Message from the Principals
|
|
Welcome to Winter, Falcon Families!
As we all enjoy the snow, we have increased opportunities to practice our social skills on the playground. Mrs. Bub and Mrs. Hyde are very involved in staff’s work of guiding social interactions and helping student’s practice problem-solving and life skills.
Let us know if you have questions about our practices, as working with the Principal was very different in the past. Principals are teachers, too! Thank you for your partnership in supporting the healthy growth and development of all students.

A Message from Our Nurses
|
|
|
With cough and cold season upon us, we’d like to review what are considered COVID symptoms and therefore require your child to stay home:
ONE of the following: cough, trouble breathing, or loss of taste/smell
OR
TWO of the following: congestion, sore throat, fever, headache, body aches, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, fatigue
We are asking that adults being tested for COVID to please have their children stay home, even if they are not showing symptoms, until test results are received.
Siblings of children being tested should also stay home.
If you are unsure if you or your child needs to be tested, PLEASE keep all household members home until you speak with a school nurse or your family physician.
Help us stay open, by keeping your sick child(ren) home.
Please work with a School Nurse who will help you determine what day it is safe for your child(ren) to return to school.
Amber Silva, BSN RN (920) 467-7820 x 5102

How Fast is Your Internet?
|
|
DPI is collaborating with Measurement Lab (M-Lab) to collect data on internet connection speeds across Wisconsin. DPI will use M-Lab’s internet speed test data to create detailed reports and to provide maps of internet speeds across the state. These reports can help the Governor’s Task Force on Broadband Access and other broadband task groups target initiatives to improve internet speeds and performance.
You can help add to this data by testing your internet connection speeds. The URL to link to is https://speed.measurementlab.net/#/. Please take the speed test SEVERAL TIMES–the more Wisconsin data there is the more accurate picture we have about internet connection speeds across the state.

In order to keep schools open for face to face learning, the District is seeking anyone with a teaching license or a bachelor’s degree to assist in filling open positions. Emergency licenses or permits may be granted to qualified applicants. You do not need a teaching license to substitute, as a bachelor’s degree qualifies you to be a substitute teacher.
