MARCH 2024

Principal Message

It's hard to believe that we are already in the third month of the year! Time flies when we're having fun and learning together. We worked on “BE KIND” for the whole month of February, and it was a huge success. Thank you for supporting the work of Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS). Our students are speaking the language and working hard to Be Safe, Be Kind, and Be Responsible.

We have had very Spring-like weather, and in a matter of weeks, we’ll start meteorological spring, but it’s March in Wisconsin, and who knows what will come our way. Please watch the weather so that your Pineview student is prepared for recess no matter what the weather is.

Thank you for your continued support with student drop-off and pick-up. I’d like to remind you to pull as far forward as possible in the lane when you arrive. The mornings are running much more smoothly and safely. Your cooperation is very appreciated.

Parent-Teacher Conferences

Parent-Teacher Conferences are an excellent opportunity for you to meet with your child's teachers, discuss their progress, and address any concerns or questions you may have. We highly encourage parents to attend these conferences as they play an important role in fostering a strong home-school partnership. If you have not scheduled a conference yet, please contact your child’s teacher to request a date and time.

Thursday, March 7, 4-8:00 p.m.
Friday, March 8, 8-11:30 a.m.

Report Cards will be available in Skyward on March 11th.

Spring Break

We want to remind you that our spring break will be from March 25 - April 1. We will return to school on Tuesday, April 2. It's a great opportunity for students and families to take a well-deserved break and recharge for the remainder of the school year. Whether you're planning a vacation or staying local, I hope you have a wonderful time. Notice that there is no school on Monday, April 1st, the day after Easter. This is NOT an April Fool’s Day joke.

Academic Achievements

I am proud to share that our students have been making progress in all social and academic areas. One thing you can do at home to support your child’s academic progress is read with your child; read to them, listen to them read, help them choose things to read, model reading by reading yourself, and just read! Being a reader is a gateway to all learning. For our youngest learners, this starts with learning the alphabet and the sounds that the letters make. Then we work on blending those sounds together to make words. The next step is putting all the words together to make meaning. This happens in lists, books, captions under pictures, and anywhere we see the written word. We become better readers by reading. The same is true for writing. If your child likes to tell stories, encourage them to write the stories down and then read them using the skills they have mastered so far.

Reminders

Remember to check our school website and social media platforms for regular updates and announcements.
Read to and with your child for 20 minutes every day.
Please ensure that your contact information is up to date in our system so that we can reach you in case of any emergencies or important notifications.

Thank you for your continued support and involvement in our school community. Together, we can make a positive difference in the lives of our students. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to me or our dedicated staff.

Wishing you a joyful and productive month ahead!

Warm regards,

Jenny Hynek

4K & Kindergarten Registration for 2024-2025

Online registration for the 2024-2025 school year is now open. New students to the school district can enroll online using the following link:

4K & Kindergarten Registration

Current 4K students will be bringing home a Kindergarten registration letter/form for parents to complete and return to their 4K teacher. You will not need to complete the online registration process. Building and classroom assignments will be sent home to parents at a later date.

There will not be an in-person 4K registration event this school year. If you need assistance with the registration process or have questions, please stop in or call the Central Office at (608) 524-2016.

Community Survey Coming Soon

The School District of Reedsburg Board of Education seeks input on a potential phase one project. In early March, a community-wide survey will be distributed to gather input to help the board determine its next steps in the process.

The community's feedback will aid in deciding whether to proceed with the current project scope, make necessary adjustments, or temporarily halt facilities planning. Implementing the long-term facility plan in phases will help to distribute costs over time, making it more affordable for taxpayers. It's crucial to receive input and direction from the survey about the potential first phase, so please take the time to complete it.

Go to the website to learn more about the Long-Term Facilities Plan and Building Excellence at the School District of Reedsburg.
