Family Virtual Learning reflection & survey
Thank you so much for your patience, understanding, and support as we learn how to best serve students in a virtual environment. Please take a moment to provide us with important feedback regarding Virtual Learning in the past two months. Your input will help us 1. reflect on the positives and areas of improvement, and 2. anticipate how we can continue to adjust, as it is possible, yet uncertain that we may need to continue a type of virtual learning in the fall.
*Please fill out the following survey for EACH learner in your home.

Fox Prairie WFK's
Community Cupboard:
With the school building closed, our school's Little Free Library is also closed. Working for Kids has worked to relocate the books and expand the offerings. If you or your family are looking for some new-to-you books to use or could use a little help with food and personal hygiene items, please stop by our community cupboard. It is located at 1315 W. South Street (one block down South Street from Fox Prairie). We typically have canned and non-perishable food, many snack items, personal hygiene supplies and books for all ages. We utilize rigorous hygiene practices in the handling of items and encourage visitors to do the same.
This project receives ongoing funding support from Working for Kids and has received many donations of items from the community.
Fox Prairie Garden Committee
Hello Families!
We are ready to start planting in the Fox Prairie Garden! If you have seeds or plants that you would like to put in, please contact Kathi Oettel at kathi.oettel@stoughton.k12.wi.us She will assign a box (or a few boxes) for you to use.
We would also like families to sign up to adopt the garden over the summer. Your job would be to keep it weeded, harvest any produce that is ready, and clean up around the area. Please sign up on this document. Link
