2019-20 School Year is Almost Here! Submitted by: Kyle Cronan, Superintendent/7-12 Principal

The schools continue to be active places as summer school gets underway, students are

participating in summer band or sports, the maintenance staff is busy and teachers are

preparing for the next school year. The big difference this summer over the past several

has been the vast quantities of rain that we have received so far.

As with the past few years, we have again expanded our staff due to increasing enrollment over

the past four years. We will be welcoming additional teachers in English and Special Education. We

have also experienced a few staff departures that we are working to replace. We wish Mrs. Blokhuis,

Mrs. Vruwink, Mrs. Gibbs and Mr. Crandall well in your future endeavors. At the time of the writing of

this newsletter, we are still working to fill a few of these open positions as some just recently became

vacant.

During the summer months, the maintenance and upkeep of the school buildings swings into full

gear. Over the past four years we have done several projects during the summer associated with both

energy efficiency and school safety. This summer, while we don’t have major capital improvements

scheduled, we do have several smaller projects that will address some areas of need. At the elementary

school, a new electrical service into the building is being installed. At the middle/high school building

both gymnasium floors are receiving a maintenance seal coat. Additionally, a sidewalk on the south-side

of the building will be replaced and we are working to address an issue with peeling paint on the pillars

outside the main entrance.

During this school year, we will work on long awaited and much needed updates to several areas

of our curriculum. For instance, our science curriculum has not experienced a major review in several

years and so this staff is excited to get started in making these updates. Curriculum updates were a part

of the needs identified through the referendum process this past year. While we will not be able to

update or review all areas of curriculum at once, we will begin the process this year with the goal of a

full curriculum review over the course of the next several years.

I want to extend open arms to welcome all of our new students, families and staff this fall. This

year, we will invite our students and families to meet the new staff and tour the schools on Wednesday,

August 28th for Back to School Night. With the new school year, I want to reaffirm my commitment to

continue the tradition in Port Edwards of providing a personalized and high quality educational

experience for each student. Our community is a great place to raise children and our school provides the

foundation for the future success of the students served.

Elementary School News Submitted by: Cara Christy, 4K-6 Principal

Happy Summer! As our students enjoy their last few weeks of summer,

we are in full-swing here at school preparing for another exciting year.

This summer, our elementary school hosted our annual summer school

program in June. Once again, our attendance at summer school was high

and our students had fun learning while taking both academic and

enrichment classes. We had some new offerings this year, such as “Grow Garden Grow” and

“Sign Language”. We also offered some classes that are yearly student favorites where students

went fishing, cooked healthy snacks, made clay creations, played chess, learned about outer

space, created fun crafts, and wrote and published their very own books! We are so fortunate to

have such wonderful summer school teachers who make learning fun for everyone.

Looking ahead, Back-To-School Night is right around the corner on August 28th and will begin

at 4pm at the elementary school. This is a great opportunity to meet your child’s teacher, bring

in school supplies, and sign up for fall parent-teacher conference dates. We hope to see you

there!

Once school gets underway, we will once again offer our Morning Reading Program before

school and Boys & Girls Club after-school program. Boys & Girls Club is open to any students

ages 6 and up. Our Morning Reading Program begins at 7am and any elementary student may

attend. Please remember that children must be signed in to Morning Reading in the library. The

building is not open for student drop-off until 7:45am and students who are not signed into

morning reading will not be able to enter the building before this time.

Please enjoy the rest of your summer break. I look forward to seeing all of you for the 2019-20

school year!

Welcome to the Safety Zone A Service of Lamers Bus Lines

From everyone at Lamers Bus Lines: Welcome Back!

We’re working to update the school bus routes for the coming school year. Your

child’s approximate pickup time will remain the same as last year. Postcards will NOT be sent

out unless there is more than a 5 minute change. All students new to the district will receive a

postcard the week of August 26th with busing information. Parochial school students will

receive a letter detailing special transportation dates during the 2019/2020 school year.

Please bear with us the first week as routes may not run on time. Our bus drivers will do their

best to maintain their time schedules, but we also need your help. Students must be outside and

waiting for the bus 5 minutes prior to their approximate pickup time to help us maintain our

schedule. We will not return for students who miss the bus due to not being outside. Please

note, students will not be allowed to board the

bus unless wearing appropriate footwear.

If you have any questions, please call us at 715-

421-2400 option 2, and we will be glad to help.

