This morning the Board of Directors of the Sergeant Bluff-Luton Community School District accepted the resignation of Bill McKelvey as middle school principal, effective immediately. An interim middle school principal, Dr. LuAnn Haase, has been retained for the remainder of the 2023-24 school year. More information will be shared about Dr. Haase with our middle school families.
The District is aware that there are some social media and other communications out in the community regarding this matter. While the District would like to share all the facts regarding this matter, and clear up any misinformation that may be circulating, it is barred by law from discussing confidential personnel and/or student matters. What the District can disclose to the community is that in all personnel and student matters, District policy, procedures and Iowa law are followed under the appropriate guidance from legal counsel and other outside personnel, as necessary. This matter was no exception. The Board would like to express its continued trust and confidence in Superintendent, Chad Janzen, and convey its appreciation for the efforts of all District personnel as they work to transition leadership in the middle school. The Board is confident that this will continue to be a successful and rewarding year for the students and staff of Sergeant Bluff-Luton.

Joe Beckman spoke to students, by building, in grades 3-12 today. He brings a positive message to students. He shared 5 themes with them:
1. Love YOU
2. Push Through
3. Just Look Up!
4. Fail On
5. Yeah Toast
I encourage you to talk to your children about what they remember from today.
One of my favorites is Just Look Up! He talks about the power of human connection. Disconnect from our devices and connect with each other.
6th grade scientists learning about different kinds of rocks.
Attorney from KSB Law was at school today to talk to MS/HS students about digital citizenship/online safety.
Football game time moved up to 4pm on Friday due to weather. See the news feed on the school app for more details regarding the day.
7th grade was working on negative numbers and 8th grade was working on percentages.
Middle School Families,
Due to our much larger than expected enrolment numbers, almost all of our buses are at capacity. Buses 2, 14, 15, and 17 are at capacity. We will not be able to allow students to ride home with others, switch buses, etc. on those buses. IF this changes, we will work to accommodate your request. Thank you
Something I need to remind myself of.....We often get caught up in one area or situation and let it negatively impact us. Remember that the 'Sun Will Come Up Tomorrow' and we try again. 👍👊
For all of you young girls and ladies, SBL and beyond, who are starting to play sports, let it be known that this picture shows what's possible for female athletics. ❤️❤️
The future is bright with support and possibilities wherever your journey takes you.
So very true. I'm especially grateful for those who take on this role and strive for excellence within it.
Thank you
Our cooks are cooler than yours. Prove me wrong 😂👍👊
A few more of our 6th graders
Our 6th graders have cleared the first few days. Welcome to you all
Due to the heat, SBL, Middle School cross country will not begin practice until Monday, September 28 after school.
A few more pictures from our Flag Raising Ceremony. ❤️🇺🇸
Each year, we start our school day with a student welcoming and a formal 'Flag Raising Ceremony.' We pay tribute to our country, our veterans, and learn about the meaning of the flag. It's a wonderful ceremony. My sincere appreciation to these gentlemen (& all veterans) for their military service and for making our ceremony possible. ❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
THURSDAY--Due to the extreme heat, Middle School Football @SBL will be conducting an indoor practice. Parents can pick up their children at 4:30 at the middle school........ seventh and eighth grade volleyball will still practice in the designated locations with 7th Grade at the high school gym and 8th grade in the middle school gym.
Middle school football will practice Friday morning at 6:30 AM.
Monday morning we celebrated employees who worked for the district for 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 years. We want to give special recognition to Craig Golden for 35 years of service to the students of Sergeant Bluff. Thank you Craig!
It was wonderful to have so many students and families back in the MS building. I very much enjoyed talking and meeting so many of you. We will see all our students Wednesday. Breakfast eaters can wait out front and will be called in at 7:45am; outside entry bell at 8:10am; and classes start at 8:15. With it being Wednesday, we will have an early out at 2:20, each Wednesday throughout the year.
