Welcome back!
As you might expect, this time of year finds our students and staff establishing school routines and setting goals for the year. We are off to a great start.
You can support at home by modeling enthusiasm for school, reading together, and supporting healthy sleep and eating habits. We are so fortunate to have your partnership in our learning community. Happy Fall!

Hello, from Sheboygan Falls Elementary School Counselors! We are excited to be back for another wonderful school year with our students! We wanted to introduce ourselves and share some information about our School Counseling Program.
The Sheboygan Falls School District Comprehensive School Counseling Program adheres to the philosophy that the School Counseling program is an essential and integral part of the overall education process. This program supports, facilitates and encourages classroom instruction and student achievement. Our counseling program is proactive and preventive in its focus.
More specifically, our mission is to maximize the potential of all students, helping them to become caring, capable, connected, and confident members of society. The program addresses the personal/social, educational and career needs of all students. The program’s ultimate goal is for students to graduate with the competencies necessary to make self-directed, realistic and responsible decisions and to be successful contributors to society.
We support student success through weekly classroom School Counseling classes, small groups, and individual counseling. We advocate for what is best for our students and provide support through communication and collaboration with staff and families. If you have any needs or concerns that arise this school year, please feel free to reach out to one of your Elementary School Counselors!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Humski & Mrs. Lorge
SFES Counselors – Investing in You!

This week we received our first shipment of free books. Every month, each of the 4K students will go home with a free book thanks to some very generous partners in education. This months selection was The Gruffalo. Look at those excited readers. Thank you to all of our donors!! Happy reading 4K families!!

This school year, the 4th grade Falcon Leaders have had some restructuring. You will see them around the building taking more of a leadership role in supporting students’ expected behaviors in the hallway and in the lunchroom. Watch for them outside to help greet in the morning and to help dismiss at pick up. We are so excited to watch these students grow as leaders.

We are thrilled to have PikMyKid procedures up and running. The safety of our students is our number one priority. We have found that this new process has allowed for more secure procedures. Thank you for taking the time to be flexible as we make changes to best support all.
If you have any questions about the after school routine, please contact the office.

On September 13, we kicked off our 4K family events for the year with a wonderful tradition: 4K family football night. Our 4K community shared a meal and then were treated to a Falcon Football win! Prizes and pom poms were the icing on the evening. We can’t wait for our next 4K family event!

Reminders from our School Nurses!
|
|
Please remember to make sure you to communicate your children’s immunizations to your school nurses. If you are new to the district, or have a student entering 4k, 5k,or 6th grade you need to provide a copy of updated immunization records.
We also want to remind you of our policy of when not to send your children to school. This information is also on the district website and in the handbooks
Cold/Sore Throat/Cough:
A child with a severe cold and hacking cough should remain home and rest even though they may not have a fever. If your child complains of a sore throat and has no other symptoms he/she may go to school. If white spots can be seen in the back of the throat or a fever is present, keep the child home and call your physician
Stomach Ache/Vomiting/ Diarrhea:
Contact your doctor if your child has a stomach ache which is persistent enough to limit his/her activity. If vomiting occurs, keep your child at home until he/she can keep solid food down. A child with diarrhea should be kept home. Contact your doctor if improvement does not occur.
Fever:
A fever is a warning that all is not right. NO child with a fever of 100 degrees(without fever reducing agents) should be sent to school. Do not allow your child to return to school until he/she has been fever free for 24 hours.
Rash:
A rash may be the first sign of one of the many childhood’s illnesses, such as chicken pox. A rash may cover the entire body or may appear in only one area. Do not send your child with a rash to school until your physician has said it is safe to do so.
