A Video Message From Ms. Markofski
Innovation at the Middle School

As a new school year begins we focus on the School District of Sheboygan Falls Mission, Vision and Commitments to provide for the needs of every student.
One of our commitments is to be innovative, with that in mind please click below to watch a video message created using our makerspace green screen room.

Welcome to Infinite Campus
Infinite Campus is our new Student Information System used to allow parents access to student grades and schedules. It is also used to alert parents with general announcements and emergency announcements such as snow days or school crises.
We are asking that if you have not set up your Parent Portal and checked your contact preferences, please do so using the URL link that was sent to your e-mail on Monday, September 14th.  If you did not receive the e-mail with the link, please contact the school office and they will assist you in setting up this account.  If you have already set up your parent portal account, you do not need to do anything else at this point.

Welcome Back!!!!
