Our staff vs. student kickball game is almost here! Students have earned tickets for showing good sportsmanship on the playground and winners will be drawn to play the staff. It should be a wonderful game!
Girl Scout Troop
The Bronze Award is the highest national award a Girl Scout Junior (4th or 5th grade) can earn. Girls need to identify an issue in their community they care about, and then design a solution oriented project. It is expected that each girl have 20 hours in the project. The Riverview troop decided to focus on purchasing a basketball hoop for Gigi’s Playhouse that cost around $399. They made items to sell and ended up raising $677.70! Along with the basketball hoop, they will be purchasing for them a nice supply of basketballs. Thank you for supporting the troop!
Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) Fact Sheet

WSD Pupil Nondiscrimination Self-Evaluation Report
Wis. Admin. Code § PI 9.06 requires school boards to evaluate the status of nondiscrimination and equality of educational opportunity in the school district at least once every five years and report the results to the Department of Public Instruction.
As part of that work, a team, made up of Wausau School District staff, including administrators, put together the Wausau School District Pupil Nondiscrimination Self-Evaluation Report. Now that the report has been compiled, we need to provide an opportunity for participation by students, teachers, administrators, parents/guardians, and residents of the school district. If you would like to share a comment, please don't hesitate to get in touch with Andy Grimm, Coordinator of Pupil Services, via email at agrimm@wausauschool.org
PI 9.01 Discrimination prohibited
Public schools in Wisconsin cannot discriminate against students based on characteristics like race, religion, disability, or sexual orientation. This includes admissions, programs, and activities.
Exceptions are allowed for special programs designed to meet the specific needs of students, such as gifted and talented programs or special education.
The full report can be found here: https://www.wausauschools.org/departments/pupil-services
iPad Collection
The 2023-24 school year is quickly coming to a close and summer vacation is rapidly approaching. The Wausau School District appreciates your patience, understanding, and participation throughout this past school year. Your input and involvement has made a tremendous difference!
At the beginning of the school year, your child was issued an instructional device set. Your family may have also taken a US Cellular Hotspot for home internet access. Each of these items will need to be returned to your child’s home school in good working order by the end of this school year. Students enrolled in Summer Learning will also need to return their Instructional Device Set at the end of this school year. We will take care of providing their same Instructional Device Set to Summer Learning as needed. Please review the items listed below to determine which you will need to return.
