School District of Mondovi

The School District of Mondovi would like your input regarding the start of the 2020-2021 school year. There are numerous decisions yet to be made as to what the start of the school year will look like. The District will be continuing to follow DPI (Department of Public Instruction), DHS (Department of Health Services), CDC (Centers for Disease Control), and Coulee Compass recommendations in our planning for this fall. Depending on the risk levels and guidelines, we are currently planning for several options including: face-to-face instruction; at-home learning; and blended learning (a combination of classroom instruction and at-home learning). The information you provide us through this survey https://tinyurl.com/yc22dx7c will help guide our decisions and will help us develop a plan for the reopening of schools while doing what is possible to mitigate risk.​ If you have trouble opening the survey, try copying and posting this link to your browser: https://tinyurl.com/yc22dx7c

The forecast for this Saturday looks favorable for a 2:00 graduation ceremony. Please understand that a slight adjustment in time may be necessary due to scattered storms. In light of this, consider bringing an umbrella, towel, or stadium blanket for your seat.

Reminder - If you live within 2 miles of the school, you must pick up the free meals, we will not deliver. Thank you!

Just a reminder that next Friday, July 17 is the cut off date to register for summer school. We will be running face-to-face summer school from August 3-14. Free breakfast and lunch will be offered each day, and the district will also be providing transportation (normal summer school routes). If your child is entering 5K, 1st, 2nd, or 3rd grade, you should have received a ‘Bridging” registration form in the mail. Please contact the Elementary Office if you didn’t receive one. Students entering 4th-8th grade will register for one of our four “Clusters.” You can access that registration form by going to the School District of Mondovi’s homepage, click on the elementary school, and the registration form can be found when you hover over the summer school tab. Don’t forget to fill out the transportation information if your child plans to ride the bus. Completed registration forms that are mailed back must be postmarked no later than Friday, July 17. We will be closing registration as soon as we reach 15 students per class. We have four classes in a cluster - so no more than 60 students per cluster, and 2 bridging classes per grade - so no more than 30 students.

Graduation for the School District of Mondovi is scheduled to take place at 2:00 PM at the Football stadium on July 11th. The gate to the stadium will open at 1:00 PM. Staff will be on hand to assist with parking and seating. Please carpool to the best of your ability to limit the number of vehicles in the stadium parking area. In order to limit the necessity for large gatherings, there will not be a formal practice for graduates prior to the ceremony. Senior advisors will assist graduates during the ceremony, and Mr. Gray will give directions to graduates over the stadium sound system. All changes to graduates' ticket count will need to be communicated to Mr. Gray by 8:00 AM July 9th.

MESSAGE FROM THE COOKS: Thursday, May 28th will be the last day of delivery/pickup of school meals. June will be an especially busy time for Mondovi Schools as we are facing a 2 week power shutdown to the old electrical panels. The cafeteria will actually have a 3 week power shut down so they can convert all the big ovens and kettles over to the new system. Thanks to all who participated in the program. It was a privilege and an honor to serve you these last 2½ months. Everyone was so appreciative and understanding. We will miss you all this summer. Special thanks to all the people that donated milk, cheese curds, ice cream treats, and butter. This community rocks! Keep your eyes on Facebook, if everything goes as planned and power is restored there is a good possibility we could start pick-up only meals in July. Stay tuned!

Thank you local businesses for the cheese curd donation! #mondovipride
