SFHS Falconer – April 29, 2021

 
April 29, 2021
Dear SFHS Falcon Families,
 
As the year winds down, I have been reflecting on how different this year has been for our students and staff. I’m amazed at how resilient our students are and how they have risen to all of the changes and challenges that they encountered this school year. I’m so proud of our staff who have redesigned their curriculum and classes to meet the many needs of our in person and virtual learners. 
 
Despite the challenges, our students are continuing to do great work! Some examples include:
  • All 9th and 10 grade students recently completed ACT Aspire and Forward (10th grade only) state testing. 
  • Seniors in English 12 presented their Senior Projects in the Senior Showcase. 
  • Spring sports are back in action! 
 
With the remaining five weeks of school, please encourage your student(s) to finish the school year on a positive note. Help us ensure classroom success for the remainder of the school year by assisting your student with their day-to-day academic work and checking progress in Infinite Campus. As always, we thank you for your support and encouragement! 
 
Go Falcons!

Academic & Career Planning Activities
Adulting 101: 11th & 12th Graders:
For Academic and Career Planning activities in April and May, all juniors and seniors have the opportunity to learn more about typical things an adult needs to know. For a total of five weeks, students have been participating and will continue to participate in our virtual Adulting 101 presentations every Monday during Enhancement. The presenters are from businesses in Sheboygan County. In April, these presentations included: Credit, Debt and How to Invest, Banking and Loan Basics, How to Budget your Money, and Financing Higher Education. In May, we will continue this series with General Car Maintenance, Taxes, and Insurance. Students are required to attend at least two sessions over 5 weeks and complete a brief reflection of what they learned, but can choose to attend a session each week.
 
Explore Your Future: 10th Graders
All sophomores are participating in virtual Explore Your Future presentations through the Sheboygan County Chamber. All 10th graders took a personality assessment and watched a video on how personality type can correlate with careers. They will also be watching videos from local businesses regarding career opportunities.

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]
