From the Desk of Mr. Nelson
It's that time - time to get library books returned! Look under beds, between couch cushions, and next to your favorite stuffed animals. Get those library books turned in ASAP, because if we get enough turned in, you'll get to see Dr. Hauser and me reading on the roof at morning drop-off the last day of school!
Lost and Found items will be donated on Thursday, June 6th.
Please remind your student(s) to come and look in the lost and found for any items that may have misplaced at school. Thank you!

End of Year Information
As we near the end of the school year and much anticipated Summer break, MSD Health Services is asking that you please review the following Health Services End of Year information . If your student currently has medication at school, you will find pick up information in this document. If your student's medication is NOT picked up by the end of the day on the last day of school, Thursday, June 6th, it will be sent to the CEPS Health office for summer school and pick up will need to be coordinated from that school. Please complete and return the Medication Release Form to the health office, also available in the health office and MSD Health Service Website. Please reach out with any questions. Thank you!
Ticks in Wisconsin
Spring is here and ticks are active! There are many diseases that can be spread by ticks in Wisconsin; including Lyme disease and Rocky mountain spotted fever. Most tickborne diseases in Wisconsin are spread by the black-legged tick (also known as the deer tick). To prevent Lyme disease and other illnesses spread by ticks, it’s important to carefully remove attached ticks as soon as possible and get rid of them. As you spend more time outdoors, be sure to check for ticks and remember these tips to help prevent tick bites. See Ticks in Wisconsin: What You Need to Know for more information.
