This is a great opportunity to get students and families back in the mood for the upcoming school year that begins on Tuesday, September 3rd @ 7:45 AM. Of course there’s always some housekeeping that needs to be done, so make sure when you arrive to check-in at the table to pick up your paperwork. All paperwork needs to be completed that night so come ready to fill in the blanks! We have been working hard this summer to make things as easy as possible for your family's transition back this fall.

Feel free to bring any supplies that your student wants to have on hand. You will meet your student’s advisor and classrooms will be open. Bus tickets and locker assignments will also be available.

We look forward to seeing you at the Open House!

If your household has received an eligibility letter from Nutrition Services, you do not

need to do anything further with a free and reduced meal application. However, if you

have not received a letter and feel that your household would qualify for free or reduced

price meal benefits if your child(ren) did not attend a CEP (Community Eligible

Provision) school, we are kindly asking that you complete an application as this could

help receive funding for other programs and/or grants. Receipt of free breakfast and

lunch meals does not depend on completing and returning an application. The quickest

way to complete an application is online by clicking the following link: https://linqconnect.com/public/meal-application/new?identifier=E66EJJ.

Paper applications are available at your school’s main

office or the District School Nutrition Office.

Important health information from Health Services for the 2024-2025 school year. Please update any new health information on the online request form, so accurate health information is received. Please review the following information about medication during the school day. OVER THE COUNTER MEDICATIONS are available during the school day. The Wausau School District will supply generic ibuprofen and generic regular strength acetaminophen (Tylenol) for students in high school. WSD personnel will only administer the recommended therapeutic dose of the non-prescription medication. Also available is the medication consent form. This form is used for daily prescription medication or over-the-counter medication other than generic ibuprofen or acetaminophen (i.e., tums, allergy medication etc.). Both forms along with specialized forms for Allergy Action Plan, Seizure Action Plan, Asthma Action Plan and Special Dietary Request forms may be found on the Wausau School District website www.wausauschools.org under department, then health services. Blank or completed copies of these forms can be picked up/dropped off any time during the school year at the East Health Office.

Medication must be kept in the health office. Students are not allowed to have medication (prescription or over the counter) with them during the school day with the exception of: Diabetic supplies, EpiPens and Inhalers. Medication is required to be brought in by a parent/guardian. Medication may be dropped off in the health office between the hours of 7:15-3:15.

It is our goal to help connect our families with things they may need. We all fall on hard times occasionally. If there are things that we can connect you with, please let Mrs. Nilles (snilles@wausauschools.org) our school social worker know. Her job is to connect our families with resources. This can be anything from a bed for a child, to regular grocery supplies. Please, let us help! If you are worried that asking for these things will lead to issues for you, please do not worry! We are simply wanting to assist if possible.
