SUMMIT VIRTUAL TALENT SHOW ENTRIES DUE APRIL 28
THE SUMMIT TALENT SHOW IS BACK!
It's time again for The Summit Elementary Virtual Talent Show!
This is a great opportunity to show your friends, teachers and classmates your unique alent!
Here is how it works:
1. Think of your special talent. You could sing, dance, do a sport, show a magic trick, etc.
2. Practice, practice, practice your talent until you feel like you are ready to record it.
3. At the beginning of the recording, TELL US YOUR FIRST NAME. Then show us the talent. Be sure your video lasts no more than 3 minutes. It can even be as short as 5 seconds!
4. Email the video to SummitTalent2021@gmail.com
5. The last day to submit your video is April 28, 2021.
Once we receive all the videos, we will upload the videos into a YouTube Channel playlist! (The channel will only be accessible to those with the link and it will not be made public so someone could search for it.)
Looking for ideas? Check out last year's Talent Show!

PARENT INPUT FOR CLASS PLACEMENT FOR 2021-2022
One of the tasks that spring brings to a school setting is to begin to formulate class lists for next year.
The process of assigning children to classes is not an easy one. The Oconomowoc Area School District’s objective is to place each child in a learning environment which will stimulate him/her to the greatest extent possible. A second goal is to maintain a balance in our classes—a balance in each of the following areas:
- Total class size
- Overall abilities/ talents in the group
- Ratio of boys/girls
- Special needs areas
- Behaviors
- Personalities of the individuals within the class
I will be working closely with staff to determine next year’s class placements. Parental input into the grouping process is important and should be taken into consideration as one factor in the establishing of a homeroom grouping. If you believe that your son or daughter has needs or circumstances that require consideration as our staff determines homerooms, we would like to be made aware of that information. Please remember this input will in no way guarantee a specific outcome. I would ask that parents refrain from requesting an individual teacher, and instead focus on the unique needs of your child.
In the past, parental input has been submitted through a paper form turned in to the office. Since this method would be difficult at this current time, we will be utilizing a Google Survey instead.
Parental input is due no later than Wednesday, May 5, 2021. Please give your input through the Parental Input Google Form by answering each question. You will need to explain the special needs of your child you would like to have considered as placement decisions are made.

QUICK REMINDERS FOR END OF THE DAY PICK UP
- If you are parking and meeting your child, obviously your meeting places are now covered with snow:)! Feel free to wait on the blacktop area near the location of your classroom sign in the back playground. We ask you to please help make a path for classes to pass through. If you were meeting in the front of the school, please try to stick to the side of the sidewalk so that our classes have room to pass by. Thank you!
- If you are picking up your child in the pick up line in the front of the school, we ask you to remember to make sure your sign showing your child's last name is visible for our staff to easily see. If you need a sign, please contact the front office at 262-560-8300. Also, please try to pull forward and close the gap as much as possible between cars in line. There are many times our line stretches all the way back onto Valley Road. Thank you!
IF YOUR CHILD IS SICK, THESE ILLNESS GUIDELINES CAN HELP YOU DECIDE WHAT TO DO NEXT
We strongly encourage you to monitor your child’s health continually. It’s important to be mindful of any illness symptoms that your child may have before sending them to school. Please keep your child home if they are ill.
- If you need help understanding when your child should return to school or how to contact the school attendance line, please visit the Absence Reporting Information page
- Both pages have detailed illness guidelines and a video from OASD Health Services Director, Mrs. Deal.

WILL YOU BE A SUBSTITUTE TEACHER OR PARAPROFESSIONAL FOR US THIS YEAR?
In order to make our school reopening plans work, we know that we are going to need an ample supply of substitutes this year. Even if you can only be available to work one day per week or one day every other week, we will most likely need you. To become a teacher substitute, you need an Associate or College degree, take a class, and then apply to the Department of Public Instruction for your substitute license. To become a paraprofessional substitute, you need to have at least a high school diploma.
Thank you for considering.
