We are excited to announce that Morgan Block has been hired as the first-ever Head Girls Soccer Coach at Saydel High School! ⚽️🦅

Morgan brings a wealth of coaching experience, including time coaching at the high school level at Southeast Polk and years of experience coaching in the competitive youth soccer environment. She also played collegiately at Grand View University and brings a passion for developing athletes and building a strong team culture.

We are especially excited to welcome Morgan to the Saydel family in another role as she joins our district as a teacher at Cornell Elementary!

As Morgan begins the process of building our girls soccer program from the ground up, she shared:

“Every program has to start somewhere. Ours is starting with a group of girls willing to believe, work hard, compete, and grow together. We are laying the foundation for something special and I can't wait to see where this journey takes us. I am excited to be the new girls soccer coach!”

Please join us in welcoming Coach Morgan Block to Saydel!

📢 Parent Absence Requests Through Infinite Campus 📢

Parents and guardians can now submit student absence requests directly through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal!

This is a quick and convenient way to notify the school when your student will be absent, arriving late, or leaving early — no need to call the school!

Through the absence request form, you can:

Select the reason for the absence
Submit a full-day or partial-day absence
Attach documents if needed
Add comments for the school
Track your request after it has been submitted

We encourage families to use this feature whenever possible when reporting upcoming student absences.

Thank you for helping us keep attendance information accurate and up to date! 💚💛

Attention Junior Parents:

We will be having an after prom Meeting in the High School Library on Wednesday, September 2nd at 7:00pm.

After prom is a free event for juniors and seniors to attend after the dance. We need many volunteers to help create a celebration with food, inflatables, and active games with the goal to have a relaxed and safe event.

Please plan to attend and sign up for volunteer spots throughout the year and share ideas for a great party! We look forward to seeing you all there

Thank you,
After Prom Committee
