Thank you JHE PTO and families for the back to school breakfast that awaits our staff. We are eager to begin another great year at JHE!
Here are a few more Hurricane Hero pictures from open house!
The John Harris Elementary back-to-school open house was a great success! Our Hurricane Hero, who will be named by students this year, was making his way through the hallways to greet families and connect with students. We so enjoyed seeing families connect with our staff.
We would like to extend a big thank you to Southern Hills for providing the John Harris Elementary community with hot dogs, chips, and water during our open house. We are grateful to have them as community partners!

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!
