Message from Principal Tammy Hayes
Hello Everyone!

I would like to thank everyone for the great start to the school year! We had a fabulous turn out for our Open House! I did note that many parents commented that it was difficult to get to more than one school in an hour, so we will work on extending the hours for our Open House next year!  

We also had an amazing turn out for our Bingo with grandparents! Thank you so much for coming in and sharing special moments with the children. It meant a lot to the staff and the children to meet and see special people in our kid's lives.

Reminder, if you wish to volunteer or chaperone a field trip, you need to have an approved background check on file. Please check with the office if you have any questions.

Please check out our district website for updated information on our upcoming referendum on Tuesday, October 10th. Please get out and VOTE!

Once again, I would like to thank you for being a part of the South Elementary School Family. If I can be of any service to you, feel free to contact me at 608-768-8936 ext 2503.

In partnership,
Mrs. Hayes :)

It is important that we be able to contact you in case of an emergency. Please be sure that your voice mailbox is set up and that it is able to accept messages. Many times we are unable to contact parents because either the voice mailbox is not set up or it is full and cannot accept messages.

Going Home Plans - For the safety of your child/ren, we ask that you please keep your child's going home plans as routine as possible. We understand that plans can change, so if at all possible, please send a note to school with your child. Last minute, emergency change can be called into the office by 2:30 p.m.

Change of Clothes - Please put a seasonal extra set of clothes in your child's bookbag in case they were to have a food spill, bloody nose or a bathroom accident.
