REPORT CARD INFORMATION
On Friday, December 10th, Trimester 1 Report Cards will be distributed for your child via email. Within the message will be a secure link to a pdf download of the Trimester 1 Report Card. There are a few steps you can take in preparation for the release of these report cards, in order to make the process a smooth one for you.
First, to access the report, you will need to click on the secure link within the body of the email. When you click on the link, you will be prompted to enter a password. The password is your child’s student number. This number can be found by logging into your PowerSchool Parent Access account. Once logged into PowerSchool, it is the 6 digit number at the top center portion of the screen. It will begin with a 5. If you are unable to locate this number, please contact the building secretary at your child’s school.

ATTENDANCE REMINDER
MASK REMINDERS
As we continue to require masks for students, please remember the following:
It’s a good idea to wash your child’s mask frequently, ideally daily if possible.
Please ensure that your child has a few masks to rotate throughout the average school week
Please send an extra mask in your child’s backpack in the event they need another mask
When choosing masks for your child, please look for masks that have 2 or more layers of breathable fabric, cover their nose and mouth, fit snugly across the sides of their face, and don’t have gaps.
If you need help with getting additional masks, please contact the school’s main office.

NEW SPEAK UP SPEAK OUT FORM
The District has joined “Speak Up Speak Out Wisconsin” for threat or incident reporting. This takes the place of our previous “StopIt” reporting form. Click on this link to view the new form. You will notice as you start typing the name of your school, the choices for schools narrows so you can select your school. By selecting your school, this report goes to the principal or local law enforcement when needed. The video linked below gives a good overview of how “Speak Up Speak Out Wisconsin” works and is good to review with your family.
Going forward, we will have a graphic for Speak Up Speak Out Wisconsin at the bottom of each newsletter that you can click on for quick access to report incidents if needed. You can also add the Speak Up Speak Out App on your phone for quick reporting by utilizing these links: iOS | Android
