Dear SFHS Falcon Families,

What a fantastic first semester of the 2023-24 school year!  At SFHS, course grades will be finalized by the teachers no later than Friday, January 26th (approximately one week after the conclusion of Final Exams).

The start of a new semester is the perfect opportunity for our students to set new goals, tackle new challenges, and continue the school year with enthusiasm. Our teaching staff is here to assist each student in having a successful finish to the school year.

During Semester 2, we have planned activities, events, and opportunities for students to connect with their fellow students and teachers. We encourage all parents and families to stay involved in your child’s education and make the most of the resources available at Sheboygan Falls High School.

Go Falcons!

Kevin Krutzik, SFHS Principal

Board of Education Updates

The School District of Sheboygan Falls holds its monthly regular board meetings on the third Monday of the month at 6:00 pm. Come join us on Monday, February 19th! You can find more information about upcoming meetings, your Board Members and more HERE.

As part of our ongoing safety plans, the High School will conduct a fire drill in January.

We are excited to announce that twenty-four school districts are partnering with Channel 5 to recognize exceptional school employees in a program called the “Eastern Wisconsin Excellence in Education” awards. This program is similar to the “Golden Apple” and “Shining Stars” programs in Green Bay and the Fox Valley.

This program allows parents, students, community members, and staff to nominate deserving school employees in the following categories:  

• Innovation in work (How has the employee demonstrated innovation in his/her work area?)
• Culture creator in the work environment (How has the employee gone above and beyond in creating a positive school culture?)
• Social/emotional well being (How has the employee impacted the social/emotional well being of students and/or the school environment?)
• Community involvement (How has the employee positively impacted the community?)
• Student connection (In what ways has the employee built positive relationships with students?) 

NOMINATIONS (FORM LINKED HERE) need to be submitted by February 5th, 2024. Following the submission deadline, a panel of judges will review each nomination to determine finalists. These finalists will then be asked to elaborate on the work outlined in the nomination. The judges will then select the award recipients in each of the five categories.

The awards show ceremony will be held on Saturday, May 18th, 2024 at the Kiel Area School District Performing Arts Center. The program will be live streamed on the Channel 5, WeAreGreenBay.com website.

As communicated last month and as we welcome winter in Wisconsin we would like to reiterate our plan in case of a school cancellation. See HERE for details.

In addition, please note the following:

Any decision to close schools for all or any portion of a school day will be made as early as possible in order to afford parents the opportunity to make alternate child care or transportation plans. All closing announcements or early dismissals will be made on the school web page: www.sheboyganfalls.k12.wi.us, an automated school message, and on the following area radio stations:

WXER 104.5/96.1 FM

WHBZ 106.5 FM

WHBL 1330 AM/101.5 FM

WBFM 93.7 FM   

We are also announcing school closings on the following television stations:

TODAY’S TMJ4

WFRV Local 5 News

WISN (Weather Watch 12)

WITI (FOX 6)

The school district, radio stations and television stations ask that NO individual phone calls for information be made. With the cooperation of everyone, the information can be relayed via the above sources, allowing everyone to be informed as quickly as possible. Thank you for your cooperation with this.

Did you know that the United States Department of Agriculture has a great website that provides information on proper nutrition guidelines for every age group?  We sometimes hear from students that they are not eating breakfast or skipping lunch for various reasons. Sometimes they say they aren’t hungry. Others may be trying to lose weight due to peer pressure or sports expectations. Check in with your children to ensure they are eating a balanced diet. The following websites have helpful tips and activities regarding nutrition.
