Water Filtration Update
We now have a water fountain/water bottle fill station here at Stettin. This system mitigates PFAS- ensuring safer water. It is located in the cafeteria/multipurpose room near the gymnasium. We expect to have two additional units installed in the upcoming days.

A Beloved 5th Grade Trip to the School Forest Continues; With A Few Changes
As you know, the Wausau School District’s mission is to advance student learning, achievement, and success. Part of that includes making sure our students get as many opportunities as possible; including spending time out at the beloved Wausau School Forest. That said, amid an increase in COVID-19 cases across the state, we are shifting to 2-day visits, eliminating the overnight stay for now. We understand that may cause some frustration for your students, and please know this wasn’t an easy decision to make. However, our goal is to make sure they are safe, while at the same time, ensuring they still get to experience all the School Forest has to offer. We think this is the best compromise. Please know we appreciate your flexibility and if you have any questions regarding the additional information provided in regards to this two day experience, please reach out to your child’s teacher or Building Principal.

In Place of Traditional Snow Days
Earlier this week you received a message from the WSD with regard to our plans for Inclement Weather Days. The message can be read by clicking on the button following this text section.
Here are a few additional specifics as related to Stettin:
*We will do our best to be proactive should inclement weather be predicted and send home all necessary materials including student iPads and classroom materials. This is also why we will be sending student iPads home on a daily basis for all students.
*All students should plan to attend a classroom google meet at 9:00 am and 1:00 pm. Each google meet will last approximately 15 minutes. Google meet codes for each classroom will be shared through your class Seesaw.
*During the live google meet, classroom teachers will check in with students, explain the learning activities that students will be completing for the day and answer any questions that there may be.
*Each grade level will be assigned one encore activity through Seesaw. The grade level the child is in will determine what encore activity will be assigned. This activity will be something that students can complete on their own and should take about 15-20 minutes to complete.
*Depending on the child’s grade level additional learning activities will be assigned by the classroom teacher that a child should complete asynchronously/independently during the day. For K-2 this will be approximately an additional 15 minutes and for grades 3-5 this will be about 75 additional minutes.
*We understand that on inclement weather days, internet connections may not always be working. Please do your best to connect to the google meet, when possible. Also, if you are in need of a hot spot, you may check one out through our library. Please contact Ms. Gaskey, our librarian for more information.
