SFHS Falconer – December 11, 2020

 
December 11, 2020
Dear SFHS Falcon Families,
 
We hope you had a restful and rejuvenating Thanksgiving and November. As the spirit of the holiday season is upon us, the SFHS would like to wish all of you a joyous and healthy December. I would like to say thank you to our students, parents, and community members for all of their support during these unprecedented times.
 
While we have just four weeks of classes until Semester I ends, we want to encourage all students to remain engaged every day. It is very important that students maintain an instructional routine to maximize their learning. Course content is progressing and it is imperative for students to keep up with their school work. Parents, please be sure to periodically check your child’s progress on Infinite Campus and/or through Canvas. 
 
We at SFHS wish each and every one of you a safe and fulfilling holiday season. Thank you for your continued support of our mission of educating our next generation. 
 
Go Falcons!  
Principal
Sheboygan Falls High School

Seeking Substitute Teachers
The School District of Sheboygan Falls is actively seeking substitute teachers for immediate placement in classrooms.
 
In order to keep schools open for face to face learning, the District is seeking anyone with a teaching license or a bachelor’s degree to assist in filling open positions. Emergency licenses or permits may be granted to qualified applicants. You do not need a teaching license to substitute, as a bachelor’s degree qualifies you to be a substitute teacher.
