Friday, January 23, 2026, will be a Remote Learning Day in the Sioux Falls School District!
iPads and Chromebooks were sent home with each student earlier today. We will not have in-person learning in the schools, but students are expected to connect to their Canvas account from home for assignments and learning resources. They have practiced this at school and know what is expected of them.
Last week was Generosity Week, and students got into the holiday spirit with themed dress-up days, from ugly sweaters to festive red and green. Students and staff joined a penny war for the Cavalier Closet and purchased gifts for Lifescape.
