Dear SFHS Falcon Families,

What a fantastic start to the 2025-26 school year at Sheboygan Falls High School! The staff, both returning and new, are bringing a fresh perspective and innovative ideas to the classrooms.

Students have been adjusting well to the new schedule and the number of behavior referrals has been reduced significantly. The hallways are clean and students are treating staff and each other with respect. Everyone should be commended for creating a positive atmosphere for learning.

The energy and dedication of students have been inspiring. Preparations for the musical Sister Act are well underway, with rehearsals in full swing. The marching band has been hard at work and the fall sports teams are off to a strong start. The Robotics team is also gearing up for their preseason. Our students are a great source of community pride. Visit the Events page on our website and plan to attend an event and see for yourself the wonderful things our students are doing.

Get ready, because it is Homecoming Week! The festivities run from Monday, September 22nd, to Friday, September 26th, with the pep rally scheduled for Thursday, September 25th. The Hollywood-themed dance will be held on Saturday, September 27th, from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM.

Parent/Teacher Conferences are scheduled for Monday, October 6th, from 4:00 - 8:00 p.m. Please REGISTER HERE to meet with teachers. We look forward to seeing everyone on October 6th!

The continued support is greatly appreciated as efforts are made to improve the learning environment, opportunities, and outcomes for students.

Go Falcons!

In September, High School students participated in an ALICE drill on Thursday, September 18th.

Sleep is so important for your child’s development.  Not getting enough sleep can have a negative impact on a child’s performance at school and their mental health. It can also be associated with obesity.  The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children between 6 and 13 years old get 9-11 hours of sleep a night. Teens aged 14-17 years should aim for 8-10 hours per night.  

Studies show that the quality and the consistency of an adolescent’s sleep is just as important to their overall health as the amount. Using a screen can affect the quality of your child’s sleep by making them more alert and raising their heart rate, especially if your child is playing an action-packed video game or watching something intense. This can make it harder for them to fall asleep. The type of light given off by screens can also disrupt the production of a sleep hormone called melatonin.

Here are some tips to help your child get a good night’s sleep:

• Avoid using screens one hour before bed. 

• Keep to a consistent bedtime schedule and routine, and don’t let digital media or phones interfere with this time. 

• Make evening screen time a family activity (ideally ending at least an hour before bedtime). Choose relaxing or funny programs to watch together instead of action-packed video games and movies that can raise your child’s heart rate and make it harder for them to fall asleep. 

Stay healthy,

Deanna Timler, RN, BSN
