 3rd. Teachers will be attending In-service in the morning followed by Parent-Teacher Conferences from 12:00-7:00 at Cleveland.
If you are unsure of your scheduled time, you can call the school office. We look forward to sharing the progress of your child/ren with you during your scheduled time Monday or Thursday night of this week.
Congratulations to our first Cubs Count winners of the New Year. These students were here each day and on time all week.

Happy New Year from everybody at SFSD! Here's to another year of opportunities and possibilities. We are excited to welcome back students and staff TOMORROW, January 2nd, 2025! We can’t wait to see everyone!
Parents: Please remember to show respect and appreciation for your child’s bus driver. A positive relationship helps create a safe and supportive environment for everyone. Here are a few ways to do this:
Greet the bus driver warmly with a smile or friendly hello.
Reinforce to your children the importance of following bus rules and behaving respectfully.
Show gratitude with a simple thank-you, a kind note, or a small gesture of appreciation.
If concerns arise, address them calmly and respectfully—cordial communication sets the tone for a positive interaction.
Remember, as parents, you are setting an example for your child with the words and behaviors you exhibit. Modeling kindness, patience, and respect teaches your children how to build positive relationships with others.
Do you know a teacher who goes above and beyond to inspire their students? Now is the time to make sure they get the recognition they deserve!
