The Rise Up Family Newsletter

Greetings PPA students, families, and community,

Can you believe it, we have 14 days left in the 23-24 school year!! It has been fascinating to see the growth in these wonderful scholars. Please remind students that we will collect Chromebooks at the end of the school year, so they don’t have to worry about them. LOL

SUMMER SCHOOL!!!

If you are interested in your scholar attending summer school please fill out this form. There are some families that have received messaging and we want to make sure everyone is aware of summer school and have the opportunity to share their interest.

PPA Summer School Interest Form

As well, families that have completed the form lookout for a confirmation email.

I want to share some upcoming dates so that you can begin to prepare for these events.

We are asking for families to check for missing and damaged Chromebooks AND return them to PPA’s main office. If you need to know how many Chromebooks your scholar has signed out to them, reach out to Ms. Kathy at 608-834-5503. Please be aware there is a fee for missing Chromebooks. Families could be charged up to $250.00 for each missing Chromebook.

FYI: Drivers Ed information from the district!

The Sun Prairie Area School District Drivers Ed program does not maintain a waitlist. Students must have successfully completed the required 30 hours of Traffic Safety class (offered through Summer School only) to apply for Behind the Wheel training. Students who successfully complete the classroom portion will receive a certificate of completion in their district email. When applying for Behind the Wheel, the students will be sent information on the forms that must be completed and submitted to the Department of Motor Vehicles to get a temporary driving permit.

Take care,

Ms. Sconiers

All Chromebooks are to be turned into the office before June 5th.

In Geometry we learned Trigonometry (Sine, Cosine and Tangent) and how to use them to find unknown sides of right triangles. We used what we learned to find the height of the ceiling in the classroom and the height of the light pole outside. To do this used a clinometer to measure the angle from eye level to the top of what we were trying to find the height of. After we had our information, we set up a trig problem to find the height!
