7 Days Until Election Day - November 3rd Facilities Referendum

One component of the 2026 Facilities Referendum is a proposed expansion of the northeast side of the High School that would include new science classrooms and labs, CTE food/culinary space, a STEM lab (science, technology, engineering and math), and the library.
But before we look ahead, let’s take a look back at our High School Classrooms!

THEN
This 1970 yearbook photo captures the science classroom decades ago, complete with chalkboards, lab stations, and the original shower station.

NOW
Fast forward to today, and the classroom may look a little different, but some things are surprisingly the same. The chalkboards have been replaced with whiteboards, while the shower station and overall classroom layout remain the same.

There’s more to a school than what you see every day!

Our Facilities Manager, Dave, takes us behind the scenes to highlight the facility needs you can’t see at both the Elementary and High School. From the systems that keep our buildings running to the ongoing maintenance that keeps them safe, comfortable, and ready for learning, there’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes!

Mr. Zak, Mrs. Schreurs, Mrs. Miles, Mrs. Lorge and Mrs. Renzelmann were invited to present at the National PBIS Leadership Forum in Chicago. The team shared the success that SFMS has experiencing implementing ISLA (Inclusive Skill Building Learning Approach). It was an honor to be selected by the National ISLA team out of the University of Oregon for this opportunity.

7th and 8th grade Spanish students have been participating in Wooly Week, a week of activities and games helping us learn new vocabulary and phrases to help us understand a new Spanish video! As we complete activities, we get entered into raffles to earn swag for our classroom!

Grade 6 math students engaged in measurement stations today to physically see the relationship between units. The stations helped them to understand whether it takes more or less of a different unit to measure the same quantity.

How will the November 3rd Facilities Referendum impact your taxes?

If approved by voters, the proposed $65.7 million facilities referendum is estimated to have a maximum tax impact of $16 per $100,000 of property value on the debt levy.

By paying down loans from the 2016 Middle School referendum early, the Board saved nearly $5 million in interest and eliminated eight years of payments. This proactive planning helps invest in our elementary and high schools while minimizing the tax impact on residents.
