Mrs. Koehl’s class is enjoying “Kindness Elves” this December to help them be more kind and thoughtful during this festive time of year. Yesterday the “Kindness Elves” asked the students to read to a Kindergarten class. Mrs. Kluz’s class graciously accepted our invitation! What an excellent opportunity for the 4th graders to read and work with a wonderful group of Kindergarteners!

Inspire Sheboygan County Externship
|
|
Eleven district teachers recently took part in an externship at American Orthodontics in Sheboygan. Check out their feedback below.
I really enjoyed having the opportunity to visit AO. It allowed me to experience how the problem-solving skills that we teach in the classroom are applied in a real-world setting. Thanks again AO!
~ Mr. Perkovich
It was a validating experience for me, as a lot of the skills they are looking for in their employees are pieces we are teaching and embedding through our social skill instruction (problem-solving, communication, responsibility, time management, etc.).

Date Set for Required Human Growth & Development Advisory Committee Meeting
|
|
|
Wisconsin Statute 118.019 states that school districts that offer human growth and development must have an advisory committee appointed by the school board and composed of parents, teachers, school administrators, pupils, health care professionals, members of the clergy and other residents of the school district to advise on the design and implementation of the human growth and development curriculum and to review the curriculum. Although not included in the current statute, to keep the Human Growth and Development curriculum current, a regular review of the curriculum is recommended at least every three years.
Community and staff members are invited to the advisory meeting on January 20, 2020, from 4 to 5 pm in the District Office inside Sheboygan Falls High School. Community and staff members interested in participating should contact Director of Instruction Mary Lofy Blahnik at District Office 920-467-7893 or email

Notice to parents who are moving out of the district
|
|
|
If you are anticipating a move or moving out of the Sheboygan Falls District during the current school year, your student can continue attending school in Sheboygan Falls. Please contact your building office, or the district office, to receive DPI Form PI-9419-B – Request for Tuition Waiver Due to Move, for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year. Completion of this form will enable your child to continue attending school in the Sheboygan Falls District even though you no longer live within the District boundaries for the remainder of this school year. An open enrollment application or alternate open enrollment application will then need to be completed for the 2020-2021 school year and beyond. Please call Julie Hahn at 467-7893 if you have any questions regarding tuition waivers or open enrollment.

Battery Caution
A friendly reminder to keep children and pets safe this holiday season: double check that the batteries in your ornaments/holiday decorations are secured with a screw. If accidentally ingested, these “button-batteries” cannot simply “be passed” due to the injuries the battery acid can do if they leak internally.

Flu
As we go into winter break, the school nurses want to share that we expect the flu season to really start to roll-in when we return in January. For those of you who like data, take a peek at the most recent WI flu data:
Please talk to you children about good handwashing and covering your coughs to prevent the spread of flu. If you haven’t gotten your flu shots, over break would be a great time!!

Message from the Principals
|
|
|
Dear SFES families,
With this season of snuggling in, we would like to encourage everyone to continue reading over the winter holiday break! Read a menu, a favorite magazine, play a board game with directions, or read a recipe! Spending time reading with children in your daily life sets them up for a lifetime of this important skill. Have a wonderful break!
