Learning Opportunities

Our staff is dedicated to maintaining contact with students throughout this disruption to our school year. We know that relationships are incredibly important. Our staff will be checking in with students during this time.

We want to provide opportunities for students to learn during the two weeks we are closed. While these activities will not be mandatory for completion, teachers will provide two weeks of learning opportunities for students. Elementary students will be provided physical resources to take home that amount to approximately 1-2 hours of learning activities daily. All third through fifth grade students will also take iPads home during this time. Middle and high school students will be provided electronic resources amounting to approximately 3-4 hours of learning activities daily. Teachers will have necessary materials ready for students to take home with them or access digitally. If you did not receive instructional materials from your teacher, you may call the district office at 608-582-4657 to arrange for pick up.

Timeline

Governor Evers initially directed the school closure to start March 18 and run through April 5. The Governor has now closed school buildings for the rest of the 2019-2020 school year. We are currently under a "Safer at Home" order which suspends all but essential business that lasts until May 26th. We will provide updates as we learn more.
