Today, across South Sioux City Community Schools, stories are being opened, imaginations are growing, and the love of reading is shining bright.
Reading isn’t just about words on a page, it’s about discovery.
It’s about connection.
It’s about building confident, curious Cardinals.
From our youngest learners to our high school readers, every page turned is a step toward opportunity. And thanks to our incredible teachers, staff, and families who nurture a love of literacy every single day, our students are learning that books can take them anywhere.
At SSC, we don’t just celebrate reading today, we live it all year long.

📚⏰ Attendance Matters!
Every tardy, early check-out, and absence adds up.

Every minute counts when it comes to reading on grade level and student success.
Thank you for partnering with us to help students arrive on time and stay all day—every day.❤️📖

Gracias por trabajar junto a nosotros para que los estudiantes lleguen a tiempo y permanezcan todo el día ❤️📖
Morning preschool classes will be canceled.
Full-day preschool will begin on a two-hour delay.
This delay allows transportation staff time to start and warm buses and provides facilities staff the opportunity to check and prepare school buildings prior to student arrival.
Please note: the previously scheduled early dismissal for PLCs will remain in place.
We will continue to monitor conditions and communicate any additional updates as needed. The safety of our students and staff remains our top priority.

Este retraso permite que el personal de transporte tenga tiempo para encender y calentar los autobuses, y que el personal de instalaciones pueda revisar y preparar los edificios escolares antes de la llegada de los estudiantes.
Nota: La salida anticipada previamente programada para los PLC se mantendrá según lo previsto.
Continuaremos monitoreando las condiciones y comunicaremos cualquier actualización adicional según sea necesario. La seguridad de nuestros estudiantes y personal sigue siendo nuestra máxima prioridad.

This is the final week of the Weigh-In for Hunger challenge, and we are asking for one last push to support this great effort led by our SSC Wrestling program in partnership with Educators Rising.
The friendly competition between Boys Wrestling and Girls Wrestling is still underway. As of today, the Girls team is in the lead with 72 cans, while the Boys team has collected 24 cans—but there is still time for the standings to change.
Students, staff, and families are encouraged to bring canned food donations to any home event this week or send items with students to drop off at school during the day. Every can counts toward a team’s total and helps support local food security efforts.
Thank you for helping us finish strong and for continuing to support both our students and our community through this meaningful initiative.
