Principal's Note
Hi Families:
I know that today was exceptionally cold and it greatly affected our attendance numbers. Good news and Bad news here...
- Bad News - this frigid cold is going to stick around a bit longer than we want it to- possibly for the next two weeks
- Good News - we still have school and we want your children in attendance so that the learning can continue in our warm building.
I'm asking everyone to remember winters don't last forever. We need to power through this cold together and get all students to school everyday.
We are here to be your partner in education and we are honored to work with YOU and your children everyday!

Family Math Help Site!
The School District of Waukesha is committed to working to improve math instruction for students. We strive to create future mathematicians who are creative problem solvers, persevere in new situations, and collaborate with peers.
To help with this, the district's math instructional team has created a Family Math Help Site to support families and give them a glimpse into their child's mathematics experience in the SDW. The site provides resources such as:
Basic Fact Strategies
Computational Fluency Strategies
Vocabulary Words
iPad Friendly Sites
Family Letters for each Unit
Learning Math Facts at Home
The SDW Math Continuum
A detailed description of The Math Workshop
7 ways you can help your child at home
Check it out and let us know if you have any questions!
Monthly Characteristic!
The picture shows a book all of our classrooms will be reading sometime this month! This book is about accepting yourself and others just the way they (and you) are!
You can support at home by talking about differences and similarities in the family - likes and dislikes - what things do you have in common with each other and what things are different?
Birthday Treats
If you are planning to send a birthday treat with your son or daughter, please consider this as we will be unable to serve anything that is not packaged by a store and individually wrapped. Please ask if you have questions or concerns.
