Picture Retakes is Wednesday, November 9th! Any student can do retakes. Students that purchased pictures on the original Picture Day will return the packet of pictures and the same package will be printed with the retake picture at no charge. If students forget the packet of pictures, no pictures will be printed until the old picture packet is received. If this is the student's first time taking their picture, the student will bring the picture order envelope on retake day.
And with a blink of an eye, we are already a quarter way through the 2022-2023 school year! The second quarter is here, and it’s a busy one! While this time of year tends to get chaotic, it’s important to remember how crucial student attendance is. Chronic absenteeism is a serious problem in South Dakota - a problem SFSD is committed to improving. Missing just two days a month can hurt a student’s grades and increase their chance of dropping out. Make sure your student is on the path to a bright future – and that starts in the classroom!
This week for Wow Wednesday, we are highlighting classroom 304 and their math learning with graphs and line plots. What a fun way to put their graphing skills to practice!
