Mrs. Brockman’s Q4 Rocket Reading crew is all smiles as they show off their annotations from their most recent book! 📚✨ Little does she know… they’re already plotting when and how they’ll be dumping them all on her at the end of the year 😂

Our students have been making some incredible music! Last week, our junior high band and jazz band performed at the Platteview Music Contest. Tonight, our K-6 students filled the middle school gym during their spring concert. The music continues- tomorrow our junior high band small groups and solos head back to Platteview. Thank you Mr. Heitz, Mrs. Hall, and Ms. Chavanu! We are proud of our young musicians.

In recognition of The National Day of Unplugging, our middle school school will participate in SDA Unplugged, tomorrow March 6. All students will store personal and school-provided devices starting at 8:15am on March 6, but we encourage you to support an entirely tech-free day for your student by beginning the morning without devices. Students and staff will engage in learning and activities without technology to help promote balance, creativity, social connection, and focus.

We also invite you to join us for a SDA Parent Partnership Meeting on March 9 at 6:00PM in the SDA MS Library. During this time, we will discuss how we can work together to support student behavior, healthy technology use, and mental health. We will share current research, practical strategies, and helpful tips for supporting students both at school and at home. We value your partnership and hope you are able to join us.
