Notice to parents who are moving out of the district
If you are anticipating a move or moving out of the Sheboygan Falls District during the current school year, your student can continue attending school in Sheboygan Falls. Please contact your building office, or the district office, to receive DPI Form PI-9419-B – Request for Tuition Waiver Due to Move, for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year. Completion of this form will enable your child to continue attending school in the Sheboygan Falls District even though you no longer live within the District boundaries for the remainder of this school year. An open enrollment application or alternate open enrollment application will then need to be completed for the 2020-2021 school year and beyond. Please call Julie Hahn at 467-7893 if you have any questions regarding tuition waivers or open enrollment.
Attendance Matters
 
Date Set for Required 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 January 20, 2020, from 4 to 5 pm in the District Office inside 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

The high school was very well represented last night at the Kiwanis Children’s Community Christmas held at Pine Haven. Key Club members helped during the event. Mr. Teunissen’s Woods class cut and assembled the little wood wagons.
 
From the Nurses
As we go into winter break, the school nurses want to share that we expect the flu season to really start to roll-in when we return in January. For those of you who like data, take a peek at the most recent WI flu data:
 
Please talk to your children about good handwashing and covering your coughs to prevent the spread of flu. If you haven’t gotten your flu shots, over break would be a great time!!

From the Principal
Dear Parents and Guardians,
As we move further into the holiday season, I am reminded that the spirit of the season is to serve others, reach out to those in need, and better our community. There have been numerous acts of service and charity led by our students and staff that demonstrate that spirit. With the world around us caught up in the frenzy of lights, tinsel, and shopping, we have the opportunity to teach our students, by word and example, what it means to give back.
As the 2nd Quarter continues at its hurried pace, let us slow down and take a moment to honor the holidays by dedicating a few moments and a few actions to the true meaning of the season.
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!
