Single Referendum Question Proposed to Address Critical Needs & School Improvements

As previously communicated, there will be a single referendum question on the April 1, 2025 ballot addressing the most urgent space and critical capital improvement needs at the elementary school and the safety, aging building systems, and outdated, inefficient learning spaces at the high school.

In direct response to voter feedback, the revised facilities plan has been reduced to a not-to-exceed total project cost of $70 million. The School Board has eliminated the second question proposed in November 2024, which included building a new auxiliary gym, new multi-sport field, and new track for $21.5 million. They have also reduced the first question focused on elementary and high school improvements by more than $8 million by removing space for childcare and further prioritizing projects at both buildings.

The proposed $70 million project includes the highest-priority projects, focused on providing space at the Elementary School, investing in existing buildings, and improving learning environments.

For more information and to see the preliminary and conceptual site plans, check out this APRIL 2025 REFERENDUM FACT SHEET.

We also encourage you to stay up to date by visiting our website (which also includes the preliminary and conceptual site plans), following us on socials, AND attending an upcoming informational session.

In February, our safety drill focused on evacuation and relocation. This type of drill could be used for a water break, electrical issue, or another mechanical malfunction.  The drill consisted of the ES students walking over to the MS gym.  Students and staff did a great job practicing this drill!

We help students prepare for drills using this conversation slide deck. 

It was great to see so many families during our February 13th conferences. This was a good time for teachers and parents to check in on how their child is doing and also to learn how they can finish the year strong. 

We also had two amazing concerts on February 20th! 2nd and 4th graders demonstrated their musical talents on the High School stage under the direction of Mrs. Haines. So many families were in the audience representing SFES well! Bravo to all!

The inter-district public school Open Enrollment program allows parents to apply for their children to attend public school in a school district other than the one in which they reside or to remain in their current district in the event that they move out of the district before the start of the 2025-26 school year (Moving? See HERE for more information on remaining in the District through the school year). Open Enrollment will allow student(s) to continue attending school in the School District of Sheboygan Falls. Please call Lisa Berg at 920-467-7893 for additional information or check the Department of Public Instruction Website at: https://dpi.wi.gov/open-enrollment (also check the 2025-26 Open Enrollment Regular Application Period Brochure).

There is no tuition cost for students participating in the Open Enrollment program, but parents are responsible for transporting their student(s) to and from school.

The open enrollment period for the 2025-26 school year is from February 3rd until 4:00 p.m. on April 30th, 2025.   

Applications must be done on the DPI (Department of Public Instruction) website at https://dpi.wi.gov/open-enrollment. A link to this site will also be available on the school web site during the application period at: www.sheboyganfalls.k12.wi.us. The DPI website will be active from February 3rd until 4:00 p.m. on April 30th, 2025.  

If you anticipate a possible move out of the School District of Sheboygan Falls, please complete the Open Enrollment application as soon as possible. You have the right to cancel your application at any time and are not bound to enrollment. If you are currently attending under a Tuition Waiver, you will need to complete an Open Enrollment application for the upcoming school year.

As the weather starts to get warmer, we are reminded that spring allergy season is just around the corner.  Cold symptoms are often similar to allergy symptoms.  Below is a good reference to help determine whether symptoms are cold- or allergy-related which will assist in determining effective treatment.

Stay healthy!
