Welcome to Sidney Public Schools – The Raider Way is Alive and Well
At Sidney Public Schools, we are proud to be a student-centered district, committed to the success of every learner. The Raider Way—our foundation of resilience, responsibility, and respect—is alive and well across our schools and community. As a district, we take great pride in offering high-quality educational opportunities that prioritize the holistic development of our students. Our learning environments are intentionally designed to foster not only academic excellence, but also social, emotional, and personal growth—ensuring each student is equipped to thrive in an ever-changing world.
Guided by our Strategic Plan, we remain focused on continuous improvement across three key priorities.
Goal #1: Learning reinforces our commitment to student achievement through strong, well-rounded instruction and a collaborative Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS), which includes academic, behavioral, and social-emotional learning practices.
Goal #2: Culture focuses on building a shared sense of pride and belonging through transparent communication and community engagement.
Goal #3: Future is about investing in and retaining exceptional staff by providing relevant and meaningful professional development opportunities.
We are fortunate to serve in a community that values education and works closely with our district to support every student. The partnership between our families, staff, and community members plays a vital role in creating a nurturing, empowering environment for students to learn and grow. Together, we will continue to create a culture that promotes connection, high expectations, and mutual respect—ensuring our students feel valued, supported, and inspired to succeed.
As we guide students along their educational journey, we are reminded of the words of Oscar Wilde: “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” This quote captures one of our most important beliefs at Sidney Public Schools—that every student is a unique individual with tremendous potential. We encourage all students to embrace who they are and to boldly step into the future as their authentic selves. Our responsibility is to support and empower them to make the kind of meaningful contributions that only they can offer the world.
Thank you to our educational community for being an essential part of the Sidney Public Schools family. We are grateful for the continued support of our staff, families, and community partners, and we are excited about the opportunities ahead. Together, we will continue to provide a safe, dynamic, and inclusive educational experience that prepares every student for a successful future. Go Raiders!
Sincerely,
Andrew Farber
