Is your student within walking distance to school, but needs a ride on chilly days? Friendly reminder to all families that Central Transportation (City Bus) is free for all students 17 and under. Families may call 715-341-4490 if they need to figure out what route their student would take.

Students will be completing their second District Writing Assessment (DWA) starting next week in English classes. The DWA is a benchmark writing assessment that students complete three times a year. It measures students' proficiency in the foundational writing skills of Answer, Development, Organization, and Language.

• 9th grade = Friday, January 3rd

If you have any questions or concerns about the DWA, please contact your student's English teacher or Chelsey Bohon, RtI -- Writing Specialist, at cbohon@pointschools.net.
