Dear Parents & Caregivers,

Welcome back from a well-timed spring break! With the return of students and staff, there will be nine weeks of classes before the summer recess is upon us. As I have done in my weekly Sunday afternoon messages, I encourage students to demonstrate regular attendance and fully engage in their daily learning. The last quarter of the school year is always a hectic time, with spring sports soon to be in full swing, including several culminating activities for classes and clubs. The pinnacle activity is graduation, and this year’s end will be no exception!

McCLYMAN RETIRES FROM SCHOOL BOARD

Monday, April 8, 2024, will officially be Bob McClyman’s final board meeting. He has faithfully served as a board member for over 40 years and has been a part of some historical projects in the district, with two such projects serving as bookends to his long-tenured service. He claims to have cast the motion to take another run at the Spring Hill referendum a little over 30 years ago, and he continued to serve the board with the 2018 capital referendum to construct a new WDHS. On behalf of the past and present board members, the district thanks Bob for his decades of service to the School District of Wisconsin Dells.

SURVEY TO GAIN FEEDBACK

Last month, I shared information on a community survey that is coming out in early April. In the next week, the district will send all district residents a survey to gain feedback on finalizing a plan to update school facilities and to gather feedback to help guide them on what to do next.
