It is the time of year when we check in on our progress and adjust to finish the year on a high note! Our students are showing growth in the areas of literacy and math, and our staff have continued modeling their own learning journey this year in both areas.

We continue to model and practice safety procedures each month with our students and staff.  If you need some background for home conversations, check out our safety slide deck HERE.

Here is a little glimpse into ES life lately … the 100th day of school, Valentine’s Day, outdoor recess fun, exploring landforms and bodies of water in and around Sheboygan Falls using VR goggles, and creating in Art.

PLEASE TALK TO YOUR KIDS …

ABOUT THE DANGERS OF DRY SCOOPING

Our District has had an increase in students making themselves sick by dry-scooping pre-workout supplements. If taken properly, the powdery substances should be diluted in water and consumed prior to a workout. Unfortunately, the trend that has gained in popularity on Tik Tok encourages consuming the powder right from the scoop, without dilution. This is known as “dry scooping”, and it has many dangerous side effects. There has been at least one documented case of a social media influencer experiencing a heart attack from dry scooping a pre-workout powder.

The safety of our students is of the utmost importance. We are hoping this information will promote healthy conversations within your families. Encourage proper hydration being key and using caution with these powders due to the high caffeine content.
