WAVE 5-17-24 – North Lake School District (2024)

NEW SERVICE CLUB AT NLS

The 7th grade boys have been inspired to start a service club. All 7th grade boys will participate in the club during school hours and hopefully, leave a long lasting, Class of 2025 legacy in the North Lake Community. The leadership group is pictured below and the club is called FOOD FELLAS. FOOD FELLAS is partnering with the North Lake Food Pantry and hopes to fill the shelves with needed items for the summer.

FOOD FELLAS’ food drive information coming soon!

LAST DAY OF SCHOOL

Thursday, June 6th will be the North Lake School Family Picnic. Please RSVP by May 23rd.

Scheduled start times for student lunches:

Grades 5-8: 11:00-11:30 a.m.

Grades K-4: 11:30-12:00 p.m.

Parents, please feel free to take your child home with you after the picnic by letting your classroom teacher know. Although it is scheduled as full day of school, the majority of students go home early with their parents. There will be bus service for those who need it.

Flyers were sent home with students this week and can be found at the end of the WAVE and in the WAVE attachments.

DRESS CODE

Weather is getting warmer but that does not mean midriffs and bottoms should be shown! Please review the NLS dress code found in the Parent-Student Handbook with your middle school child and go shopping if your child has outgrown his or her clothing. Dress code violations are usually handled with a verbal warning but repeat violations will result in a behavioral referral.

Testing Update:

The Wisconsin Forward exam testing in grades 3-8 has been completed. We expect to receive the results in late July. Students and their families will receive a printed report in the fall.

End of year i-Ready testing for reading and math in grades 1-8, Literacy Tasks for grades K-2 and writing assessments in grades K-8 will be completed in the coming weeks. Classroom teachers will have results by Monday, June 3rd.

As always, please feel free to contact your child’s teachers or me with any questions.