For Your Child’s Safety

Please utilize the drop off and pick up area for the elementary children. To relieve congestion,

particularly at dismissal time, use the parking directly across from the K-4 building, eliminating

the need for your child to cross the street.

Crossing guards are on duty from 7:55am until 8:25am and again from 3-3:30pm to assist your

students.

Also, please do not park within the yellow-lined areas at the bus entrance. Our buses need a

wide turning radius as they enter the driveway. The village and the school district will work to

keep these areas as clear of snow as possible.

Last but certainly not least, please remember to always make sure that your children “buckle-

up”!

Work Permits, Notary Services, Photocopying, Faxing available to Residents As a service to our students, Stacie Kleifgen is authorized by the State of Wisconsin to issue

work permits. The following documentation must be presented when applying for a work

permit: a letter of intent from the employer stating the student’s hours and job assignment(s), a

letter of permission from the parent, birth certificate or driver’s license, and social security

card. There is a $10 cost.

Other services available to our district residents include photocopying, faxing, and notarizing

of documents. The charge for photocopying is $.10 per page; faxing is $.50 per page. Lisa

Miller, central office, is licensed by the State of Wisconsin to serve as a notary public. There is

no charge for this service.

MORNING READING PROGRAM RESUMES!

Our enthusiastic staff at the elementary building will be prepared to resume Morning Reading Program

activities on the first day of school.

This free program, held in the IMC, runs from 7:00 until school breakfast is served at 7:45. The program

is open to students in grades 4K– 4, Monday through Friday and coincides with the district calendar. If

there is no school for students, there will be no Morning Reading Program that day, or any day school is

closed due to inclement weather. Students may arrive at school anytime during this time frame.

Doors will not open until 7:00 a.m. Parents/guardians will be required to come into the building to

sign in their child each day that he/she attends the program. Parents may not drop off/leave

students unaccompanied in the school lobby. Because this is a voluntary program, please be aware

that there will be no transportation provided and that there will be no crossing guards on duty this

early in the morning. At 7:45 a.m., after awakening their minds with a good book, students can go

into the cafeteria to jump-start their bodies by eating a nutritious breakfast or to be supervised in the

gym. Playground supervision will begin at 8:00 a.m. as usual.

The program is structured around engaging themes. The children take part in learning center activities

and games, as well as silent reading. The morning is supervised by a teacher’s assistant. This initiative

meets the community need for high quality before-school activities and increases student learning

opportunities. At 7:30 the children are treated to a read aloud by volunteers from the Port Edwards

community. This is definitely one of the most popular parts of the program. We are seeking community

volunteers, retired or not, to be guest readers, or to listen to the children read. If you are interested in

doing so, please return the form in this newsletter or call the elementary school office at 715-887-9070 to

be added to our list.

We have received very positive feedback from parents and students about this fun and engaging

extension of the school day.

Mrs. Cathy Guse will be periodically visiting our Morning Reading Program with her certified therapy

dog, Kota. Students, with parental permission, practice their oral reading skills by reading to these

special, canine guests. Students that do not have permission to interact with the dogs will do an alternate

activity. Let us know on the enrollment form if your child is allergic to dogs.

If you would like to send your child to the Morning Reading Program, please complete the enrollment

form on the next page of this newsletter and return it to the school office. We will have enrollment

forms available for parents at the Back-to-School Night and on the first day of school. If you have any

questions, you may call the elementary school office at 715-887-9070.

Boys and Girls Club Welcomes You The Port Edwards Elementary School Boys & Girls Club site invites students to their program this fall.

Boys & Girls Club will be open after school five days a week, Monday-Friday from 3:12-6pm starting

on the first day of school. Stop by the office to sign up.

The Port Edwards site is open to all youth between the ages of 6-12. Yearly membership fees are $20 per

child. Memberships may be used at any one of the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Wis. Rapids area locations.

The club offers a safe, positive place for youth to go after school and offers a wide variety of programs

and activities including Power Hour (homework help). For further information, please contact the Boys

ANNUAL NOTICES District Asbestos Plan

In compliance with the United States

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and

the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response

Act (AHERA), this is notice that the Port

Edwards School District has an Asbestos

Management Plan at the school district office.

The plan is available for inspection by the

public, parents, and district employees. The

district performs six month periodic

surveillance of asbestos in March and

September and full re-inspections every three

year. For more information please contact the

district office.

