SFHS Falconer – April 2019
April 2019
A Message from the Principal
 
Dear SFHS Falcon Families,
 
The start of the fourth quarter always makes me stop and think, “What happened to the year?” This school year is no exception. It has been a great year from my perspective. The students that attend Sheboygan Falls High School and the adults that work here make SFHS truly a great place to be!
 
As the year winds down, there are two important reminders for parents and students. First, on April 16 and 18, our 10th graders will be taking their ACT Aspire tests. The 9th graders will be taking these exams on April 23 and 25. These assessments are part of the state of Wisconsin’s required standardized testing. Please make sure your student(s) are in school those days and encourage them to do their best.
 
Second, it is very important that SFHS students and parents are thinking about the future. Parents, make sure you are aware of your son/daughter’s course selections for next school year. You should know what classes they are registered for and feel comfortable with the level of rigor in the courses selected. This is especially important for current juniors who will be going into their senior year. Colleges have found that students who take a more rigorous course load during their senior year of high school are better prepared as college freshmen. If you as the parent/guardian are unsure of the classes your child has chosen, feel free to contact Student Services at SFHS for that information.
 
Please also help us ensure classroom success for the remainder of the school year by assisting your student with their day-to-day academic work. As always, we thank you for your support and encouragement!
 
Go Falcons!

English 12 Students Participated in Mock Interviews
 
All students in English 12 participated in mock interviews with over 20 representatives from a variety of area businesses. Students prepped for this incredible experience by discussing interview etiquette, preparing resumes, learning how to “brand” themselves, and demonstrating their communication and soft skills. Feedback from the interviewers was extremely positive showing that students are prepared for whatever their next steps may be. Thank you to all interviewers!
Spring Athletics
 
The spring sports season is in full swing with lots of opportunities to come watch the Falcon student athletes in action. Come support your Falcon sports teams!!! GO Falcons!!!
Please note that attendance is always crucial to student success and is mandatory for student participation in co-curricular activities.
