Hello Waubesa Families,
We hope students enjoyed the three day weekend and are beginning to adjust to the “Spring Forward” one hour ahead. It’s helpful to remind your child to be in tune to their body. For example - if they’re super tired but it’s only 7:45 p.m. and they normally go to bed at 9:00 p.m., tell them to listen to their body and go to bed early. We know that sleep is tied so closely to mood, emotions, and our ability to think (and learn), by listening to our body by getting rest is the most effective way to help with the adjustments. We’re providing this article for helpful ways to support your kids with the loss of one hour of sleep - 5 Ways to Ease Your Child's Transition Into Daylight Saving Time, from Parents.
We have two full weeks until spring break. Please remind your child to stay focused on the present by continuing to work hard and follow the classroom/school expectations. Additionally, we’re expecting lots of inconsistent temperatures this week ranging from the 40’s up to the 70’s by the end of the week. Please prepare your child with layers as we continue to have morning recess and the temperature at 7:30 am is vastly different than they are at lunch recess during the mid-day.
As always, if you have any questions or suggestions throughout the school year, we encourage you to use this form. We appreciate hearing directly from families when they have questions or concerns; thank you.
Thank you for your continued support. Soaring Higher Together!

Measles: Facts & Information
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Please take some time to review the CDC Measles Cases and Outbreaks regarding increased cases of Measles seen in Texas. While the current outbreak has not spread to Wisconsin yet, the potential exists. Measles is a viral infection that causes fever, cough, sore/watery eyes, rash and can lead to serious complications. Measles spreads very easily, so it is important to protect against infection DHS - Measles Fact Sheet. Getting vaccinated is the best way to prevent measles. Two doses of Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) vaccine provide the best protection against disease and is routinely recommended between 12-15 months and the second dose before entering school, at 4-6 years. Waivers to the state school requirements are available for religious, health, and personal conviction reasons (Student Immunization Record). However, in the event of an outbreak of measles students with waivers/unvaccinated may be excluded from school until the outbreak is declared over. You may check your child’s immunization record by logging on to the Wisconsin Immunization Registry (WIR). Your local health department, family health care provider or online health MyChart may also have your child’s immunization record. If interested in getting your student vaccinated please visit Public Health Immunization Clinics or reach out to your clinic. Please reach out to your primary care provider for questions. As always thank you for your collaboration in keeping our students and staff healthy and safe each day!
