There is a significant increase in upper respiratory illnesses in Wisconsin. Fortunately, it is more flu- related than COVID, and the flu vaccine has shown to be effective. However, we would still like to share resources to lower the spread of COVID by ensuring people are getting tested.

Wisconsinites can order free at home rapid COVID-19 tests and have them delivered directly to their home. All Wisconsin households are eligible to place an order every month on the Say Yes! COVID Test website for one free test kit that contains five rapid antigen COVID-19 tests. Households can place an order for test kits starting the 1st of every month, including households that have already received an initial order of test kits since the launch of this program in September.

Fruzen yearbooks are now on sale! Order yours before February 28, 2023!

This is a letter from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services that we have been asked to share with our families.

Starting September 13th, the School District will expand our partnership with Beloit Community Health Systems (CHS) to provide onsite health care to students. Families should call (608) 361-0311 to set up an appointment at the High School. If they are established patients, they can schedule through their link. Parents/guardians need not be present for the appointment of a High Schooler as long as consents are signed when setting up the appointment. Intermediate and Elementary students will need to have a parent/guardian with them at any scheduled appointment. CHS will be onsite Tuesdays from 1-4pm and Thursdays from 8:00-12pm.

WINTER is finally here!! Please make sure your child brings a coat to school each day. ALL GRADES go outside for lunch recess everyday as long as it is not raining or excessively cold (10 degrees or less).

If you need a coat for your student, please let their advisory/homeroom teacher know.

Are you interested in becoming a volunteer in our school? This would include chaperoning field trips, coaching, working with students, etc. If so, please click the link below to begin the process!
