Principal's Post: Upcoming Dates To Note & Traffic Safety Help Needed
Please review our district's school calendar carefully noting some upcoming non-school days and early releases. Here are some upcoming dates to be aware of:
- Monday, January 15 - No School for Teacher In-Service
- Friday, January 19 -Early Release @ 12:30 PM

With the addition of many inches of snow, the drop-off and pick-up areas are a bit more "spicy." Please make sure you are driving extra slow through our lots. Please be patient and pull all the way forward in these areas when dropping off and picking up to minimize the traffic backed up in the road. Also, if you drop off at the PC in the morning, please avoid cutting through the parking stalls to exit. Instead, please drive all the way forward and completely around the lot loop to keep all students, staff and visitors safe. Thank you for your support of our ELC/PC traffic safety expectations.
Finally, on Tuesday's snow day, most of you experienced communication/notification from the school district in a variety of ways regarding our school cancellation. You can control how you receive notifications through your Infinite Campus Parent Portal. If you have updated phone numbers or emergency contact information, please make sure to make these changes in Infinite Campus. If you need assistance, please feel free to contact either school office or Sierra Bucher at buchersierra@mhasd.k12.wi.us
With Viking Pride,
Rachael Johnson, Principal
PTO News
Our K-5 PTO is excited about our upcoming Culver's Share Night on Tuesday, January 30th! There will be some teachers ready to serve you from 5:00-7:00 PM! We hope to see you there!
First Grade Concert and Gallery Walk
We are so excited for our upcoming 1st Grade Music Concert! The concert will take place Friday, February 16 starting at 2:00 PM at the Primary Center. Please note that our concert will take place in the Primary Center gymnasium.
This year we are also excited to announce that in conjunction with the 1st grade concert, we will be hosting a 1st grade art gallery walk! There will be a map printed on the back of your concert program that will guide your art gallery tour. After the concert, you may go pick up your child from their classroom and do the gallery walk together. With this event taking place near the end of our school day, we simply ask that you complete your gallery walk no later than 2:50 PM so that we can safely clear the hallways to get our students ready for dismissal.
We will be unlocking the north, south, and west Primary Center gymnasium doors starting at 1:30 PM. Guests will not be permitted into the building before 1:30 PM. We are encouraging families to park on Academy St. and 2nd St. There will only be minimal parking available in the PC lot and down in the ELC lot.
In our gymnasium, we will have bleacher and chair seating. We ask that the chair seating be reserved for visitors with mobility limitations, parents with small children, and as overflow seating once the bleachers are full.
At the end of the concert, teachers will be taking their students back to their classrooms. Parents will be dismissed by class to check in with the classroom teacher and pick up their child and then complete the art gallery walk.
The children are very excited about performing for us, and sharing their artwork! Thank you for being a part of this event. We are looking forward to seeing you!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Knapp, Music Teacher, Ms. Godfrey, Art Teacher & Mrs. Johnson, Principal

Please Pack Your Child a Change of Clothes And an Ask for L and XL Pants for our Health Office
We would like to encourage you to send a change of clothes for your child to keep in their backpack or cubby. With spills, accidents and a wet playground, our supply of extra clothes is quickly depleted. Having a change of clothes at school, for your student, will save you a call from the office asking you to bring your child a change of clothes during the school day.
That being said, we are in need of stretchy pants(no jeans) size 10-12(L and XL) for boys and girls in our health office. We would love your donations of gently used(no holes) stretchy pants.
Thank you so much for your help with this!
