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!

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.

Dear SFHS Falcon Families,

As we move further into the holiday season, we would like to say thank you to our parents, families, and community members for all of your support during the school year.

While we have around 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 continually progressing and it is imperative for students to keep up with their school work. Families are strongly encouraged to periodically check their 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. As always, we thank you for your active support of your child’s learning and of Sheboygan Falls High School.

You’ve likely heard recent conversation around the child care challenges facing our community. The United Way of Sheboygan County is part of a cross-sector team working to address child care challenges in the County. They need our help to better understand the impact of the child care shortage on our workforce and community.

United Way is currently conducting a survey open to all Sheboygan County residents to gather quantitative data on how child care challenges are impacting Sheboygan County. It would be greatly appreciated if you could share your feedback by participating in the survey at sheboyganchildcaresurvey.org, the results of which will be shared at a community event in February.

We are excited to share incredible news regarding Sheboygan Falls High School’s academic achievements! Our school has secured the #1 spot in the Wisconsin DPI report card scores within the EWC Conference and an impressive #3 ranking in Sheboygan County.

This accomplishment is a reflection of our collective commitment to excellence, encompassing various aspects such as attendance, behavior, and, most importantly, academic achievement and growth. Over the past couple of years, we’ve embraced new curriculum materials and concentrated on Universal Instruction strategies to ensure that every child receives quality education. The dedication of our students, combined with the hard work of our staff, has resulted in this outstanding achievement.

We extend our deepest gratitude to our families for your unwavering support and enthusiasm for learning at home. Your partnership is integral to the success of our students, and we are fortunate to have such a supportive community.

You can see our Wisconsin DPI State Report Card here.

As communicated earlier this month and as we get closer to potential inclement weather, we would like to reiterate our plan in case of a school cancellation. See HERE for details.

A quick reminder: Please refrain from using the front circle for student drop-offs, as it serves as the designated bus lane. Your cooperation ensures a smoother flow for everyone. Thank you for your understanding!

On Saturday, November 18th the Sheboygan Falls High School Pep Band performed before the Milwaukee Bucks and Dallas Mavericks basketball game. Congratulations on a great performance and great time together!

CONGRATULATIONS to the Swim and Dive Team!!!

At the State Swim & Dive meet, all five of the team state qualifiers medaled at least once with a podium finish and six of the seven swimming events earned medals. The team as a whole placed 6th at State! 

According to the CDC, E-cigarettes are the most commonly used tobacco product among U.S. middle and high school students.

• In 2022, about 1 in 10 or 2.55 million U.S. middle and high school students used e-cigarettes at least once in the past 30 days, including 3.3% of middle school students and 14.1% of high school students.

Disposable e-cigarettes are the most commonly used device type among U.S. middle and high school students who vape. Vaping can have health risks for youth. Most vapes have nicotine in them, which is highly addictive. Nicotine use in adolescence:

• Can harm brain development, which continues until about age 25.
• Can impact attention, learning, mood, and impulse control.
• May increase risk for future addiction to other drugs.

Nurse Amber and Nurse Deanna both frequently see several kids who make themselves ill via vaping, and some who also become addicted. It is important for you to talk about this topic at home with your children!

Wishing you a safe and healthy holiday season!

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!

Dear SFHS Falcon Families,

Our new school year is off to a busy and productive start. Our Freshmen were welcomed as part of a fun-filled and informative Connections Mentor Program. Students and staff were on hand to provide the best environment possible for our newest Falcons.

It is clear that students who are involved in school outside the classroom (as well as inside the classroom) are more successful. Related to this point, a reminder that our Enhancement period includes the opportunity for students to take part in a variety of clubs / groups during the school day on Wednesdays and Fridays throughout the school year. Information on the clubs / activities available at SFHS will be sent to all students and families via email.

SFHS offers a variety of work-based opportunities for students. There are two upcoming opportunities available for students 16 and older. First, there is an informational night for Youth Co-Ops for 2nd quarter on Monday, October 2nd at 6pm at UW-GB Sheboygan. Check out Inspire Wisconsin or scan the QR code below for more information.

Medication must be picked up prior to the last day of school (June 8th). We cannot store any medication over the summer.

If you do not want the medication remaining, or have any questions, please email Nurse Amber or Nurse Deanna.

