We hope the break brings time to recharge, time with family, and time for fun!

Stay healthy and know we can't wait to see you in the new year of learning!

Here is some information to take us into January with some pertinent activities for over the break!

Now that you’ve had a chance to see and hear more about what band and orchestra is all about, consider attending a Booster Meeting!!

The Booster Meetings are brief and we discuss fundraisers and ways to improve what we already do.
We only meet a handful of times a year, for about an hour each time.

These meetings are important for the maintenance of our programs, but we need your input!!

Winter Parking

From December 1-March 15 the City of Fort Atkinson has alternate side parking rules. No street parking is permitted between the hours of 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. unless the vehicle is parked on the even/odd side of the street, corresponding with even/odd calendar dates. The calendar date begins at 12:01 a.m. During a snow emergency no parking is permitted on City streets.

Winter Weather

The City of Fort Atkinson Department of Public Works carefully monitors all salt usage and, as such, only applies salt to collector and arterial streets, steep grades in excess of 9% running slope and areas around our schools and hospital. Residential area salt application is limited to intersections only and spot locations as needed. This year we have eliminated the application of sand to better adhere to our Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Permit with the State of Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Always remember to give plow trucks plenty of room during winter weather operations.
