A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRINCIPALS:

Principal, Paul Bierman

Associate Principal, Matt Peetz

It’s beginning to feel a lot like winter! As temperatures drop and snow begins to fly, don’t forget to send your child to school with a coat, snow pants, mittens, a hat, and boots. It’s always a great idea to label those items with your child’s name as well. If your child needs any winter clothing, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We want to make sure all of our students are warm and safe as another Wisconsin winter approaches. 

It’s hard to believe, but the first trimester has come to an end! Report cards will not be sent home with students. This year, you can access report cards in your child’s Skyward Family Access account. If you need a paper copy, contact the school office where your child attends, and we will print one for you. 

As you review your student’s report card, you will notice teachers have not marked progress in the areas of science and social studies. This does not mean that content in these two areas has not been taught throughout the course of the trimester. Students will be exposed to all science and social studies content but will not be assessed formally in these areas.

You may view your child’s trimester 1 report card on their Skyward Family Access account. The report cards are based on end-of-the-year benchmarks.

If your child earned a 3 on a concept, they are meeting the end-of-the-year expectations.

If your child earned a 2 on a concept, they are making progress and approaching the end of the year expectations.

If your child earned a 1 on a concept, they are currently not meeting the end-of-the-year expectations. 

As the year moves along and your child continues to grow in their skills, the numbers may change. The goal is to have 3s by the end of the year, not trimester 1. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us or your student’s teachers. Please keep in mind that a report card is simply a snapshot of where your child’s academic skills are at this point in time. Take a moment to acknowledge and applaud your child’s strengths and growth while also setting some goals for the next trimester. 

Thank you for your continued support and partnership in your child’s education.

Thank you!

Mr. Peetz and Mr. Bierman

The weather is turning colder, and we would like to remind families to please be sure to send your child to school with the appropriate winter gear. Students are expected to go outside for recess unless it is raining or if the temperature is zero degrees or less, with the wind chill factored in. 

If there is snow on the ground, students should have snow pants and boots in order to play in the snow; otherwise, they will need to remain on the blacktop area of the playground. 

If you are in need of assistance in obtaining winter gear for your child, please contact the school office, and we can help you out.

Dear Parents,

Schools are successful when they help children grow academically, socially, and emotionally. For this to happen, it is important that we have a safe environment that is supportive and conducive for growth. By setting forth clear social and behavioral expectations and directly teaching students about those expectations, it is our goal to continue to have a positive atmosphere for optimal learning. We are excited to inform our families that Pineview and Westside Elementary School are participating in Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS). PBIS is a school-wide system that includes proactive strategies for teaching, modeling, and reinforcing appropriate student behavior. We are using this program to help our students have a safe, positive learning environment and to provide consistency in all areas of our schools. 

We have adopted a unified set of behavioral expectations. You will see these expectations posted throughout the schools, and your child will be learning them during the first weeks of school. Our unified classroom rules will be found in every classroom and in non-classroom settings in the school. The behavioral expectations are as follows:  

 “ Be Safe, Be Kind, and Be Responsible"
