Parents of Sheboygan Falls Middle School
As you come to school at the end of the day to pick up your children or
come to after school events remember we have neighbors. I have been
receiving many complaints from our neighbors about cars blocking their
driveways. This is happening after school at pick up and also during
events at school after school hours. Please remember to be at least* four
feet* away from a driveway if you park or if you’re waiting for your
child. If they continue to call about cars blocking their driveways then
enforcement action will be the next step.* PLEASE* be considerate to the
community members who live by the school.
Students, Staff, and Parents – Please remember the SDSF has a Wellness
Policy that reminds us to consider healthier options for birthday and/or
class treats as a way to promote healthy habits. If you need ideas for
these treats our school district website/food service/healthy snack
celebrations has great resources available. ~Thank you, Ms. Markofski
For anyone interested in joining Makerspace Club please attend one of the
informational meetings in Ms. Galica’s room (301) after school on
either Monday,
March 14 or Thursday, March 17. If you cannot attend either meeting,
please see Ms. Galica or Ms. Widish for information.
If you still want to order a yearbook, you may do that but you can only buy
the yearbook for $27. You *can not* add any icons or personalization
because those orders needed to be in at the end of February. If you have

The next yearbook meeting is today Monday, March 14th from 3:15-4:00 in

*From The Nurse:*
The World Health Organization has labeled tanning beds as a high-level
cancer causing agent. This puts them on par with tobacco use as a public
health threat. The W.H.O. found that people who used tanning beds before
the age of 30 were 75% more likely to develop melanoma – the deadliest form
of skin cancer. To look tanned at prom choose a self-tanner over visiting
a tanning booth!
