Student Services Support
As a school community we are certainly living in unprecedented times. Changes and unknown factors on the horizon can be an anxiety inducing experience for students and families. For some, it might be difficult to navigate these feelings on their own. OASD Student Services Staff are available as a resource to support students who may be struggling with anxiety or other mental health concerns. The counselors, school social workers, and school psychologist can provide individual support for students and families. Please reach out to the student services staff at your building if your child is struggling or if you need support in navigating these unique times.
- School Counselor- Jodie Jens jensj@oasd.org 560-8341
- School Psychologist- Tina Behrens behrens@oasd.org 560-8208
- School Social Worker-Erin Lee leee@oasd.org 560-8234

COVID-19 Symptoms
The following symptoms could indicate a COVID-19 infection. Students displaying any of the following symptoms that are new or not normal for your child this time of year, and not attributed to a health condition will NOT be allowed in school. Your student is considered symptomatic if they have one of the symptoms marked with a (*) or two of the other symptoms above baseline for them:
- Cough*
- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing*
- New loss of taste or smell*
- Congestion or runny nose
- Fever (100.4 or greater) or chills
- Nausea or vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Muscle or body aches
- Sore throat
Not everyone with COVID-19 displays all of these symptoms. For many, symptoms are mild, with no fever. It is important to know that you can still transmit the virus to others even if you have mild symptoms or no symptoms at all. Additionally, if your child has a fever, diarrhea, OR vomiting ALONE, you should keep your child home for at least 24 hours or until symptoms are resolved. If allergies are something that your child displays this time of year and it isn't listed as one of their Health Conditions, please call the Health Room at 560-8403, so they may add "seasonal allergies" to your child's health record.
When calling the Attendance Line (56-8403) to report your child's illness, you must include all symptoms they are experiencing.
Lanyards and other Spiritwear to Purchase Coming Soon!
Interested in another Ixonia Elementary Lanyard? Did your student lose his/her lanyard? Or does Mom or Dad, or Grandma and Grandpa want one? You can purchase one for only $2! Please send an envelope to school with $2 cash inside and our wonderful secretary Christy will return the envelope with a lanyard inside. It's that easy!
We are also creating an online Ixonia Elementary Spirit Wear store if any families are interested in purchasing sweatshirts, t-shirts, hats, etc. to show your Ixonia Pride and support your PTO. We create an online store and then send you the link. Items are ordered through the website and then shipped to the school and your student will bring your items home in their backpack. Stay tuned on Facebook for more information! And if you haven't liked our Facebook page yet, please click below and follow Ixonia PTO!! Thank you!
