Feedback about Learning Survey
This year is off to a wonderful start. In classrooms, teachers and students have jumped into learning tasks and students have shown their best on the first round of MAP testing. At recess, kids have positively embraced the fun games and activities available. We appreciate your attention and cooperation with our logistical changes. As a result, we feel there is a smooth transition to the start and end of our school day.
As we continuously strive to strengthen our relationships with families, we are asking for your time on a brief survey about feedback you receive from school about your child's learning. Information from parents across the district will be used to improve more effective ways we can communicate about how your child is learning.
If you have a child at multiple schools, please click on the link and submit a separate survey for each school.
As always, we thank you for your time and suggestions!
MAP Testing Continues...
MAP testing continues next week at Ixonia. Please do your best to send your student to school well fed and well rested! We want all students here to be able to perform at their best level! Thank you!
Be The Change!
Today the Ixonia Elementary PTO kicked-off its annual fundraising campaign and they need your support! They've partnered with Cherrydale to raise the money we need for our outdoor play space! This year's campaign is called "Be The Change", and Radio Disney star Erin Bowman wrote an exclusive song for Ixonia students called "Be the Change"! Follow the link below to watch the video, learn more about the campaign and how to register.
Helping is as easy as 1, 2, 3. Sign up, Set up and Share... it only takes a few minutes. The PTO is counting on your support!

Homecoming Float Volunteers Needed
Shh - don't share with anyone that we are going with a Theme of "Star" Wars.
The Pyka Family has again agreed to host the float building. We are looking for as many hands to help on the following dates:
- Thursday, Sept. 21st - 4 to 6 pm (Float Building)
- Thursday, Sept. 28th - 4 to 6 pm (Float Building)
- Friday, Sept. 29th (Homecoming Parade)
HOW YOU CAN GET INVOLVED -- ALL ARE WELCOME!
- Float building at the Pyka Home: W195 Cottage Ave. Oconomowoc
- Parade: All are welcome to walk with Ixonia in the parade. We ask that each family bring a bag of candy to pass out. The parade is Friday, September 29th. Those walking should arrive by 5:00 p.m. You will need to look for the Ixonia float somewhere along Oakwood Ave. Costumes are strongly encouraged related to the Star Wars theme (parents too!). If you'd rather just wear your purple Ixonia shirt, that is OK too.
- Candy donation: If you'd rather watch the parade, you can also help by donating a bag of candy. Candy can be sent to school anytime starting Monday through the day of the parade.
Oconomowoc Summer Reading Program - UPDATE!
Please watch for information next spring about next year's opportunity. We'd love to see even more Ixonia students taking part in this program. Next year's theme: Libraries Rock!
DID YOU KNOW?
Every parent or guardian must have a completed background check on file before being allowed to chaperone any Ixonia School field trip. Background checks are good for three years - but if you've not submitted information online, your is no longer valid and must be done again.
Submitting information is quick and easy!
