Friday, January 23, 2026, will be a Remote Learning Day in the Sioux Falls School District!
iPads and Chromebooks were sent home with each student earlier today. We will not have in-person learning in the schools, but students are expected to connect to their Canvas account from home for assignments and learning resources. They have practiced this at school and know what is expected of them.

Mr. Kidd reached out to an art teacher from JFK and had her kindergarten students draw monsters on the first day of school. From there he printed the monster drawings out and surprised each of his ceramics 1 students with a drawing.
Over the course of 2ish months, RHS students sculpted their drawings and brought them to life.
Today they all took a trip to JFK and delivered them in person!
Each RHS student wrote a handwritten note to the kids describing their monsters. It was an incredible experience and could not have been done without these kids at RHS!
Way to represent RHS Mr.Kidd!
