Parents of elementary aged students,
School pictures will be arriving tomorrow, Wednesday, November 11.  We will plan to hand them out during our student material pick-up on Friday, November 13.  We will be sending out another message soon to families that includes the times and locations for those pick-ups.
If your child didn’t have their picture taken, or if you would like re-takes, we have scheduled retakes for Wednesday, December 16th.  We are planning to begin with an 8:00 AM - noon re-take schedule.  If there is a need, we would extend it further into the day.  Re-take pictures would not be available until sometime in January, 2021.  Parents can contact Leah Bursaw in the elementary office (715-926-3645) to sign their child up for a 10 minute re-take appointment.  You will have until Friday, December 4th to schedule an appointment.  One parent will be allowed to come into the building with their child.  I will share more details at a later date with the families that have signed up for re-takes.
Thanks-
Mr. Franzwa

This message is intended for our 3rd-5th grade families and is to inform you about our student material pickup tomorrow - Tuesday, Nov. 3.
The pickup will be located on Mill Street
The times are 11:30-1:00 and 3:00-4:30
We will have a designated area for each grade level (3rd, 4th, and 5th).  Look for the grade level signs signs.
As you pull up to your designated area, there will be an adult that will greet you and ask you your child's name.  Please stay in your vehicle.  We will bring your child's materials out to you.
If you are the parent of a fifth grade student and you received materials last Friday, you will still need to come during one of the designated times tomorrow to pick up some additional materials.    
Thank you!

As we approach the end of our reopening window (9/1 - 10/30), I would like to inform you of a few changes that we are planning for with our in-person learning starting on Monday, Nov. 2.  
1.  We are planning to maintain our cohort model, but we will be re-implementing the traditional model of specials (art, music, PE)  back into the schedule.  
2.  All students will be dismissed at the same time and we will only offer the 3:30 bus route.  If your child currently goes home at 2:30, and their destination will change due to the 3:30 dismissal for all students, please contact the elementary office (715) 926-3645.  
3.  The after-school homework club will no longer be offered.
If your child is currently receiving their education remotely, please call the office by Friday, October 23.  At that time we would like you to let us know if your child will continue with remote learning, or if they will return for in-person learning on November 2nd.  The phone number is (715) 926-3645.  
We have also been working on a separate plan in the event that we need to transition to 100% remote learning at any time.  The district would provide chromebooks to all elementary students, and is prepared to accommodate families with internet connectivity issues.  There would be a two day buffer of no school before starting the 100% remote schedule to allow staff and families the opportunity to get everything prepared, dispersed, and collected. 
Flu shot consent forms need to be turned in to Sue Poeschel, School Nurse, by tomorrow, 10/14/20.

Parents - we have recently had a lot of unsafe and inappropriate behavior by some unsupervised students on the elementary playground during after school hours.  We have decided to lock the playground starting at 3:45 each night, and not allow students to use it.  We will communicate with you if anything changes in the future.

3rd graders are ready for Homecoming 

 Mondovi High School will be having an abbreviated Homecoming Parade today at 3:10 PM.  The parade route is not the traditional route through town, instead it is limited to a walking parade around the perimeter of the school.  The parade is intended for student viewing, however, we will be live streaming the parade on Buffalo TV  starting at approximately 3:10 PM.  If community members are present for the parade, please know that it is expected that all students, staff, and community members are to be wearing facial coverings and do their best to distance themselves from others.  Thank you and GO BUFFS!
