Fifteen Sioux Central students traveled to Iowa Central for the Twin Lakes Conference Art Show on Tuesday, March 25th. Each student got to attend two different art workshops put together by the TLC art teachers and ICC. Jazzmin received 3rd place for her non-acrylic painting and Nataley received an honorable mention! Congratulations to all SC students that got to show off their art at the show! As the juror mentioned, you were all selected to go for a reason.

Sioux Central Anatomy & Physiology students had the opportunity to visit Briar Cliff University in Sioux City on March 27th. Students had the opportunity to tour their cadaver donor lab. Students were able to see the actual human tissues they had been studying. Additionally, students toured the campus and heard from different programs including nursing and education. They were also able to hear from the strength and conditioning coaches and men's and women's basketball and volleyball coaches. They learned what it would be like to be a college athlete. Briar Cliff provided an awesome and memorable experience for the students.

Congratulations and a job well done to Taylor, Ashlee, and Natalie!! All three performed at All-State Speech today at UNI in Cedar Falls and had a fabulous day!! All of the coaches are so proud of the hard work they put in all throughout this season to earn this honor! Taylor was a double nominee this year (non-performing in her Solo Musical Theatre), so she got to be recognized in the opening ceremony! These ladies were glad to have some student spectators along to support them.

🐝 2nd Grade Pollination Walk – What a Wonderful Afternoon! 🌸🦋 This afternoon, our 2nd graders wowed us during their Pollination Walk with thoughtful presentations and creative displays all about pollinators. Students shared what they learned through oral presentations, set up in both the upper pod and their classroom, creating a vibrant, science fair-style experience. From colorful posters to confident speaking, their hard work and excitement truly shone through. A huge thank you to Mrs. Rusk and Mrs. Tunink for guiding and supporting students throughout this project! The results were incredible! Thank you as well to all the families, staff, and students who stopped by to support our young scientists! It made the event even more special! Take a look at the photos included to catch some of the magic! 📸👇

Sioux Central Community Update Good afternoon, Sioux Central Community! I wanted to take a moment to share a few important updates regarding snow day make-ups and our upcoming construction project. Snow Day Make-Ups Due to missed days this winter, we will be making up school days from May 27–30 as of today. The last school day, May 30th, will be an early dismissal. More details will be shared as they become available. For students participating in May Term during this time, we will continue to communicate updates accordingly. Hopefully, winter will be kind to us moving forward—though, as we all know, Iowa weather can be unpredictable! Construction Project Updates We’re excited about our upcoming construction project and want to keep everyone informed of the timeline: End of April: The playground will be relocated, and students will use alternative play areas. After Teacher PD Days: Construction crews will begin moving dirt and preparing the site. July: Concrete work will begin, followed by the installation of the sidewalls. This is an exciting project for our district! However, please be aware that the south side of the building will be a high-traffic area with large machinery throughout the construction process. For safety reasons, we ask that everyone avoid this area. I’ll continue providing updates with pictures and descriptions of the progress. This addition to our district will be an incredible asset, and we can’t wait for our students to use and perform in this new space. Thank you for your support, and have a great weekend! Mr. Wood

Say “hello” to even more messaging and announcements in the Sioux Central app! Parents and guardians, check your email and/or texts with instructions to sign up and access new features in the Classrooms section of the app.
