Hayward Family Movie Night on Friday, March 7th
Hayward Family Movie Night on Friday, March 7th
We are seeing some safety concerns during morning drop off and our number one goal is to keep everyone safe at Hayward. A few reminders: --Please pull over to the curb before letting your child out of the vehicle. Stopping in the street to let them out isn't safe for anyone. --Please use the crosswalks to cross Valley View, do not cross at by the circle drive exit-this is not a safe place to cross. --Please understand we can only stop traffic at the circle drive exit to allow you to safely turn RIGHT. If you choose to turn left, we are not stopping that traffic and you are at higher risk of being in an accident. We understand morning drop off can feel chaotic and rushed, and we are always doing everything in our power to keep things moving quickly and safely. Please help us out with this by being patient, allowing extra time, or dropping off on Holbrook and having your students walk across the playground to the front doors. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Estamos viendo algunos problemas de seguridad durante la entrega por la mañana y nuestro objetivo número uno es mantener a todos seguros en Hayward. Algunos recordatorios: --Por favor, deténgase en la acera antes de dejar que su hijo salga del vehículo. Pararse en la calle para dejarles salir no es seguro para nadie. --Por favor use los cruces peatonales para cruzar Valley View, no cruce por la salida circular; este no es un lugar seguro para cruzar. --Por favor, comprenda que solo podemos detener el tráfico en la salida circular para permitirle girar a la DERECHA de manera segura. Si elige girar a la izquierda, no detendremos el tráfico y usted corre un mayor riesgo de sufrir un accidente. Entendemos que la entrega por la mañana puede resultar caótica y apresurada, y siempre estamos haciendo todo lo que está a nuestro alcance para que todo avance de manera rápida y segura. Por favor ayúdenos con esto siendo paciente, permitiendo tiempo adicional o dejándolos en Holbrook y haciendo que sus estudiantes crucen el patio de recreo hasta las puertas principales.

Happy Social Worker Week! In the Sioux Falls School District, every student's journey is unique. For many of the kids we serve, our school social workers are there every step of the way! Whether offering a listening ear, connecting families to resources, or advocating for students' well-being, their dedication ignites hope and creates lasting impact in our schools. This year's theme, Unite to Ignite: Celebrating Our Impact, is a perfect reflection of how our social workers bring people together to create brighter futures for students.