District Indoor Environmental Quality

Management Plan

The Port Edwards School District would

like to inform staff, students, parents and the

public of the district’s indoor environmental

quality (IEQ) management plan. The plan was

initially developed in 2013 and is reviewed as

necessary. The plan was developed as deemed

appropriate for the district. Question and

concerns should be directed to the IEQ

Coordinator. Copes of the plan are available at

the district office for a fee. The district office

is located at 801 2nd St., Port Edwards, WI

54469.

Smoking on School Grounds

Prohibited The use of tobacco products on school

premises is prohibited by state statutes and

board of education policy. This includes

buildings and all grounds, including athletic

facilities. Smoking or other use of tobacco and

nicotine products is prohibited at all school

activities including football, baseball, softball,

cross country, and track events. Look-alike

products, such as but not limited to e-

cigarettes, are also prohibited. Adults who

violate these rules will be asked to stop the

practice or leave the premises. Students who

violate these rules by use or possession of

tobacco will face disciplinary action by the

administration according to rules outlined in

the student handbook.

Right to a Free and Appropriate

Public Education Every child in the country has the right to a

free public education—without exception. Not

only is it an American tradition it’s the law of

the land. “Every” child includes the child with

a special problem or “handicap”. A handicap

may be due to a physical, mental, emotional,

or learning problem. In addition, homeless

children and youth must have equal access to

the same free, appropriate public education

provided to other children residing in the

district and be provided with comparable

services. Homeless children/youth cannot be

required to attend a separate school or

program for homeless children and must not

be stigmatized by school personnel.

The School District of Port Edwards, in

compliance with state and federal laws,

periodically attempts to identify all children

in the district through the age of 21 who

appear to have exceptional educational needs

and who may not be receiving special

educational help available from the school

system. Please read the following three

questions. If your answer is “yes” to any of

these questions, your child may be eligible

for special help to improve his or her

learning:

Do you have a preschool child who

seems to have many problems with

physical development, vision or

hearing, emotional/behavioral

adjustment, speech or language, or

learning in general? (These services

may be provided to children who are

not yet of school age.)

Do you have a child presently enrolled

in school who appears to have severe

learning problems, but is not receiving

adequate special help at school?

Do you have an older child, under

twenty-one years of age, who had

many learning problems during school,

but dropped out of school before high

school graduation?

Your child might qualify for special

educational services to help him/her learn as

well as possible. Such services would be

available through the school system at no cost

to you. If you feel your child might need

special help in order to obtain an appropriate

education, please telephone one of the

following persons:

Kyle Cronan, Superintendent

715-887-9000, ext. 102

Cara Chrisy,

Exceptional Education Director

715-887-9000, ext. 101

If you contact the district, the information

you provide will be treated confidentially, and

will be used to help determine whether your

child might be helped through use of an

Exceptional Education program. If any special

program is recommended, the program

recommendations will first be discussed with

you, and you will be asked for your written

permission to enroll your child.

Educational Records Federal law requires that the district annually

state the district policy regarding the release

of student records. The district policy is as

follows:

All parents, guardians, and adult-age

students have he right of access to each

education record that the school

district keeps on that student.

The school has a written policy

covering access, maintenance, and

disclosure of these records. A copy of

this policy may be obtained through

the superintendent’s office.

The school may disclose “personally

identifiable information” known as

directory information (name, address,

telephone, date & place of birth, major

field of study, activities, sports, weight

and height for programs, dates of

attendance, photographs, degrees and

awards received and the name of the

school most recently/previously

attended) without obtaining parental or

adult-student permission, unless the

school superintendent is requested in

writing not to release specified

directory information. The written

request must be received in the

superintendent’s office within ten days

of filing this notice. Directory

information includes the following

examples; press releases, athletic

programs, which may include personal

statistics, scholastic and social

achievements.

Parents/guardian or adult students have

the right to file a complaint with the

Family Policy Compliance Office of

the U.S. Department of Education

alleging district noncompliance with

FERPA requirements.

School Districts are required to make

student records available to “law

enforcement officers who are

individually designated by the school

board and assigned to the school

district, in addition to district

employees who are required by the

DPI to hold a license, and to other

school district officials who have been

determined by the school board to

have legitimate educational interests,

including safety interests, in the

records.

Human Growth and Development The Port Edwards School District will

include instruction in physiology and

hygiene, including instruction on sexually

transmitted diseases, in its high school

curriculum.

