Keep those letters coming!
Now is the time to help your child learn about writing and sending mail! Ixonia's teachers are in the midst of the school's post office unit. For one more more week, students in 5K thgouth 4th grade will be writing and sending letters to their school assigned pen pals.
Parents are encouraged to take part in this lesson!
Please consider writing a letter to your own child and sending it to the school, either through the mail or by dropping it off. Please include child's grade level and teacher's name on the envelope.

Student Family Assistance Program
Success at Ixonia: Student Family Assistance Program
We are so excited to share with you that the Oconomowoc Area School District has partnered with Aurora Healthcare to offer free counseling services to all students and families. This new program offers professional counselors to help students and families address a wide range of issues that impact health and academic performance. Under this partnership, every family in the Oconomowoc Area School District is eligible for six one-hour confidential counseling sessions per topic of concern for no cost.
Our teachers and student services team are always trying to support the emotional development of our students. However, often times our team can only scratch the surface when working with individual students. This program may be the perfect opportunity for you and your child to seek additional and comprehensive support to cope with a variety of challenges including: use of alcohol or other drugs and mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression or stress. You may also reach out to SFAP for support in dealing with grief or other family crises.
We are only one of eight school districts in the area to offer a partnership like this, and the first in Waukesha County! I am proud to work for a district that values and emphasizes the importance of supporting our families in times of crisis. To seek additional information, please contact either myself (Mrs. Yearling), a member of our Student Services team (Mrs. Behrens, Mrs. Lee or Ms. Wagner), or the SFAP program directly at 1-800-236-3231.
