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.

Ryan Zak, SFMS Principal

Lindsey Schreurs, SFMS Associate Principal

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!
