It is hard to believe that the first trimester of the school year is in the books! What a productive first trimester it was! Please take some time to reflect upon and celebrate the progress your student(s) have made since September. We are so proud of the work they put in each and every day.
Please keep in mind that the season for weather delays and cancellations is here. Remember to keep an eye on our local media for weather-related delays and cancellations. Our district website and district Facebook page are great places to find school-related announcements.
As the holidays near, it is our sincere hope that you are able to enjoy some extra time with those you love. We also recognize that the holidays can be a stressful time for any number of reasons. Please know that we are ready and willing to lend a hand should there be a need.
Happy Holidays!

The School District of Reedsburg's new school now has a name,
Prairie Ridge Intermediate School
. It was approved by the Board of Education during their meeting on Monday, November 19.
The name,
Prairie Ridge Intermediate School
, incorporates the building's themes of sandstone bluffs, agriculture, forest, industry, wetlands, the 400 trail, and the Baraboo River; along with the local area it resides. In addition, the name takes on the identity of the school, the students it will serve, and the educational culture created within.

Is Your Child Dressed For The Weather
|
|
- Cold weather season is upon us. Dress your child appropriately for the temperature. If you need assistance with providing winter clothing for your child, please contact Mr. Bierman at (608) 963-5278 or Mr. Peetz at (608) 768-8936.
- This is also a good time to check your child's book bag to make sure their extra change of clothes is appropriate for the weather. Food spills, bloody noses, wet clothes from the weather and bathroom accidents happen. Please be prepared so we don't have to call you to bring in a change of clothes.
Our weather procedure for colder weather is as follows:
If the temperature is below 50 degrees Fahrenheit, students should wear coats.
If it is between 50 - 55 degrees, a long sleeve shirt, a sweatshirt, or a fleece is acceptable; and if it is 55 degrees or above, a coat is not required.

The School District of Reedsburg has had a wonderful start to its year! "We are excited about each student's individual growth and achievements. As a learning community, we are continually looking to improve," says Linda Bruun, Director of Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment. "One source we use to reflect on our strengths and areas for improvement is the School Report Card."
The Department of Public Instruction (DPI) generates a School Report Card and District Report Card for every publicly funded school and district in the state. These public report cards can be found online at
https://apps2.dpi.wi.gov/reportcards/home
. The Report Cards are intended to help schools and districts use performance data to target improvement efforts that ensure students are ready for their next educational step – including the next grade level, graduation, college, and careers.

Universal Free School Breakfast Program
is available to all students K-8 every school day. No advanced registration is necessary. These supervised meals are nutritionally balanced and vary daily. School Breakfast is an ideal solution for busy mornings when kids are running late or parents have early work schedules. Oftentimes, kids are not hungry when they first wake up but are ready to eat when school begins. Studies have shown that children who eat a nutritious breakfast have better behavior, better attendance, and improved test scores.
