A message from your District Administrator

Dear School District of Wisconsin Dells Community Members,


Please take a moment to review this month’s edition of our e-newsletter. District officials have put together a variety of articles to keep our district’s constituents up-to-date on a variety of topics at all levels of our schools. If you need additional information, please do not hesitate to reach out to acquire more details. Thank you! 

 

Dear School District of Wisconsin Dells Community Members,

November sees several events and transitions for our students. WDHS students will present the musical Beauty and the Beast on November 10th , 11th, and 12th . As many know, this will be the first musical production to take place in the Nelson Performing Arts Center. If you have not been able to check out this fantastic facility, next week is your chance to do so! Tickets will be available to purchase at the door, with admission costs of $12.00 for adults and $6.00 for students. We hope to see you there!


High school student-athletes will begin to transition from fall to winter sports, with contests set to start in late November. As has been mentioned in the past, when students are engaged in activities such as the arts or athletics, they typically have better school attendance and better grades than their peers who do not participate in school activities. Thus, if your child is not participating in an extra-curricular activity, give a few words of encouragement to get them to participate in at least one activity this winter season.


Finally, as a reminder, November will see a short two-day week during the Thanksgiving holiday. The break will begin at the end of classes on Tuesday, November 21, 2024, with classes resuming on Monday, November 27, 2023.  Enjoy this downtime as well as spending time with family.    ...READ MORE

AgriScience Growing In SDWD

By: Nathaniel Nolden, HS AgriScience Teacher and FFA Adviser, Alexis Nolden, 6-12 AgriScience Teacher and FFA Adviser

Back to school is a wonderful time of year; the days get cooler so it is much more enjoyable to work outside, students are motivated to get involved from their time away during the summer, and there is energy in the air as the school year begins and everyone falls back into solid routines. At Wisconsin Dells High School the AgriScience Department is a busy place to be; students are setting up their SAE projects, the acre and half of garden spaces are being prepared for winter, the school farm is raising animals for the community, and FFA has kicked off the year with a variety of activities. ...READ MORE

Technology Education at WDMS

By Casey Whitehurst, Middle School Principal

8th grade students who take the technology education elective class have many hands-on opportunities.

Students work with and acquire the knowledge and ability to use a myriad of shop power tools. They then apply this knowledge and ability to create a number of summative projects that use the equipment. The tools students learn about and use are table saws, chop saws, welders, drill press, mini lathe, band saws and many hand tools.  ...READ MORE

Is Your Child Well Enough To Go To School?

By Julia McAlpin RN, District Nurse

It's hard sometimes to decide whether to send your child to school when he or she doesn't feel well. It is very seldom a convenient situation when your child is sick. Often, you have to consider work schedules, childcare arrangements, transportation and other family matters in that decision, and of course, you want what is best for your child's health.
