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!
Congratulations to the GMMS Musicians of the Quarter for Quarter 1! These students were recognized for showing outstanding honor, resilience, kindness, and courage in band, chorus, and orchestra. Way to go, Eagles!
