Welcome

The Saydel Community School District has an excellent tradition of fostering positive relationships with students, parents and staff. Our daily focus is to meet the unique learning needs of each and every student. We are a district of approximately 1,300 students and provide a small school learning environment for our students. We keep our focus on four non-negotiable goals:

Student Achievement
Enhancing Culture, Image and Relationships
Maximizing the Use of Resources
Demonstrate Innovation

We are a TAP best practices school and believe improving instruction and providing a viable and rigorous education for all students is paramount. TAP, The System for Teacher and Student Advancement is a rigorous professional development model that is implemented daily and weekly through class instruction and teacher leadership meetings. Our instructional model allows us to have two Master Teachers and five Mentor Teachers per building to support our career teachers. Saydel Community School District is an excellent 3A school district conveniently located in the north Des Moines Metro area. We are also 1:1 Chromebooks grades 2-12.

The Saydel Community School District is in the planning stages of a Bond Referendum this fall to fund construction in order to...

Renovate EVERY classroom in the district and build new classroom additions to better support modern teaching methods and individual learning styles.
Improve safety and security at EVERY building.
Improve energy efficiency at EVERY building.
Improve Fine Arts Spaces, Media Centers, and/or Common Spaces at EVERY building.

The proposed facility improvements are founded on four driving factors:

Safety of our buildings and grounds
Modernizing the academic learning environment
1. Update Instructional Environment
2. Enhance Fine Arts Facilities
Further marketing our community through facility improvements
Fiscally managing resources to maintain tax rate
