Principal's Update: June
Hello Rawson Community!
*The June principal’s update comes from Emily and Gloria, 5th grade all-stars at Rawson! Emily was a PTO raffle winner at the last Rawson Dance. Her prize was to be the principal for a day. Emily chose Gloria to be her vice principal. They did an awesome job running the school! One of their tasks was to write this principal’s update for the June edition of WolfTracks. Here it is!...
Hi Rawson,
Emily and Gloria here! It’s been a great school year. One of the things that we’ve really enjoyed this year were the school dances. Our favorite was the GLOW DANCE. Also, before the end of the year we have a SPIRIT DAY planned. See below for more information about what to wear.
We also have a really exciting announcement...
Each class voted on the name for our new mascot. As principals, we get to reveal the winning name. Our new Rawson mascot will be named…WOLFGANG!!
We’re excited about our summer and going to 6th grade next year. Emily is most excited about swimming and Gloria is most excited about camping. Thinking about the middle school, Emily is most excited about gym and Gloria is most excited about having multiple teachers
We will miss everyone at Rawson and have enjoyed our time here. We hope everyone has a great summer!
Emily and Gloria

Speak Up, Speak Out Wisconsin
The School District of South Milwaukee partners with SPEAK UP, SPEAK OUT (SUSO) hosted by The Wisconsin Department of Justice. SUSO is a comprehensive, one-stop place to turn to with your concerns regarding school safety. A facet of the Resource Center that we are particularly pleased to share with Wisconsin students and parents is the threat reporting system. The SUSO threat reporting system is available 24/7 and is free to all. Students can submit a school safety concern by accessing the app on their Chromebook or by visiting speakup.widoj.gov. Resource Center staff work around-the-clock to respond to reports and to deploy a response locally by communicating directly with school administrators, law enforcement and counselors.