Instruction in human immunodeficiency

virus and acquired immunodeficiency

syndrome (AIDS) may be included in the K-

12 human growth and development

Parents may inspect the actual curriculum

and instructional materials by contacting the

district curriculum coordinators:

K-6 Cara Christy, 715-887-9000

7-12 Kyle Cronan, 715-887-9000

the right of parents to inspect instructional

materials and to deny their child’s participation

in certain curricular activities. The District also

recognizes that reasonable accommodations

with regard to examinations and other academic

requirements may have to be made from time to

time because of a student’s sincerely held

religious beliefs. Requests regarding the above

may be made to the building principal. If a

parent/guardian is not satisfied with the

principal’s decision, he or she may appeal to

the Superintendent, and if necessary to the

Board of Education.

Compulsory Student Attendance Except as provided by State Statute and

unless the child is excused or has graduated

from high school, any person having under

their control a child who is between the ages of

6 and 18 years shall cause the child to attend

school regularly during the full period and

hours, religious holidays excepted, that the

public or private school in which the child

should be enrolled is in session until the end of

the school term, quarter, or semester of the

school year in which the child becomes 18

years of age. WI Act 41 requires a child who is

enrolled in 5-year-old kindergarten in a public

or private school to regularly attend

kindergarten during the school year. With

certain exceptions, the law also requires a child

to complete 5-year-old kindergarten as a

prerequisite to being admitted to first grade in a

public school.

A parent or guardian may excuse a child from

school attendance for not more than ten (10)

school days in a school year. Such absences

include, but are not limited to: injury/illness,

medical/dental appointments, family vacations,

college visits, etc. The parent/guardian is to

provide the school with a written (or verbal)

excuse for each absence including the date of

the absence, the number of days absent, and the

reason for the absence before the absence is to

take place. A student is considered truant from

school if he/she is absent from school for part

or all of one or more school days during which

the school has not been notified of the cause of

such absence by the parent/guardian and/or the

absence is in excess of the ten (10) approved

absence days allowed by law and is not a

school approved absence.

A student is considered a habitual truant if he/

she is absent from school without an acceptable

excuse for part or all of five or more days on

which school is held during a semester. The

parent/guardian of a student who is at risk of

being a habitual truant shall be notified by mail.

Legal proceedings may be brought against a

student for habitual truancy or against the

parent/guardian for failure to cause the student

to attend school regularly.

Student Nondiscrimination in

Relation to Career and Technical

Education Students, parents/guardians, employees and

general public be advised that all career and

technical education opportunities will be

provided on a nondiscriminatory basis and will

be subject to the District Nondiscrimination and

Access to Equal Education Opportunity Policy

(policy #2260)

Student Nondiscrimination and

Access to Equal Educational

Opportunity Port Edwards School District is committed to

providing an equal educational opportunity for

all students in the District.

The District does not discriminate on the basis

of race, color, religion, national origin,

ancestry, creed, pregnancy, marital status,

parental status, sexual orientation, sex,

(including transgender status, change of sex or

gender identity), or physical, mental,

emotional, or learning disability ("Protected

Classes") in any of its student program and

activities. This policy is intended to support and

promote nondiscriminatory practices in all

District and school activities, particularly in the

following areas:

A. use of objective bases for admission to any

school, class, program, or activity;

B. prohibition of harassment towards students

and procedures for the investigation of claims

(see Policy 5517);

C. use of disciplinary authority, including

suspension and expulsion authority;

D. administration of gifts, bequests,

scholarships and other aids, benefits, or

services to students from private agencies,

organizations, or persons;

E. selection of instructional and library media

materials in a nondiscriminatory manner and

that reflect the cultural diversity and pluralistic

nature of American society;


F. design and implementation of student

evaluation practices, materials, and tools, but

not at the exclusion of implementing

techniques to meet students' individual

needs;

G. design and configuration of facilities;

H. opportunity for participation in extra-

curricular and co-curricular activities,

provided that separate programs for male and

female students may be available provided

comparable activities are made available to all

in terms of type, scope, and District support;

and

the school lunch program and other school-

sponsored food service programs.

The District is also committed to equal

employment opportunity in its employment

policies and practices as they relate to

students. The Board’s policies pertaining to

employment practices can be found in Policy

1422, Policy 3122, and Policy 4122 -

Nondiscrimination and Equal Employment

Opportunity.

