Dear Erin Parents,
As we informed you earlier this week, a parent, Jamie Ruggles, passed away suddenly in the early morning on April 5, 2022. Jamie and her husband, Braden Langlois have eight children, of which four attend Erin School.
Many parents have asked how they may help the family. Working with Braden and Kathleen Langlois, Braden’s mom, they have the following suggestions:
Consider donating to a GoFundMe to help pay for the funeral. The account is set up by Jamie’s niece and all proceeds will be used first for funeral costs and any remaining will be used towards family needs. You may donate here.
Look for and attend one of the many events throughout Washington County sponsored by the Washington County Foodies. Events will be placed in our Friday folder as they pop up and you may also check them out on Facebook or their website at Eat Local Foodies. All funds raised from this organization will be placed into a bank account at Bank Five Nine (please note change from original message), incareof Langlois Family. If you would like to donate to this option, you can drop off your donation at any Bank Five Nine branch, or if you would like to drop off at the school, we will deposit it for you. If you are dropping off at school, please indicate it is for the Langlois Family.
Check out the SignUpGenius for opportunities to donate a variety of meal components. See SignUpGenius for more details. Items should be dropped off at the front office by 3:30pm on the day of drop off. More items/days may be added, so keep checking back if you are interested in contributing.

GRANDPARENTS DAY - MAY 6TH (5K-2ND GRADES)
CONGRATULATIONS ROCKIN' ROADRUNNERS!
Congratulations to this week's Middle School Rockin' Roadrunners: Andrew Hegy, Isabel Brown and Reese Phillip. Each of these students showed outstanding kindness and leadership in different ways.
Raffle tickets are awarded to students who randomly show "above and beyond" behaviors in the areas of cooperation, initiative, accountability and integrity. These students earned certificates and a small gift card. We are looking for $5 gift cards if any families are willing to donate. Thanks to parents who have already done so!
WISCONSIN FORWARD TESTING REMINDER (3rd-8th Grade)
Students will be taking Wisconsin Forward Exams March 21-April 22, 2022. The following are a few suggestions for helping your child do their best on the exams:
- Make sure your child gets an adequate amount of rest each night
- a healthy diet is important at all times, but specific research suggests that students are able to perform better on tests if they have a well-balanced breakfast to begin the day
- Tests are stress producers. Discuss the importance of doing well on tests, but too much discussion can be counterproductive so simply focus on encouraging your child to do their best
MISSING: Have you seen headphones like these? We are missing lots of them and need them for WISCONSIN FORWARD TESTING. If you see some and they may belong to Erin School (not always marked unfortunately), please have your child return them to school. Thank you!
