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!

It is almost summer break so that means it is time for library BINGO! Have fun reading all summer long and earning BINGOs along the way. Here are this summer's rewards:
** Complete a reading log, and check out an additional library book each library class, all year long!
** If 60% of our JHE students submit a completed reading log we will have a Roof Reading marathon. Staff actually read on the roof all day long! Bingo sheets or Siouxland Public library sheets will be accepted.
** If 40% of our JHE students submit a reading log we will have a WACKY obstacle course for students designed by Mrs. Dobberpuhl.
Have fun reading all summer long!
