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).
 

Attention 7th Grade Parents


At the end of May, your 7th grade child will be starting a Human Growth and Development Unit in Health Class. Please be on the lookout for a letter that will be sent home detailing what we will be covering.

This form will also allow you to opt your child out of the material. If you have any questions after you receive the form, please feel free to email Mrs. Cisler @ cisler@wrightstown.k12.wi.us OR
Dr. Wilichowski @ wilichowski@wrightstown.k12.wi.us.

Good afternoon, we experienced an issue with our translation services for this newsletter. We have translated this newsletter again, and versions other than English should now be correct. Unfortunately, we are unable to send this exclusively to audiences who require translation, so families whose preferred language is English will receive this notification twice. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
