Storm Lake Community School District

Today, #AmericasSchool pauses to honor the brave individuals who have served in our nation’s armed forces. Thank you for your dedication, your sacrifice, and your service.

We are forever grateful.

September is College Savings Month, a reminder that planning for education after high school can start at any age!
Whether families are just beginning to explore their options or have been saving for years, every step can help students prepare for future opportunities.

August is National Truancy Prevention Month! As we prepare for the start of the school year, now’s a great time to build strong attendance habits from day one.

Consistent attendance helps students stay connected to their learning, their teachers, and their classmates. Each school day provides opportunities to learn, grow, build relationships, and make progress toward important goals.

We look forward to welcoming our students back and working together to make every school day count!
