The preschool opportunity program has been a part of the Robert Frost family for several years. This program funded by the United Way is a wonderful opportunity for families to get their 3- and 4-year old's who are on the Head Start waiting list into an early childhood setting.
Staff include- Teachers- Angie Carda and Sheena Kuipers; EA's- Stacy Felt, Jenny Doescher, and Pam Mollet. Preschool coordinator is Dawn Sigl.
Two RF/CC teachers were featured on Keloland News: Jayne Leonard, kindergarten Robert Frost teacher, and Brooke Duncan, third grade Challenge Center teacher.

Fifth grade RF/CC students got to enjoy a pep rally for band class on Monday! The Lincoln High School students pictured each demonstrated an instrument.
School drop-offs and pick-ups can be messy! Take your time, stay alert, and obey the rules of the road. A safe and orderly process makes the day start and end on a positive note for both students and parents!
A reminder that school starts for our Preschool Opportunity classrooms on Wednesday, August 31st. Morning classes run from 9:05-12:15 and our afternoon classes run from 12:15-3:30.
Any students riding the bus will be receiving their bus pick up and drop off times in the mail early this week as well as your child's ID tag to attach to their backpacks.
We are excited to see everyone on Wednesday!

If you are the primary household of a bus-eligible student, please check your email for more information.
What better way to start August than some "inspired" learning? SFSD staff members are sharpening their skills to help your student(s) achieve!
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!
