May 26, 2021
Message from the Principals
Whew! We made it through an entire year, amidst many obstacles! Thank you for your part in helping to provide a predictable schedule for our students, which is a big part of supporting developing children (especially during times of uncertainty).    
 
This summer, read some, do some math, play some, and connect with family and friends. Fall will be here before you know it!
 
Lynn Bub, SFES Principal

Parent Survey 
Please take a few minutes to complete this brief survey regarding the 2020-2021 school year. Your feedback is important to us as it will assist in planning to support students and families next school year. Please complete one survey per child as we understand that your feedback may vary between teachers, grade levels, and schools. Note that your responses will be anonymous unless you include your name for follow-up assistance.
 
On-Line Registration
Similar to last summer, we will continue to use On-Line Registration (OLR) through our student software program Infinite Campus for our 2021-2022 school year registration process. This will allow you to complete the registration process entirely online. School photos will be taken during the first few weeks of school. 
 
A reminder will be sent in early July, as the On-Line Registration process will open on July 8 and can be accessed at the school district website at www.sheboyganfalls.k12.wi.us/register. Follow the registration link to access your Infinite Campus Parent Portal account using your login and password. If you do not have a parent portal user account set up, please contact any of the three school offices via email for assistance ASAP.  
 
Important information about continued free lunches and free/reduced lunch applications can be found HERE.

Return of Hotspots

Please return the hotspot to any of the school’s main offices before the last day of school. Thank you!
Plan for Free Summer Meals
Meals for All SFSD Families – Meals that meet the USDA requirements and are similar to meals served in school will be available for students. The meals must be pre-ordered using a Google Form link. The District has received a waiver from the USDA and the meals will be provided without charge to families.  
 
If you are interested in ordering free meals for the month of June 2021 please use this link to sign up. This order form is due by NOON on Thursday, June 3.
 
PLEASE NOTE: If your child is attending Summer School in June, they will be receiving a breakfast and a lunch daily. If you have other children that are not in summer school you will need to complete the form for them.
Musicians in Residence
After a full week of personal music work with classes and grade levels, we were excited for our all school celebration with nationally renowned children’s musicians Claudia and Dan Zanes!
Our students and staff are so thankful to our Falcon Families of SFES for your support for a Musician in Residence program, even though it had to be virtual again this school year!
Love Feeds Our World
4th grade Enrichment Math students and Mrs. Lammers wrapped up the 15th year of making and selling pens and pencils with a fuzzy top and google eyes. This year the money made (nearly $800) will be donated to Love Feeds Our World, an organization in Macomb, Haiti, to help feed the village. Thank you parents of SFES for allowing your child to support our fundraiser by purchasing pens and pencils!!

Additional Human Growth & Development
Advisory Committee Meeting Planned for June 9
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 June 9, 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] .
