GRADE SPOTLIGHT
Band Open House - Monday, May 6th from 4:00 pm - 6:30 pm
Dear Future Band Parents,
There will be a band department open house Monday, May 6, from 4:00-6:30 p.m. in the elementary band room. Representatives from local music stores will be on hand to assist with selecting a band instrument.
All of the band instruments will be on display and you will be able to rent one for your child for this coming school year. As you can see on the attached flyers, there are a wide variety of trial options for your child. I would strongly recommend using a trial rental program for your child. By using an instrument from a reputable dealer, we will know that your child is starting on the best instrument possible and will have the best chance of success.
If you have an instrument already, I would recommend bringing it to the open house for me to check over, just to make sure it is in good working condition. If it needs repair, you can send it to the repair shop that night and have it ready for summer lessons.
Please do not purchase an instrument online! An instrument that looks like a great deal will end up costing you more money in the long run, as these cheaply made instruments are constantly in the repair shop. They tend to be badly out of tune and break easily.
The school district owns several French Horns and baritones that students would be able use, instead of renting one. Parents are responsible for any repair costs that would incur during the school year.
Summer Band Lesson Information will be forthcoming.
If you have questions please don’t hesitate to call or email. Thanks!

Head Start 3-Year-Old Classroom Within the Cadott School District Elementary
CESA 11 Head Start will be opening a 3 yr old classroom within the Cadott elementary building this fall. The classroom will be able to offer 17 income-eligible 3 year olds an age appropriate early education experience. Along with the educational aspect of the program, family services, health, and nutrition are also key elements. Head Start was developed in 1964 as a part of then President Lyndon B. Johnson’s War on Poverty. Experts were called on to create a comprehensive child development program to help communities support lower income families and children access to quality early education services.
While there are income guidelines for enrollment in this classroom, there are also some factors that can qualify a child/family regardless of income: being a foster child, receiving SSI, and receiving W-2 are some of those factors. Selection is based on need/priority points so please contact Kari Roshell at 715-667-3104 (Stanley-Boyd Head Start center) for more information or to fill out enrollment paperwork. CESA 11 Head Start is excited to be able to offer this classroom within the Cadott School District!
6th Grade Plastic Bag Challenge
PE Update
School Family,
Things have been very busy in the Gym since my last update! Through Donorschoose.org we were able to purchase equipment to provide new movement activities for our students. This donation, by the Herb Kohl Foundation, has enabled us to purchase golf equipment, strength & conditioning equipment, and another set of badminton rackets that will allow us to foster success for our youngest of students! Enjoy the following pictures from a resistance band workout and a day of putting with our new golf sets.
SPACE TO CELEBRATE!
