Communities are transformed by great leaders with big hearts. Did you know that 99% of coaches agreed that coaching Heart & Sole (H&S) was a valuable experience? All you need is a compassion for helping others, availability to meet one a week for 2 hours and a desire to see the next generation achieve their dreams! You do not have to be a runner to coach. Contribute to the H&S mission this season by coaching at Patrick Henry Middle School. Fall 2022 season starts September 6 – November 15, Tuesdays from 4:00pm to 6:00pm. Go to www.embe.org/program/heart-sole for more information.


Today, the City of Sioux Falls and Sioux Area Metro pulled up at Roosevelt High School to explain the public transit "Kids Ride Free Initiative." As the city works to increase ridership and build future transit users, children can ride SAM buses with a School ID/Freedom Pass.

When girls feel a sense of pride, they shine differently. From the first practice to crossing the finish line, Heart & Sole (H&S) girls learn that their self-worth is paramount to all that they do. The lessons in the curriculum help girls unleash their inner superstar and teach them to never let their light dim. Unlock your girl’s limitless potential and join our Patrick Henry Middle School’s team this season! Fall 2022 season starts September 6 – November 15, Tuesdays from 4:00pm to 6:00pm. H&S registration is open! Go to www.embe.org/program/heart-sole for more information.


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!

Welcome back Panthers!
The halls feel better with you in them!

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!


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!
