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!

This past year we were blessed with an intern for our Dual Immersion program.
Laura de la Calva is a primary education & kindergarten teacher who came to us from Palencia, Spain.
Hayward was one of four schools in the district to host an intern from Spanish speaking countries. These interns gave students and staff the opportunity to learn about the different cultures, teaching styles, traditions, and dialects of the different Hispanic countries.
We want to thank Laura for being such a great intern this year!

Parent/guardian feedback is important to SFSD! We just launched a 7-question survey - which takes 5 minutes or less - to help guide the next steps toward becoming the BEST school district in the nation!

The survey is open until the end of the school year. Take the survey once for each child enrolled. If you prefer to only take it on, please reference the oldest child in your household. Thanks for your participation!
