Terrance Slack, District Administrator

Dear Parents & Caregivers,

As I draft the September newsletter, the District is but a few days away from the official return of students to kick off the 2019-20 school year.  With a variety of middle school and high school student activities starting in early to mid-August and a very successful all-school registration under our belt, we are excited to begin the new school year!  Please take note of a couple important dates in September.  The first date Friday, September 13, 2019 and this date will be our first early release for students. Dismissal will take place beginning at 12:30 p.m. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE

If you have a child, or know of someone who has a child, that will be attending 4-year-old kindergarten, please call the appropriate school number to schedule your appointment time. Registration is by appointment only so we can provide our undivided attention and have a productive day. Registration letters will then be mailed to the parent to confirm the appointment.

If you are unable to attend on April 8, please call your respective elementary school to set up an appointment. We look forward to serving you!

Overflow enrollments from the Lake Delton Elementary School attendance area will be assigned to Spring Hill Elementary School, and overflow enrollments from the Spring Hill Elementary School attendance area will be assigned to Neenah Creek Elementary School, based on the student’s registration date.
