Kindergarten Registrations
Volunteer Corner
If you left a comment on last school year’s volunteer survey, be watching this spot in upcoming newsletters. I will be commenting and/or answering some comments that might be of interest to all.
As always…any volunteer questions can be directed to me, Roxane Hagedorn. I’m happy to help!
Some comments regarding field trips…
- If the class is going on a field trip or has a schedule change the day I volunteer, I would like them to let me know. I have been frustrated to get there and find the classroom dark and locked.
- Occasionally it's not real clear on where to meet for field trips (classroom, school entrance, by bus, etc.)
Answer!
We are going to make a better effort at this. We are human and sometimes forget but we are going to try and make things clearer and value your time.
If you are ever unsure, don’t be afraid to ask the classroom teacher. They value your volunteerism.
Read-a-thon Results!!
Exclusion From School
Students may be excluded from school for communicable disease control for the following conditions:
Undiagnosed or untreated skin rash or sores that cannot be covered
Fever (temperature 100.5ºF or greater or if behaviors such as excessive sleepiness or coughing which might be interfering with the student’s learning.) Child must be fever-free without fever medicine for 24 hours before returning to school
Vomiting two or more times in the previous 24 hours. Exclusion will continue until vomiting resolves or a health care provider determines the cause is not contagious.
Diarrhea three times in the previous 24 hours or child is incontinent (has an “accident”)
Upper respiratory illness with frequent cough/drainage
“Pinkeye” (conjunctivitis) if accompanied by fever, behavioral change or inability to avoid touching eyes. (Antibiotics not required for return.)
Strep throat (until 24 hours after treatment has begun, or health practitioner approval.)
Students whose immunization status is not in compliance with the Wisconsin immunization law
Students with known suppressed immunity may be excluded, for their protection, when cases of communicable disease (i.e., measles, chickenpox) occur in school
When a student with symptoms of a communicable disease reports to the health area, the principal, school nurse, or staff designated by principal or school nurse may exclude the student until they no longer are infectious or pose a risk to others, or per physician’s written instructions.
See WSD Health Care Policy and Procedure 6-2 Exclusion from School
4K Registration for the 20-21 School Year
Registration is now open for the District's Four-Year-Old Kindergarten Program for the 2020-2021 school year. Our District is proud of our 4K Learning Academies located at G.D. Jones, Hawthorn Hills, Riverview, and Thomas Jefferson elementary schools. Our 4K research-based learning model focuses on collaboration and provides a solid foundation for children to reach their full potential. Whether children are enrolled in one of the District's 4K Learning Academies or one of our collaborative community outreach sites - children and their families will be warmly welcomed and come to know and love the 4K program mascot, Tucker Turtle!
Click here to begin the 4K registration process. Please know the District is accepting open enrollment registrations for our 4K program. If you have any questions, please contact Sarah Fisher at 715-261-0265.
Raptor Visitor Management System
The Raptor Visitor Management System has been up and running since January 2, 2020. The new process has been going very smoothly.
Upon entering a District school, visitors will be asked to present a valid state-issued ID. No other data from the ID is gathered or recorded. The system is not connected to any other database and information is not shared with any outside agency.
Once the visitor’s entry is approved, a badge will be issued that identifies the name of the visitor, the date and time, and the purpose of the visit. Children who do not have a valid ID may be allowed to visit as long as they are accompanied by an adult who has completed the check-in process and has been issued a badge. Regular volunteers and all contractors or subcontractors will be subject to the same procedure as visitors at all times. If the visitor’s identity cannot be verified through an acceptable form of identification, the visitor will not be allowed to proceed past the office area. The Raptor system does not replace our current volunteer process.
A visitor’s badge will not be necessary for those who visit our schools to simply pick up or drop off an item in the office. A badge is also not necessary for those who are picking up their child from the office as long as they are not going into the school building.
The Raptor Visitor Management System and process will only be used during school hours. Attendees at after-hours events such as performances, ceremonies, or academic/athletic competitions will not be required to complete the process.
Thank you for your cooperation in supporting our strengthened safety and security protocols in the Wausau School District.
