“Sheboygan Welcomes Students, Teachers, and Families for 2025”

With the first day of school after Labor Day quickly approaching, Sheboygan families are making their final preparations for the year ahead. The transition from summer freedom to school routines can feel overwhelming, but a few simple steps can make it easier for students across our community. One of the best ways to prepare is by gradually adjusting sleep schedules. Getting children back into an earlier bedtime routine before the first day helps them feel rested and ready to learn. Parents can also spend a little time talking with their kids about what to expect, easing first-day jitters while building confidence.

Organization is another key to a smooth start. Many Sheboygan parents are setting up homework stations at home with sharpened pencils, notebooks, and supplies at the ready. Laying out clothes and packing backpacks the night before can save valuable time during busy mornings. For middle and high school students, using planners or digital calendars is a great way to stay on top of assignments, sports practices, and after-school clubs offered in our local schools.

Finally, communication is essential. Families should review bus schedules, drop-off procedures, and school calendars from the Sheboygan Area School District and surrounding districts ahead of time. Talking with children about setting goals for the year—whether it’s improving grades, making new friends, or joining a club—helps build motivation. As Sheboygan students step into their classrooms next week, being prepared will not only ease the transition but also set the tone for a successful school year filled with growth and opportunity.

Christine Plocar - Lifelong Sheboygan Resident & Community Advocate
My name is Christine Plocar, and I am proud to be a lifelong resident of Sheboygan. Growing up on farms in the area, I spent my early years helping my parents raise chickens and horses, and I loved planting gardens that blossomed with each season. Even now, I continue this tradition by raising chickens.

Education has always been important to me. I attended Fairview Elementary in Plymouth, followed by Farnsworth Middle School, and completed my high school education at both North and South High schools in Sheboygan. After the loss of my mother, I returned to school and, in a moment of pride, graduated with my daughter in 2014, earning honors despite the challenges we faced.

My entrepreneurial spirit has been a constant throughout my life. When I got my first computer, I knew that data entry and e-commerce were paths I wanted to explore. The summer of 2022 was a turning point for me when I met Brian Bateman. He saw my potential and gave me the opportunity to learn data entry and website management. Today, I play an active role in managing Sheboygan Life, where I write articles that highlight the positive aspects of our community and work to promote the good in our beloved city.
