Blankets for Comfort
Sheboygan Falls Middle School students to gave back to our community by making blankets to honor Carter, Ben and Natalie’s memory. The blankets made, were donated and given to children who are at Children’s Hospital and family members staying at the Ronald McDonald House. Mrs. Woodworth and Mrs. Miles opened up the FCE Room during Peaceful Start to provide students the opportunity to work on the blankets.
Families Join for Title 1 Event
On Tuesday, December 10th, families joined their children during their check-in to learn more about how teachers provide supports for all students. Students demonstrated to their parents how to they use Canvas, our learning management platform, in their classes. Teachers gave families a taste of what check-in looks like every morning for their children.
Thank you to those families who were able to join us for this first-time event.

Notice to parents who are moving out of the district
If you are anticipating a move or moving out of the Sheboygan Falls District during the current school year, your student can continue attending school in Sheboygan Falls. Please contact your building office, or the district office, to receive DPI Form PI-9419-B – Request for Tuition Waiver Due to Move, for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year. Completion of this form will enable your child to continue attending school in the Sheboygan Falls District even though you no longer live within the District boundaries for the remainder of this school year. An open enrollment application or alternate open enrollment application will then need to be completed for the 2020-2021 school year and beyond. Please call Julie Hahn at 467-7893 if you have any questions regarding tuition waivers or open enrollment.
From the Nurses
As we go into winter break, the school nurses want to share that we expect the flu season to really start to roll-in when we return in January. For those of you who like data, take a peek at the most recent WI flu data:
Please talk to you children about good handwashing and covering your coughs to prevent the spread of flu. If you haven’t gotten your flu shots, over break would be a great time!!

Students and families are encouraged to attend as in the near future, students will be choosing the courses that they want to take during their ninth grade year. If you have any question about the scheduling process for incoming ninth grade, please contact Mr. Uselding, our School Counselor.
