“Soon our classrooms, halls, and playgrounds will be filled with our community’s most important treasure –
it’s children – and we can’t wait!”

Dear Southern Door Families and Staff:
READY FOR A GREAT SCHOOL YEAR! Tomorrow starts a new chapter in public education! Last week, our SD leadership team welcomed back all our staff and tomorrow, it will be all our students (whether they will be with us face-to-face on site or virtually as remote learners).
While this school year may be filled with some uncertainty, one thing is for sure: our staff members love our children, are passionate in their work about making a difference in their lives, and will be doing their absolute best! Educating and keeping our children healthy & safe remain our #1 priority. Are we ready for this year? You bet! "WE'VE GOT THIS!"

We appreciate all of our community's incredible support of education and also working with us to keep everyone healthy and safe. This is what keeps the long-standing tradition going of Southern Door being a school community that is Eagle Proud and Eagle Strong! WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!

Yours in Education,
Patti
Patricia Vickman, Superintendent
