PRINCIPAL'S CORNER
Just a reminder that the doors will remained locked through dismissal. Once all students are out and busses released, doors will be unlocked for parents to enter to pick up students from after school activities. Safety remains our top priority and we will continue to analyze our practices and keep you informed of any changes.
Spring is on its way but our playground is very muddy in many places. Boots and snowpants help keep kids clean and dry. Please continue to send these until we can be sure most mud has disappeared and the snow is completely gone. Snow gear may need to be washed more often now due to the mud so please check them often.
We also have a very large lost and found that has accumulated over the winter months. If you are missing something, please stop in and see if we have it. All items will be either thrown out or donated at the end of April.
As always, please contact me with any questions or concerns you have regarding your child. Mrs. Michalski

Notes from the Office
All Arts Day: is set to go on April 19th. Thanks to all of our volunteer presenters for lending a hand! We look forward to this fun filled day.
Open Enrollment: This year’s Open Enrollment application period will take place between February 5th and April 30th. The Wisconsin Open Enrollment program allows children to attend public school in a school district other than the one in which they live. Early and late applications will not be accepted. Parents may apply online at https://dpi.wi.gov/oe If you do not have access to a computer, call or stop in at the district office.
If your child is currently attending under Open Enrollment, it is not necessary to complete an application form; your child will remain an active student through 12th grade.
Bus Drivers: The Oconto Falls School District is in need of bus drivers for regular routes and bus drivers for sporting events. Contact Kay Oninski at the Bus Garage (848-4460).
