Bussing closed August 9th. Bussing schedules and tags will be mailed out the week before school starts.

We hope you are all staying healthy and are enjoying all summer in Wisconsin has to offer! We are looking forward to welcoming your 4K student(s) to one of our eight community sites on September 3, 2024. We are starting our thirteenth year of Four-Year-Old Kindergarten in the Waunakee Community School District, and we are very proud of our program. We partner with excellent sites and our teachers provide an enriching environment where your child will learn through play. The growth we see during the 4K year is remarkable, and we are eager to meet your child and start the year.
