Proud to Be Your Principal
We've just finished our first FULL week of the school year! What a difference a couple of weeks makes! This week, students in preK through 4th grade visited with drivers from Lakeland Bus Co. to talk about bus safety and etiquette. Our newly-implemented drop-off and pick-up procedures and working well, and safety has definitely been increased for our students, staff, and visitors.
Our students are fully engaged in learning, extra-curricular activities are up and running, and we are looking ahead to all that will happen at our schools this fall!
Proud to be your principal,
Brent Johnson

New Teacher Spotlight!
Ms. Maya Woods is our new Minocqua J1 Band teacher, and comes to us from Sturgeon Bay, WI (Door County) after studying at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. Although she plays the oboe, her real passion is teaching students, especially in the middle school band room! She is most excited about working with students and helping them grow as musicians and individuals through the music we learn in class. Aside from teaching music, she loves to be outdoors or baking in her kitchen. Click the video below and hear from Ms. Woods herself!
