Absences

Absences should be called into the office at (920) 532-5553 by 8:30AM or parents will receive an automated phone call regarding their absent child. Please call the office if you have a late day message for your child. Please do not call or email the teachers directly as they are not always able to check their email or listen to voice messages until after school.

If your child will be missing one or more days of school due to a pre-arranged absence, please have your child pick up an absence form in the office.

2025-26 Forward Exam (Grades 5 - 8)

Wisconsin Students in Grades 5-8 will be participating in the
WI FORWARD assessment during the March 24th - April 16th testing window.

The FORWARD assessment tests students in the areas of ELA and Math for grades 5-8 and also Science and Social Studies for our 8th graders. One or more subtests may be administered daily during the identified time frame and it is very important that your son or daughter be in school during this time. Students not in school on the scheduled testing days will be scheduled for a make-up test prior to the close of the testing window.

The FORWARD assessment measures the knowledge and skills your student(s) should have acquired by the time they reach each grade level. Their performance on the assessment will not affect any of their current grades. Please encourage your son or daughter to take the test seriously and do the best they can. The results of these tests will be used to help school staff make determinations or placement in classes to best support your child(ren).
 

Nurses Notes

This is a reminder that all 6th graders entering 7th grade in 2026 will need a Tdap booster and a Meningococcal vaccine. If you choose not to have your child vaccinated, you will need to sign a waiver form in the WMS health office.
