Ixonia Elementary School
Falcon Flyer - March 3, 2017
And the dream becomes REALITY...
We are pleased to share with you some images of what is to come in the very near future for our community. There still may be some slight tweaks, but this is the general view that students, families, community members, and visitors will see when they arrive at Ixonia Elementary School. The new exterior will have a strong presence that embodies the quality and character of education that matches what you find inside.
In addition to what you see in these images, there will be MAJOR changes to our hard surface playground as well as our play equipment. A team will be exploring options to make our outdoor place spaces safe, creative, productive, and active. This is separate, but equally important planning work that will begin shortly after our design development is complete for our interior and exterior building.
Interior images will be available soon. We are at the point of making selections for new carpeting, paint and other finishes that will impact our entire building, bridging together the new building to the existing spaces. Very soon, those images will also be shared!
Mark your calendars for May 19th @ 11:00 a.m. for an official community ground breaking ceremony. More details to follow in the upcoming weeks.
Thanks again to the community of Ixonia and all of OASD for this opportunity to build our dream. It's been a wonderful journey thus far, with only more excitement to come.
Let's Gear Up for March Reading Month
March will be filled with fun reading activities. Those include dress-up week tied to reading & Dr. Suess.
Forward Testing
All students in grades 3-8 around the state will begin the process of taking the Forward exam. From March 20-March 31, 3rd and 4th graders at Ixonia School will be taking this exam. Specific grade level schedules will be communicated parents in the next coming weeks. We highly encourage families to plan any time off of school outside of this testing window. Please let your child's teacher know if school will be missed during this time.

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.
