Welcome from the Superintendent 

Jessica VogelIt is my pleasure to welcome you to the South Dakota School for the Blind and Visually Impaired (SDSBVI) website!  At SDSBVI, our vision is for all South Dakota children who are blind or visually impaired to have full access to educational resources that prepare them for life.  We view each child as an individual, deserving of personalized learning opportunities focused to help them achieve their highest level of independence.  Our teachers are experts in the field of visual impairments, who provide innovative programming on our beautiful campus, adjacent to Northern State University.  SDSBVI’s outreach consultants, also visual impairments specialists, provide visual impairment assistance to students, families, and educators throughout the state through our thriving outreach program. 

Families, school districts, and the community are key partners in meeting the needs of each child.  Whether you are a student, parent, or member of the community who wishes to contribute your time or support, I invite you to join us in transforming the lives of children with a visual impairment.  SDSBVI is a greater community with you involved. 

Thank you for visiting the South Dakota School for the Blind and Visually Impaired website.  I invite you to use the "Contact Us" link located at the bottom of the page in the footer with any questions, or to explore ways you can make a difference at SDSBVI! 

Sincerely, 

Jessica Vogel, Ed.D.
