January marks the start of a new calendar year and also the halfway point of the school year.  There have been a lot of wonderful things that have taken place and we are proud of the students, staff, and families working together to grow academically, behaviorally, and socially at the Middle School. 

Similar to New Year resolutions, the second half of the year is a great time to set a goal for this new semester. Please take a moment to look over the progress that your child(ren) have made, and we challenge you to help set a goal for their academic performance.  As always please do not hesitate to reach out to our dedicated staff if you have any questions or concerns.

The Middle School conducted another fire drill this month. The students and staff practiced with different barriers in the way of the “normal” exits. Students and staff successfully completed the drill and reflected on the process.  

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 earlier 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:

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.

6th grade math students had hands-on experience working with production rates.  Students created snowflakes within a given time constraint and then had to figure out how their production rate would impact the amount to be produced within extended time frames.  

7th grade STEM students worked on their bridge models

as a part of their structural engineering unit.

MS pep band joined the HS during a recent boys basketball game! 

Makeup and Fashion Club had fun exploring new eye looks! 

MS Staff enjoyed ELF on the Shelf as the 2023 calendar year came to an end.

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. Middle school students are no longer required to eat their lunch in 15 minutes. They have the option to stay in the commons for the entire 30 minutes lunch break, so they have plenty of time to eat a healthy lunch.

Check in with your children to ensure they are eating a balanced diet. The following websites have helpful tips and activities regarding nutrition.

The Middle School continued our monthly safety drill by conducting a fire drill during the unseasonably warm December temperatures! The safety team will be coming together next month to review areas of improvement as we reach the halfway point of the school year.  

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.

Safety Update

The Middle School took advantage of the warm weather in the middle of November and completed a fire drill. Students have done a great job this year at following expectations and taking all of our drills seriously.

A lot has been happening through our School Counseling Programming during the months of October and November! Mrs. Renzelmann and Mrs. Lorge have been dropping into the classrooms to do their monthly School Counseling lessons with students. Academic Career Planning has kicked off full force for ALL students, and Social Emotional Learning has been highlighted throughout the past several months as well. Please click on the School Counseling News Link to learn more! 

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.

“Check out” library news HERE.

The Middle School celebrated Veteran’s Day by learning from Veterans from the Sheboygan Falls Community.  Students learned about the different branches of the service and the importance of serving the country.  

Lego League finished Runner-Up at their first meet of the year…

Off to sectionals! 

All students in PE were able to learn about and

practice different sports from across the world.

6th Grade math students working in the lab to find the perfect ratio. 

6th grade science students having fun in science class

working on their “magic” potions.

7th grade students in FCS made homemade macaroni and cheese … YUM!

8th Grade STEM students took a field trip to Ariens in Brillion.

Middle School staff learned about restorative practices and

the importance of relationships during professional development. 

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!

Cold and flu season is here once again. Here are a few friendly reminders of ways to stay healthy and protect yourself and others from getting sick.  

• If you and/or your child is sick, especially with a fever, stay home to avoid putting others at risk.  
• Remind kids to cover coughs and sneezes and avoid touching their eyes, nose and mouth. Germs spread easily this way.  
• Wash your hands often!  Washing with soap and water removes germs, including respiratory viruses, from your hands. Hand sanitizers are also effective for reducing the spread of illness.  
• If you or your family members have symptoms of COVID, you can obtain free test kits available at many pharmacies.  

Wishing you a safe and healthy holiday season!

The 2023-24 school year started with some new and exciting changes for the Sheboygan Falls Middle School Counseling Department! It is Mrs. Alyssa Renzelmann’s first full year in her new position as the Middle School 5th Grade School Counselor.

As we come to the end of the school year, it is a great time to pause and reflect upon all of the work that students, staff, and families have done together during this 2022-2023 academic school year. At the beginning of the school year, we had a school celebration, focusing on getting a little better each day. Seeing staff and families focus on relationships and reflection with students has been a highlight of our time in the office. The true power of reflection is focusing on moments of celebration and what worked well, so we can apply success strategies in the future as we work to improve and grow.

We wish everyone a safe and healthy summer and look forward to continued growth in the 2023-24 school year!

Hello MS Families,

The warm weather in the middle of the month was like an extended “April Fools”, a glimpse into the quickly approaching summer break. With that, we know that the Wisconsin weather is always changing and thus the reminder of everyone’s favorite topic – “dress code.” There will be a trial run for updated guidelines to our current dress code. Students will be presented with the information by the end of the week, and there will be communications shared between students, staff, and families so that we are all well informed as we finish the year strong. 

While summer is quickly approaching, we do have plenty of learning to take place as we finish the year at our best. Please reach out to our staff if you have any questions or concerns as we work together to finalize the academic year.  And, as always, if you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to reach out to the main office as well.

April is Severe Weather/Tornado Awareness Month.  SFMS conducted our drill on Friday, April 21st, in accordance with the statewide drill.  April is a good time to consider your severe weather plan at home and have a quick chat with your family, so everyone knows what to do.  For more information, check out this resource from Ready Wisconsin.

The fifth graders decided to go on vacation early this year….a READING vacation!

The 8th grade ELA students used picture books to develop criteria to evaluate the quality of text, making connections to other text, ideas, cultural perspectives,

identities, and eras.

The sixth grade reading students have been sailing through The Odyssey, an adaptation of Homer’s epic by modern author Gillian Cross. For extra fun, they brought some STEM into their reading class by challenging the students’ engineering skills to build a boat capable of withstanding the whirlpool.

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!
