SFMS Messenger – May 26, 2021

 
May 26, 2021
Dear SFMS Families,
 
As our school year comes to an end, I want to take a moment to thank all of you for your support of our SFMS students and staff this year. We were presented with many challenges, but through it all, we have much to celebrate! We are thankful that we could be at school together to help our students learn and grow.
 
We look forward to next school year with optimism and hope. The SFMS team is already preparing for the 2021-2020 school year. In the meantime, we hope that our students and families have a restful summer full of outside activities, reading, and relaxation time. 
 
Thank you again for your partnership. Best wishes to our eighth graders as they had over to SFHS to start their high school journey! We know they will accomplish great things!
 
Sincerely,
Amanda Pound and the SFMS Team
SFMS Principal
Updates from Superintendent Bennin
Parent Survey 
Please take a few minutes to complete this brief survey regarding the 2020-2021 school year. Your feedback is important to us as it will assist in planning to support students and families next school year. Please complete one survey per child as we understand that your feedback may vary between teachers, grade levels, and schools. Note that your responses will be anonymous unless you include your name for follow-up assistance.
 
On-Line Registration
Similar to last summer, we will continue to use On-Line Registration (OLR) through our student software program Infinite Campus for our 2021-2022 school year registration process. This will allow you to complete the registration process entirely online. School photos will be taken during the first few weeks of school. 
 
A reminder will be sent in early July, as the On-Line Registration process will open on July 8 and can be accessed at the school district website at www.sheboyganfalls.k12.wi.us/register. Follow the registration link to access your Infinite Campus Parent Portal account using your login and password. If you do not have a parent portal user account set up, please contact any of the three school offices via email for assistance ASAP.  
 
Important information about continued free lunches and free/reduced lunch applications can be found HERE.
Return of Hotspots
If your student was issued one of the District’s T-Mobile hotspots, it will need to be returned before the last day of school. If the District does not receive the hotspot, a $95 fee will be assigned in Infinite Campus.
 
Please return the hotspot to any of the school’s main offices before the last day of school. Thank you!
Plan for Free Summer Meals
Meals for All SFSD Families – Meals that meet the USDA requirements and are similar to meals served in school will be available for students. The meals must be pre-ordered using a Google Form link. The District has received a waiver from the USDA and the meals will be provided without charge to families.  
 
If you are interested in ordering free meals for the month of June 2021 please use this link to sign up. This order form is due by NOON on Thursday, June 3.
 
PLEASE NOTE: If your child is attending Summer School in June, they will be receiving a breakfast and a lunch daily. If you have other children that are not in summer school you will need to complete the form for them.

SFMS Musical
It’s here! Kick back, relax, and enjoy the show with some delicious popcorn and cupcakes. Feel free to share the link with family, friends, and on social media. There is a donation link on the school website link for anyone who would like to contribute to the drama department to keep the musicals going. Attached is a PDF of the program. Feel free to share this with friends and family but please do not post the program on social media as it contains first and last names.
 
 
 
 
We’re so incredibly proud of these students and so thankful that they took a leap of faith and were willing to be a part of a virtual musical not knowing what it would be like. The end result is something quite amazing and goes to show that there can be silver linings even in a pandemic. Thank you to the students for all your hard work and thank you families for your support. 
 
Tips on watching the musical on your TV:
Option 1: Connect your computer to your TV using an HDMI cable. 
Option 2: If you have a smart TV and a Youtube account, watch this video on how to set it up.
 
Thanks and enjoy the show!

Additional Human Growth & Development
Advisory Committee Meeting Planned for June 9
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.
 
Community and staff members are invited to the advisory meeting on June 9, 2021, from 5:30 to 6:30 pm in the library at Sheboygan Falls High School.
 
Community and staff members interested in participating should contact Director of Instruction Mary Lofy Blahnik at District Office 920-467-7893 or email [email protected] .
