Leadership and Learning Continues

Focus on Deeper Learning through Equity

New Curriculum New Courses This Fall

As a leadership team, we have been working on Deeper Learning as the pathway to equity for the last three years. We developed our Equity Beliefs, which are the foundational beliefs that frame our work for all learners and our greater community.

We are excited to announce the adoption of new curricular core resources in 4K-5th grade English Language Arts, 6-12 Science, and 6-12 Social Studies. Read more...

Young at Heart

This summer the WAWM RCS Young at Heart Program kicked off our Inaugural Cornhole (Bags) Season. The league meets every Thursday morning at the West Allis Athletic Complex. We have had five teams sign up to play and the league has been very competitive. We are looking to add another Fall League. If you are interested in signing up for Cornhole, please contact Beau Benner. Check out our Activity Guide to see all of the other great Young at Heart Programs we have to offer!

NEOLA School Board Policies

Policy requirements and laws are constantly changing, making consistency and compliance with new legal mandates an ongoing challenge. In July, 2018, we entered into a contract with Neola Inc. Neola policies are founded on state statute and have been vetted by a team of attorneys. Over 300 School Districts in the State of Wisconsin have adopted Neola Policies.

Our Executive Team, Executive Assistant, School Board Members, Managers, and Colleagues have been reviewing/revising Neola school board policies. Each policy required personalized consultation designed to address our individual policy needs. The Bylaws (0000), Administration (1000), and Relations (9000) Policies were approved by our Board of Education on May 24, 2021. Policies can be viewed here.

RtI Recognized Schools

The Wisconsin RtI Center Recognized Schools Program celebrates school progress in expanding, refining, and sustaining implementation of both PBIS (behavior) and RtI (reading and math).

“Our multi-level systems of support is an important component of ensuring our students are college and career ready when they graduate.” explains Superintendent, Dr. Marty Lexmond. “The recognition these schools have earned demonstrates that we’re working hard to meet the individual academic and behavioral needs of our students and that we still have important work to do.” Read more...

Skyward Student Information System

Skyward is the tool that helps parents view student schedules, attendance, and grade reports while logged in on any personal device! We ask that parents access Skyward to track their child’s progress in school (we only print paper records upon request).

It also allows for increased communication with teachers. It is very important that parents maintain accurate telephone numbers and email addresses on Skyward.
