Start-of-Year Reminders
- We are able to get messages to students if parents call before 2:30 pm. After 2:30, there is simply too much traffic in the office for the staff to adequately contact students with last-minute changes to afternoon plans (pick up, riding a different bus, etc.) Please make all changes to after-school plans by 2:30 pm; we cannot guarantee that students will receive messages after 2:30. We appreciate your help and understanding.
- The school doors open at 7:45, and the playground is open to students at that time. Please do not drop your child off at school before 7:45 am, as per our student handbook. Thank you.
- If your child is going to be absent, please call the Attendance Line: (715) 356-5206, and press option 1.
- Lunch money can be turned in the front office. If you are paying with cash, please put the money in an envelope with your student's name and label it 'Lunch Money.'
Counseling Corner
Our Firebird Network Peer Mentoring program is scheduled to begin the first week of November. We are currently seeking 8th graders who wish to become mentors for a younger student in grades K-3.
As a mentor, you will meet with your mentee weekly for 15 minutes to spend supervised time together on an activity, game, or reading. You will use your patience and listening skills to help support and encourage your mentee over the course of the school year. In order to qualify for the program, you must be in good academic standing with no major discipline referrals.
If you are an interested in being one of our 8th grade mentors this year, please pick up an application in the counselors' office (room 134).
Applications are due Monday, October 16. Selections will be finalized that week - space is limited.
