New: Bridge Room Now Available For Students at Hawthorn Hills Elementary
We are so fortunate to have been able to add a BRIDGE Room to Hawthorn Hills Elementary through the April 2021 Referendum funds.
BRIDGE Stands for:
Breathe
Reflect
Internalize
De-escalate
Grow
Exit
The Bridge Room is a physical space where learners can refresh, reflect, and reset in order to be able to return to their classroom ready to actively participate in their learning. It is meant to be a short-term alternative environment for a child who is not ready to learn, but is not exhibiting dangerous behaviors. All Hawthorn Hills Elementary students can access the Bridge Room when they need to through their teacher.
Mrs. Vanea Marten, who has been a paraprofessional for many years at John Marshall is our new Bridge Room Coordinator. Mrs. Marten will be giving students breaks, helping them reflect on challenges, and assisting them to be ready to return to their classrooms ready to learn.
If you have any questions about the Bridge Room, please feel free to reach out to Mrs. Maroszek for more information.

Covid 19 Protocols
Below are the Wausau School District's COVID-19 protocols as we begin the 2021-22 school year. Please know that guidelines and protocols can change at any time and without notice. If that happens, we will be sure to notify you as soon as possible.
Masks and Face Coverings
As of June 8, 2021, the policy in the Wausau School District states that masks and face coverings are optional in all district buildings.
Social Distancing
All students will be offered an in-person spot at their home school. Social distancing will not be followed in most situations.
Cohorting
Students will not be cohorted during the 2021-2022 school year.
Sick Students, Staff, and Visitors
Students, staff, and visitors who have symptoms of infectious illness, such as influenza or COVID-19, should stay home and be referred to their healthcare provider for testing and care.
Attendance
All students will attend their home school in-person. Those students who wish to remain virtual will need to enroll at WAVE.
When quarantined, students are expected to continue learning by completing lessons and classroom work. Teachers will continue to make daily lessons and classroom work available through Itslearning or Seesaw and will be available for support.
Quarantining
Those who test positive for COVID-19 are required to isolate. Marathon County Health Department will contact all positive cases.
Marathon County Health Department will also implement all quarantines.
Contact Tracing
Marathon County Health Department will conduct all contact tracing.
School nurses will make the Marathon County Health Department aware if they are notified of a positive COVID-19 case.
Cleaning and Disinfecting
Per CDC guidelines, cleaning once a day is sufficient to remove potential viruses that may be on surfaces. Disinfecting kills any remaining germs on surfaces.
Cleaning will be completed once a day by custodial staff.
If there’s a positive case of COVID, and the case is known within 24 hours, the space will be cleaned AND disinfected by custodial staff.
Filtration
MERV-13 filtration will be used throughout the district to balance energy use and air quality.
Hand Washing and Hand Sanitizer
Hand sanitizer will be available in every classroom and at the main entrance of each building.
Hand washing with soap and water for 20 seconds will be encouraged at all levels. Elementary students will have a hand washing schedule.
Classroom Materials
Classroom materials can be shared. Students will wash hands or use hand sanitizer after using shared materials.