Dear SFHS Falcon Families,

As the year winds down, it is very important that SFHS students and parents are thinking about the future. Parents, make sure that you are aware of your son’s / daughter’s course selections for next school year. You should know what classes they are registered for and feel comfortable with the level of rigor in the courses selected. This is especially important for current juniors who will be going into their senior year. Colleges have found that students who take a more rigorous course load during their senior year of high school get better grades as college freshmen. If you, as the parent / guardian, are unsure of the classes your child has chosen, feel free to contact Student Services at the SFHS for that information.

Please also help us ensure classroom success for the remainder of the school year by assisting your student with their day-to-day academic work. As always, we thank you for your support and encouragement!

Go Falcons!

As summer is approaching, don’t forget to make your child’s wellness exams and vaccine appointments. If you wait until fall, it can be very challenging to get in!

Dear SFHS Falcon Families,

As we near the end of Quarter 3, I would like to thank the entire SFHS community for your support. We would not have the success that we enjoy here if it wasn’t for our supportive parents and families. As we begin Quarter 4, please note that we will be completing the state-mandated PreACT Secure test on Wednesday, April 5th for the 9th and 10th graders (a messenge was sent from me with information / details) and Forward testing in mid-April for 10th graders in Global Studies classes.

It is extremely important that our students participate fully in the testing process. The state requires 95% participation for us to be considered a passing school. The data is also very important for our teachers to be able to reflect on and adjust curriculum where necessary. If you could make the month of April free of interruptions, that would help us out considerably. We really appreciate your help in getting through this very busy time of the year.

Please also help us ensure classroom success for the remainder of the school year by assisting your student with their day-to-day academic work. As always, we thank you for your support and encouragement!

Go Falcons!

Mr. Kevin Krutzik

Just a reminder that our school nurses are here to make recommendations based on your child’s health and whether they’re able to remain in attendance at school. They are not licensed to exempt your child from attending school, based on Wisconsin compulsory attendance statute 118.15(3) The school attendance officer may request the parent or guardian of the child to obtain a written statement from a licensed physician, dentist, chiropractor, optometrist, psychologist, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner.

Dear SFHS Falcon Families,

We are full swing into the 3rd Quarter and Semester II at SFHS. I encourage parents and students to take some time and discuss how the new semester is progressing and create academic goals to finish the school year strong. Late or missing homework can be a huge deterrent to success—now is the time to make sure your student stays on top of his/her work and does not get behind. 

In addition, we are asking you to make note of your child’s Quarter 3 grades to this point. At SFHS, final grades and credits are only recorded at the end of each semester. Therefore, the grades at any point prior to June 8th (May 30th for Seniors) are only an indication of course progress part-way through the semester. We look forward to working together for your child’s success.

Go Falcons!

PLEASE TALK TO YOUR KIDS …

ABOUT THE DANGERS OF DRY SCOOPING

Our District has had an increase in students making themselves sick by dry-scooping pre-workout supplements. If taken properly, the powdery substances should be diluted in water and consumed prior to a workout. Unfortunately, the trend that has gained in popularity on Tik Tok encourages consuming the powder right from the scoop, without dilution. This is known as “dry scooping”, and it has many dangerous side effects. There has been at least one documented case of a social media influencer experiencing a heart attack from dry scooping a pre-workout powder.

The safety of our students is of the utmost importance. We are hoping this information will promote healthy conversations within your families. Encourage proper hydration being key and using caution with these powders due to the high caffeine content.

Dear SFHS Falcon Families,

What a fantastic first semester of the 2022-23 school year that is now behind us. At SFHS, course grades will be finalized by the teachers no later than Friday, January 27th, one week after the conclusion of Final Exams.

I would like to thank our students, staff, and families for a great first half of the school year.  Besides all of the impressive work happening inside our classrooms, we saw a lot of great achievements by our athletes and performing arts students. I cannot wait to see what the second half of the year has in store for us!

Go Falcons!

February 20th: Parent/Teachers Conferences

SFHS Safety Update: 

The flyer below has been posted around the school.

Experience has shown that a pattern of regular attendance is essential to school success. This is true regardless of the reason for an absence. When classes are missed, they cannot be made up in the same manner as when a student is present for class discussion. The school seeks the active cooperation of student and parent in striving for the highest possible level of attendance. School Board Policy, in accordance with Wisconsin state statutes on Compulsory School Attendance Law, requires regular school attendance, but allows legal excuses for 10 absences for personal illness a year. Every attempt should be made to schedule vacations and appointments outside of the school day.
