School drop-offs and pick-ups can be messy! Take your time, stay alert, and obey the rules of the road. A safe and orderly process makes the day start and end on a positive note for both students and parents!
First Monday of the school year!

Sonia Sotomayor Families,
We hope you can all join us for our Open House tonight from 4:00 to 6:00 pm. Food trucks will be available for food purchases from 3:00 to 7:30. We will have tables set up on the playground, so families can enjoy their meals. The food trucks include Taqueria Juanita, Monica's Food Truck, Rudy Navarette, the Hangover Hut, and the Yellow Submarine.
If you still need to provide paperwork such as address verifications, birth certificates, or immunizations records, please bring them to the office during the Open House event. Medications can also be dropped off at the school office.
We look forward to seeing you all tonight!
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!
The school is buzzing with excitement as staff return!!
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!
