Closing The Books On Another Great Year!

A Message From Superintendent
Dr. Jim Gottinger
A deep and sincere thank you for all the fine work you have done for the students of our districts this year. I am proud of the great progress we have made in advancing our Strategic Plan and new opportunities that will be provided for our students and the families of our community.
It is exciting to embark on the journey into the online learning environment for our middle and high school students. We are also excited to provide a before and after school care program in conjunction with the YMCA that has been so desirable for the young families in our community. Our Strategic Plan progress encompasses many more areas and will focus us as we enter the 2017-2018 school year.
With that being said, it is the day-to-day instruction and commitment that you provide for our students that is the most important. The students in your classrooms will never have your class again! The fingerprints that you have left on them will be how they remember any grade or class that each student had this year. The future is now for our students and your dedication, determination, love of teaching and caring for them as people will be what they take home this year. You will teach another class next year, but they have moved on with what you provided them. Thank you for making that experience positive.
It is always a challenge to recharge your batteries and bring 100% to the table for our students each and every day, each and every year. I hope this summer provides you with the time and opportunity to do just that. Enjoy your family, friends, vacation plans, etc., and return next year determined to make the 2017-2018 school year your best.
Have a great summer and thank you for a great year!

Thrivent Financial Supports
Eastview STEM Activities
Thrivent in Lake Geneva recently awarded Eastview a $250 grant to purchase Lego builder kits for an afterschool Lego Club. These kits have sparked high levels of student creativity & have stretched each student’s geometry skills. One student put together a 1,158-piece Ferrari, while others are choosing to design & build their own creations. All club members are enjoying the imaginative play that goes hand-in-hand with building. Thrivent also provided each club member with a free T-shirt.
