Welcome Jill Blase to Harvey Dunn Elementary!
Meet another new Harvey Dunn Elementary staff member!
Harvey Dunn Elementary has added new staff to the team! Over the next week, we will be introducing our new staff on our Facebook and Instagram pages.
A new app for parents of bus-eligible students is coming soon! The FREE Stopfinder app allows parents/guardians/daycare providers to see pick-up and drop-off times, the location of the bus, and other features in a secure app. More information will be coming soon, including an invitation to set up your child's account in Stopfinder. If you are the primary household of a bus-eligible student, please check your email for more information.
Do you have a 3rd-5th grade girl at Harvey Dunn Elementary that would be interested in participating in Girls on the Run this fall? Registration is open now! Program starts September 6, 2022 and runs Tuesday/Thursday 3-4:15pm. Contact Jasmina Nelson for more information: jnelson@embe.org

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!
