Thank you, School Bus Drivers!
February 22nd is National School Bus Driver Appreciation Day! Our School Bus drivers have been through a lot this past year. From picking up extra routes due to driver shortages to having to pivot on a dime almost daily. We cannot emphasize their importance enough. Please help us say thank you to our bus drivers not just today, but every day!
No School February 21-22!
Don’t forget, President’s Day Break is Monday, February 21st through Tuesday, February 22nd. There will be NO school these days. See you on Wednesday, February 23rd!
Cardiac arrest remains the leading cause of death in the US. BLS is the foundation for saving lives after cardiac arrest. This week, the Health Career students learned the skill of high-quality CPR for victims of all ages as a single rescuer as well as performing as a team.
The goal of the South Dakota Department of Education is for all students to graduate college, career and life ready. The Office of Career and Technical Education provides support for students’ preparations for postsecondary education and the workforce. Services are connected to approved Career & Technical Education (CTE) programs, work-based learning, student organizations and more. In-line with the department’s aspiration, OCTE works to ensure students not only graduate from high school, but that they are prepared to navigate the transitions and life events that come after high school.
The Sioux Falls School District benefits from hundreds of partnerships. These partnerships range from internship opportunities, job shadows, field trips to local businesses, mentorships, and so much more. All of which results in life-changing work that impacts the trajectory of our students' lives. We recently invited our local business and community leaders to a partnership breakfast at our CTE Academy as a way to say thank you for everything they do for students and staff throughout each school year. We are fortunate to have such a supportive and close-knit community that supports our public schools in such a unique way.
