Dear SFHS Falcon Families,

Our school year is off to a great start! We are excited about our academic progress and our athletic and extracurricular events as well as the remainder of the school year. 

It’s hard to believe, but we are almost through Quarter 1 of the 2023-24 school year. As a result, we are asking you to make note of your child’s Quarter 1 grades to this point. At Sheboygan Falls High School, final grades and credits are only recorded at the end of each semester. Therefore, the grades at any point prior to January 19th are only an indication of course progress part-way through the semester.

If you have questions, I encourage you to check with your son or daughter about assignments, look on Infinite Campus or Canvas for details, and/or contact a teacher to discuss any concerns in more depth.

I invite you and any community members to our Veteran’s Day Program on Friday, November 10th at 9:30am in the HS Auditorium. And, we thank you for your active support of your child’s learning and of Sheboygan Falls High School.

Go Falcons!

Mr. Kevin Krutzik

Principal

Sheboygan Falls High School

In June of 2023, a group of teachers and staff met to discuss potential changes to the academic calendar, with a goal of maximizing student and teacher engagement in learning and instruction.  

Identified Goals of the Committee:

• Reduce the number of instructional days in June
• Provide a consistent instructional schedule for students Monday – Friday
• Maximize professional development by dedicating a full day, instead of Wednesday afternoons
• Enhance student supervision / engagement in after-school activities
• Offer families the opportunity to use periodic, longer weekends / holidays for family vacations / appointments instead of instructional days

Important Proposed Changes:

• No early dismissal on Wednesdays
• 4K program will run Monday through Thursday
• More Fridays during the school year without students reporting; teacher professional development opportunities
• School Start Time Changes
• Elementary School: 7:55am – 3:08pm
• AM 4K: 7:55am – 10:55am
• PM 4K: 12:05pm – 3:08pm
• Middle School: 7:50am – 3:10pm
• High School: 7:45am – 3:15pm
• Start / End Dates
• 2024-25 ~ September 3rd, 2024 – May 30th, 2025 (Draft Calendar Here)
• 2025-26 ~ September 2nd, 2025 – May 29th, 2026 (Draft Calendar Here)

Fall is a beautiful time of year, but along with changes in the weather we start to see illnesses on the rise. The best way to prevent the spread of illness is to wash your hands thoroughly. If your family members start to feel sick, how do you know if it is a cold or the flu? Many of the symptoms are the same. Below is a reference that can help you determine if the symptoms you and / or your family member are experiencing is a cold or the flu.  

If you have any questions, please email Nurse Amber or Nurse Deanna.
