Can you believe it? We are in the home stretch of the 2020-2021 school year. What a year it has been filled with celebrations and challenges. We are so proud of our students for the resilience and flexibility that they have demonstrated each day!
Looking ahead, we are currently finishing up the Wisconsin Forward Exam. Most students have completed this assessment already, but we do have some students who need to complete various portions of the exam. In a couple of weeks, we move to our final iReady assessment of the school year. You should have received notification of this via Infinite Campus this week. Students complete this assessment in short periods of time. The assessment is different from the Wisconsin Forward Exam as it is tailored to each individual student and their personal skill level.
We look forward to finishing this school year strong! Please do not hesitate to contact your child’s cohort teacher regarding any questions you may have regarding the upcoming iReady assessment or any academic, social, and/or emotional concerns you may have.
Sincerely,
SFMS Principal

The 5th grade scientists are learning about ecosystems during the 4th quarter, and they are creating ecocolumns to guide them in their learning. The ecocolumns are aquariums and terrariums made from 2 liter plastic bottles. The aquariums hold fish, snails, and aquatic plants, while the terrariums hold crickets, pillbugs, and a variety of plants the students grow from seeds. The students observe their ecocolumns regularly to make sure they are maintaining a stable ecosystem.
The ecosystems unit provides an opportunity for the students to learn about the various types of relationships that can be found in ecosystems, as well as how energy is transferred from one source to another. Additionally, the students learn about the importance of keeping our ecosystems clean and healthy for all the living things and some of the causes of pollution in ecosystems. It is a fun, hands-on unit to finish out the school year!

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.
