We are so happy to be able to once again gather for our in-person meetings. Last year our PTO involvement was quite limited due to COVID-19 health guidelines, as we needed to move to virtual meetings.
All are welcome are encouraged to attend! A few items on our October 19 agenda include:
- PTO leadership roles- we will discuss the positions of Co-Presidents, Secretary, Treasurer, Volunteer Coordinator, and Social Media Liaison.
- We welcome new members to consider helping out in these roles. Nominations will be accepted at this. meeting and an election of leadership positions will be held at our November meeting.
We will also discuss special student activities including:
- Popcorn Day
- School Spirit Wear
- Scholastic Book Fair
- Teacher Meal for Parent-Teacher Conferences
- Family Directory
- Possibility for child care during our meetings
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Mrs. Halvorsen.

UPDATED WSD COVID-19 Protocols 2021-22
Good afternoon, Wausau School District Families:
As we move forward in the 2021-22 school year, we want to take this opportunity to share an update with you about some changes to the District’s COVID-19 mitigation strategies following Monday night’s Board of Education meeting.
The Board approved two matrices, one for elementary schools and one for secondary schools, that are guidelines for analyzing case data. They are real tools that allow administrators, school staff, and nurses to collaborate around data and context to find the best actions to keep your students in school, in-person safely, and provide them with the highest quality education at the same time.
While you’ll notice differences between the elementary and secondary school matrices, the goal is the same: keeping your students safe while offering them the highest quality educational experiences at the same time.
Below is the elementary level matrix.
