It is National School Counseling Week!
“School counselors work with all students to remove barriers to learning by addressing students’ academic concerns, career options and social/emotional skills,” said Jill Cook, American School Counselor Association executive director. “School counseling programs help to increase student achievement and provide a much-needed resource for students, parents, teachers and administrators. School counselors are integral to student success.”
Thank you Aaron Hass, Michelle Lehman, and Abigail Kempf for all that you do to help our students succeed. #mondovipride

Open enrollment application period for 2023-24 school year opens Feb. 6
MADISON — The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction announced today the online application period for the Public School Open Enrollment Program for the 2023-24 school year opens next week.
Beginning Feb. 6, 2023, and running through April 28, 2023, parents and guardians can apply to send their children to any public school district in Wisconsin during the 2023-24 school year through the open enrollment program. Application materials and additional information on the program are available on the DPI’s website.
Districts are required to notify applicants by June 9, 2023, on the status of their open enrollment application. Transportation to and from a nonresident school, in most circumstances, is the responsibility of the parent or guardian. However, some school districts may provide partial transportation. To assist in submitting open enrollment applications, a directory of public school districts is available on the DPI’s website. Additional information from an open enrollment consultant is available toll-free by calling (888) 245-2732, or emailing openenrollment@dpi.wi.gov.
The Public School Open Enrollment program is funded by state general equalization aid transfers between sending and receiving school districts, with the transfer amount calculated on statutory provisions. For the 2022-23 school year, the transfer amount is an estimated $8,224 per student, or $13,076 for students with disabilities. Resident districts cannot deny a student’s open enrollment application for cost reasons.
For more information on the open enrollment program, visit the Wisconsin DPI’s webpage.
