Sioux Falls plans to expand junior kindergarten to 15 schools in 2027

The Sioux Falls School District plans to expand its junior kindergarten program to full school days at 15 elementary schools for the 2027-2028 school year. It’s part of a district initiative to help students become more kindergarten-ready, assistant superintendent Kirk Zeeck said, adding the data shows a need for the expansion. Zeeck said incoming kindergarteners’ phonological awareness, phonics and word recognition scores − which indicate readiness − have decreased for the last three years. But, he noted those scores have increased in first grade for the last three years. The district has had junior kindergarten academy sites at John F. Kennedy and Robert Frost Elementary Schools for the last decade, Zeeck said, but the district plans to expand to more students’ home attendance centers so more can attend junior kindergarten in their neighborhoods before they start kindergarten. More: Yankton School District hopes to set example for SD schools with early childhood education District staff tested out a full-day junior kindergarten program at Terry Redlin Elementary School this year as “kind of a sandbox to get started,” Zeeck said. Junior kindergarten will expand to full-day programs at these elementaries: Anne Sullivan Cleveland Eugene Field Garfield Hawthorne Hayward John F. Kennedy Laura

Jefferson dominates Harrisburg in SD high school football semifinals

The Sioux Falls Jefferson football team came into its Class 11AAA semifinal game against Harrisburg as the state’s top team. The Tigers came in as the No. 4 seed looking to pull a major upset. Safe to say, that didn’t happen. Jefferson opened the game on a 37-0 run, went into halftime up 51-12 and closed out Harrisburg’s season with a 58-20 win on Friday. "Our defense, phenomenal job getting stops,” Jefferson head coach Eric Struck said. “We knew the way they’d played the last few weeks. They’re want to lean on their run game, so for us to get up and essentially take that away from them as early as we did was huge.” The Cavaliers applied immediate pressure behind its sterling defense. That unit has been one of the top, if not the top, in South Dakota all year, and it flexed its muscles on Friday night. Harrisburg was limited to 151 passing and 66 rushing yards for 217 total. The Tigers went three-and-out on their first three possessions, and that was all the Cavaliers needed to get going. “Offensively and defensively, it was a fundamentally-sound game all around,” Jefferson linebacker Beau Koerner said. “Harrisburg just quit.
