🔺 At Sioux Central, our Rebel Mentoring Program is all about connection. We bring students together across grade levels and pair them with peers and adult mentors to build relationships, offer support, and create a strong sense of belonging.
🔺 One of the most special parts ⁉️ Our high school mentors. These students volunteer their time for the entire school year to meet weekly with the same mentee. They show up, build trust, and invest in younger students in ways that truly matter. Watching them step into leadership roles and realize the impact they can have just by being present is something special.
🔺What started small continues to grow each year. More mentors. More students. More connections. It’s become a time in the week our students genuinely look forward to.
🔺Recently, mentoring groups created personalized “You Rock” appreciation rocks for Sioux Central staff to receive during Professional Development. Each rock was designed as a small but meaningful thank you for the time, energy, and heart our teachers and staff pour into our students every single day.

Our staff are gearing up for another day of Professional Development this Friday as Sioux Central begins Year 1 of our three-year partnership with PQlife. We are proud to serve as a flagship school for PQlife in the state of Iowa.
Backed by more than 30 years of motivational science, PQlife helps individuals better understand what drives them through a Passion Profile assessment. Our staff have gained valuable insights into their unique passions and motivations, leading to stronger self-awareness and deeper understanding of how they collaborate with colleagues and connect with the students they serve.
At Sioux Central, we are proud of our staff and the strengths they bring to our classrooms every day. Investing in personal growth means investing in our students; now and for years to come. #SiouxCentralRebels #RebelsOnDuty

Sioux Central families,
We kindly ask all parents and guardians to regularly monitor their student’s lunch account balance and ensure accounts remain in a positive status.
Maintaining a positive balance helps our Nutrition Program operate smoothly and ensures your student(s) can move through the lunch line quickly without interruptions. Low or negative balances can delay service and require additional follow-up from staff. Students will not be allowed extra milk, yogurt, or extra main dish if their account is negative.
You can check your student’s balance and add funds through School Pay at any time, or by sending cash or a check to the office. If you need assistance accessing your account or have questions about balances, please contact the Sioux Central Nutrition Secretary, Josie Fahrenkrog.
Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep our meal service running efficiently for all.

DeliSh Central is officially OPEN for the school year!

Today’s first meal featured Rigatoni, Caesar Salad, and Cannoli, led by Head Chef Cristhian!
•Main Dish: Rigatoni all’Amatriciana with breadstick
•Side: Classic Caesar Salad
•Dessert: Cannoli
This hearty Italian meal brought bold flavors, serious comfort, and a sweet finish to start the year right. From perfectly cooked rigatoni in rich tomato sauce to crisp Caesar salad and a cannoli finale, it was a hit from first bite to last crumb.
And let’s talk popularity…
DeliSh Central spots filled up in record time, with all slots claimed almost immediately. Blink and you missed it.

Thank you to Chef Cristhian and the entire class for launching the year in delicious fashion!!!!
