PRINCIPAL'S CORNER
Hopefully we have received our last snow fall of the year! Last year around this time we received a huge amount of snow but then it got warm so it could truly feel like spring. I hope the same warmth is headed our way next week.
Spring break is next week. Please be sure to take time for family and fun. Relax and enjoy the time away. When we get back, staff will review all expectations so we are all on the same page for the last bit of school.
I wish everyone a wonderful break and I will see everyone April 22nd!
Mrs. Michalski

Notes from the Office
Swim Safety Day: Our annual swim safety day is coming up on April 26. Students in grades 1-5 will be bussed to the Pulaski Pool for water safety instruction, basic swim lessons and even a little bit of fun! Permission slips have been sent home and must be returned by April 23rd,– signed – in order for your child to take part. Thanks.
Open Enrollment: This year’s Open Enrollment application period will take place between February 4th 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.
