The State of the School District
The Strategic Plan
The Strategic Plan is a living document representing a vision for the school community. The plan is a culmination of 12 months of collecting input from community members, educators, parents, and students. The school board and administration appreciate each person who participated in the community-wide survey or attended an input session to provide their insight and expertise. Together, we are engaging and inspiring students to achieve and become leaders who make a difference.
State Accountability Report Card
A vital component of the District's educational programs is ensuring that parents and other community members are informed of the performance of the schools and the school district. Legislation prohibits the release of the 2015-16 school year report cards. Provided is the most currently available information.
The student achievement report consists of student performance on the Wisconsin Student Assessment System (WSAS), ACT College Readiness Assessment, and the Wisconsin State Report Card.
Academic standards are an essential element of the educational program. Standards provide clear statements about what students must know and be able to do and are critical to ensuring academic success. Standards also help parents understand what is expected of their children. The academic standards in core content areas include:
Wisconsin Academic Standards for Mathematics
Wisconsin Model Academic Standards for Science
Wisconsin Academic Standards for Reading and Writing
Wisconsin Model Academic Standards for Geography and History
The Wisconsin Student Assessment System (WSAS) is a comprehensive statewide program designed to provide information about what students know in core academic areas and whether they can apply what they know. The federal No Child Left Behind Act requires all states to test all students in reading and mathematics in grades 3 through 8 and once in high school.
The Educator Effectiveness System was enacted into legislation in WI Act 166. Throughout its development, the system has engaged teachers and school leaders in years of work teams and pilot stages of development while gathering feedback directly from system users for continued refinement.
A well-organized and well-conducted athletic program is a potent factor in building the morale of a student body and an important phase of good school-community relations.
