Did you miss the Returning Student Registration Deadline? There is still time to register! Log in to Skyward Family Access ASAP to finish this important task. https://www.dist50.net/o/dist50/page/skyward-family-access Thank you to the 79% of families who are already registered for the 2024-2025 School Year. 💚 UPDATE: We did not turn off access to Skyward like we have done in the past. This year we have decided to leave it open so that you can complete this process in the system, rather than work one-on-one with someone in the Registration office. But remember, if you do not complete registration and proof of residency you will NOT be able to see your child's teacher when we release that information in Skyward.

Summer Series: What happens at the school district while students are on summer break? The Operations & Facilities Team was on hand to accept delivery of new district copiers. The Board of Education approved a new 5-year lease for walk-up copiers at the May 2024 Governing Meeting. The O&F team will pass this project along to the Tech Department who will be working with our vendor to manage the installation of the new copiers throughout the month of July and August so they are ready for the new school year. #LifeintheW

Ms. Rakosnik sent these photos from their Summer STEM project where students were challenged to build a tower. They used the Scientific Method, made sketches of their towers, hypothesized if the towers would withstand an earthquake, and reported out their conclusions. Great job Wildcats!
