SFES Communicator – April 29, 2021

 
April 29, 2021
Message from the Principals
Welcome to the last full month of school. We are so happy that we have been in-person learning this entire year. As we focus on the end of the school year, we would like the students to think about how they can show their leadership within the building and with their peers. This is a great time of year to remind your child that they will be in an older grade next year and to practice being role models. 
 
And, congratulations to our 4th graders as your time to be Middle School students is quickly approaching. 
 
Together we can all do great things!
 
Lynn Bub, SFES Principal

Elementary Art Showcase
Mark your calendar as you are invited to this year’s Spring Elementary School Art Show hosted by the Sheboygan Falls Memorial Library. I have selected 5K-4th grade artwork which will be on display from May 5th until May 26th. Artwork can be viewed throughout the library during the newly updated library hours, 11 am to 6 pm, which start on May 3rd. Also, please plan to attend one of the two nights set aside for our Opening Reception on Tues. the 11th and Thurs. the 13th. from 6 to 8 pm.
 
As always, we appreciate your patience and understanding as we ask that you use all typical precautions for a public setting during these times. 
 
The creative talents of our community’s youngest artists will be on full display and they have never been more bright and vibrant, plan to join us and see for yourself!

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 May 10, 2021, from 5:30 to 6:30 pm in the library at 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 [email protected]
2021-2022 Open Enrollment
The inter-district public school Open Enrollment program allows parents to apply for their children to attend public school in a school district other than the one in which they reside or to remain in their current district in the event that they move out of the district before the start of the 2021-2022 school year (Moving?
