A Message from the Principals
Spring is officially here with the end of the 3rd quarter fast approaching (this Friday!) and Spring Break next week. The 3rd quarter marks a great time to reflect on the growth that our students and staff have made together. It’s also a reminder that there’s still a lot of teaching and learning yet to take place.
If you were not able to come to conferences this month, please take a moment to check your student’s progress on Infinite Campus. As always, please reach out to our staff if you have any questions or concerns.
We wish everyone a safe and healthy Spring Break!

State Forward Exam
As a reminder, we are in state assessment “season” across the state of Wisconsin. Similar to prior years, the Middle School is running modified schedules to accommodate for the different tests. The students will be provided a light breakfast as they enter the building before taking the assessments in the morning. We appreciate your help and cooperation in getting the students headphones and reiterating the importance of the exams. Thank you!
For informational purposes, you can find Forward Exam FAQ’s from the state HERE.

The School District of Sheboygan Falls will start following the same guidelines for COVID-19 as we do for influenza and other viruses. Individuals who test positive for COVID-19 should stay home until they are fever free for 24 hours without taking fever reducing medications.
