Dear Parents & Caregivers,

It’s a little more than a month before the start of the 2023-24 school year. In the upcoming weeks, many high school activities will resume, signifying the end of summer recess is soon upon us. While every summer is busy with many activities, it’s always exciting to begin a new school year!

As a reminder to all recipients of this e-newsletter, our annual all-school registration is scheduled for Thursday, August 3, 2023, and will take place at Wisconsin Dells High School from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Most of the registration format will be very similar to years past; however, one exception is there will not be any school pictures as part of this day. School pictures will occur early in the school year as part of a regular school day. You can expect more details via our social media channels, email, and phone messages for parents & caregivers. We look forward to seeing you on August 3rd!
