Picture Retake Day has been rescheduled to Monday, October 7th in the afternoon. Students will be dismissed by grade if they need their school photo or retake.

Parent Teacher Conferences will be "walk-in" style! Parents/Guardians will not need to schedule a time to meet with their students' teachers. We do ask that you try to keep conversations with your students' teachers brief (approx. 15 min).

On Thursday 10/17, Juniors will attend the Wisconsin Education Fair (WEF) at Lakeland University. Juniors will be released from 5th period at 8:35am to head to the JFK to find bus groups and board buses. We will return by 12:00pm.

What is WEF?

Wisconsin Education Fair is an opportunity for students to learn about postsecondary options. There will be up to 150 representatives from colleges, universities, trade schools, speciality schools, military branches, and national service organizations (including UW, private, technical, and out-of-state options).

Students will have the opportunity to talk directly to a representative, ask questions, and learn more information. Each representative will answer questions you have about tuition & fees, classes, majors, prerequisites, extra-curricular opportunities, financial aid, scholarships & grants, study abroad, athletics, etc.

Wisconsin Department of Health Services has announced changes to the Wisconsin Student Immunization law (WI Administrative Code Ch. DHS 144 Immunization of Students) that was originally passed in 1975 and has gone through several changes since then. The law sets forth a minimum immunization requirement for school age children to prevent the spread of vaccine-preventable disease amongst Wisconsin students.

Effective beginning 2024-25 school year the following changes to the WI Student Immunization Law will be implemented.

• Meningococcal (MenACWY-containing) vaccine will be required for students entering seventh grade, and a booster dose for eligible students entering 12th grade.

• Parent report of chickenpox disease is no longer acceptable for exemption from the varicella (chickenpox) vaccine requirement. Children must have a diagnosis of chickenpox from a qualified health care provider (M.D., D.O., N.P., or P.A.) to be exempt from this requirement, however existing exemption options still apply.

• The definition of “substantial outbreak” for both child care centers and schools will now align with CDC definitions. Chickenpox and meningococcal diseases are being added to this definition.

There are no changes to the Wisconsin state statute in terms of waivers to vaccination.

What has not changed?

*The updated requirements leave in place the already established list of required vaccinations.

*The existing exemption options for medical, religious, or personal conviction reasons are still available.

A waiver can be found on our district website that fulfills the requirement for any parents who do not wish to receive the vaccine.
