Today is a beautiful December day, but we know it can't last forever in South Dakota! Make sure you and your student(s) know how to access Canvas for remote learning when weather that keeps kids home can be predicted in advance.
Happy Friday Susan B. Anthony Families!
Please take a few minutes to read our December School Newsletter.
You will see the link to volunteer to help out at Family Night!

Let us know if you have any questions.
Last week, our Kindergarten classes got to decorate balloons for our very own SBA Macys Day Parade!!
What a great way to celebrate our long Thanksgiving break!
Happy Thursday SBA families and friends! We are approaching Family Night!
Family Night is Friday December 8th from 6:30-7:30. It will be a reading theme! Students are welcome to bring a book from home that they can exchange for a new book! They can receive a token for each book/books they bring, to exchange for the same number of books!
You are welcomed to bring blankets or pillows to read on the floor and enjoy a tasty treat with families before the Main Event! The Masked Reader!

Planning Ahead! If your current 5th grader is involved in Gifted Education at their SFSD Elementary, join us tonight from 6-7pm at Patrick Henry Middle School to learn more about the Middle School Honors Program!
Earlier this week, our 5th grade students performed in front of the whole school and parents!
Their concert, called "BIG DREAMS" was a hit! With speaking parts, rapping, drums, and even recorders!
Thank you all for coming out and enjoying the show!
SFSD's new Canvas platform allows students and families to access school assignments and homework anytime, anywhere. When winter weather can be predicted, students and staff will take devices home to continue their learning. Are you prepared? Check out the guidance BEFORE you need it!
Be prepared for school delays or cancellations caused by winter weather! This chart is an example of how start times would be impacted if SFSD declares a One-Hour Late Start. Review it now... before winter weather is here to stay!
Saturday's snow has us thinking ahead to winter weather. Is your family prepared for the possibility of Late Starts or Remote Learning Days? This week, we'll highlight everything you need to know to prepare for changes in the school day caused by weather.
