Last October, we invited you to share your ideas on how to improve our District through the Better Together Initiative. Better Together, is a crowd-sourced innovation platform the Sioux Falls School District is using to engage all staff in the conversation of how we can continue to build on our rich legacy of providing the best experience for students and staff.
Edison Middle School English Language Arts Teacher Alyssa Anderson submitted the winning idea last Fall, which you can find more information about here. There were many other great ideas submitted and we learned a lot from them. The passion and creativity of our staff was evident.
We look to build on the success of last year’s campaign. The campaign this year will run from October 3rd through Oct 31st. Please submit your ideas by clicking the button below!

National Physical Therapy Month
This October, we’re celebrating National Physical Therapy month to raise awareness about the many benefits of physical therapy – specifically how it helps students within the Sioux Falls School District! Our SFSD Physical Therapists are part of a team that helps support a student’s ability to access their educational environment. As movement specialists, they assist a student’s physical participation in a variety of settings throughout the school day. School PTs are an integral part of helping students have successful educational careers. Please help us thank all our incredible SFSD PTs!