Students, parents and all other members of

the School District community are encouraged

to promptly report suspected violations of this

policy to a teacher or administrator. Any

teacher or administrator who receives such a

complaint shall file it with the District’s

Compliance Officer at his/her first

opportunity.

Students who believe they have been

denied equal access to District educational

opportunities, in a manner inconsistent with

this policy may initiate a complaint and the

investigation process that is set forth below.

Initiating a complaint will not adversely affect

the complaining individual's participation in

educational or extra-curricular programs

unless the complaining individual makes the

complaint maliciously or with knowledge that

it is false.

Access to Students by Military

Recruiters, Prospective Employers

and Post-secondary Institutions Federal law mandates the release of the

name, address and telephone number of your

child to military recruiters, prospective

employers or institutions of higher learning. It

is the policy of the Port Edwards School

District that military recruiters, prospective

employers and post-secondary intuitions will

be allowed access to its students, with the

exception of those students who have

themselves filed an objection, or whose parent

has filed an objection on their behalf. If you

do not want your child’s name, address and

telephone listing provided to military

recruiters, prospective employers, or

institutions of higher education, an objection

to the release of such information must be on

file in the JEHS office. Copies of the

objection form will be provided to students.

Programs for English Language

Learners The Board of Education of the Port Edwards

School District recognizes that within the

district there may be children whose primary

language is not English. With that in mind, the

Board shall provide appropriate services for

district students who possess limited or no

command of the English language. The

purpose of these services will be to help

students acquire English language skills that

will enable them to function successfully in an

all English classroom and to meet established

academic standards.

Specialized instructional materials and

techniques designed to teach English to

speakers of other languages shall be used in

the district. The degree of curricular and

instructional modification, type of support

services, and their duration shall be

determined individually and be based on

student need. If a sufficient number of the

limited English proficient students identified

are of the same language group to meet

statutory requirements, a bilingual-bicultural

education program will be established.

Education of Homeless Children

and Youth In accordance with sate and federal law, it is

the policy of the Port Edwards School District

that homeless children and youth must have

equal access to the same free, appropriate

public education as provided to to other

children residing in the district and be

provided with comparable services. Homeless

children/youth will not be required to attend a

separate school or program for homeless

children and will not be stigmatized by school

personnel.

If you are a homeless child or youth, the

parent of a homeless child or youth, or are

aware of a homeless child or youth within the

Port Edwards School District, please contact

the school district’s designated liaison for

homeless children and youth, Kyle Cronan, at

715-887-9000, ext. 102.

Student Locker Searches Students will be assigned locks and lockers

by the school. Lockers are the property of the

school and are not under the exclusive control

of the student. Lockers may be inspected and

searched at any time by the school or other

authorities. If illegal substances or contraband

is found, the matter will be refereed to proper

legal authorities. Use of canine units to

inspect lockers will take place periodically at

the discretion of school administration.

Additional information can be found in the

student handbook.

Student Privacy To ensure the privacy of its students, the Port

Edwards School District will notify parents

when the following activities are scheduled or

expected to be scheduled:

Activities involving the collection,

disclosure or use of personal information

collected from students for the purpose

of marketing or for selling that

information (or otherwise providing that

information to others for that purpose).

School and District Performance

Reports Each year, public school districts in

Wisconsin are required to share student

achievement data. Multiple measures of

student learning are used to measure school

performance and student achievement. Access

to student achievement data compiled by the

District and the Department of Public

Instruction on assessments, attendance,

discipline, graduate rates, truancy, drop-outs,

retentions, academic course work and

financial information may be found by

visiting the Wisconsin District & School

Performance Reports webpage at https://

apps2.dpi.wi.gov/sdpr/spr.action. Links are

also available through the

www.pesd.k12.wi.us webpage by clicking on

the “District” tab, then “Legal, Public and

Parent Notices” tab. If you do not have Web

access, contact the District administrative

office at 715-887-9000 to request specific

information or data you are interested in.

Student Assessments The State of Wisconsin Student Assessment

System (WSAS) is a comprehensive statewide

program designed to provide information

about what students know and are able to do

in core academic areas. Information on both

state and district annual assessments

(including the subject matter assessed, the

purpose of the assessment, the source of the

requirement for the assessment, and, when

available, the assessment schedule and format

for disseminating results) are available

through the www.pesd.k12.wi.us webpage by

clicking on the “District” tab, then “Legal,

Public and Parent Notices” tab. Parents will

also be notified of specific assessment

information prior to each test administration

via building newsletters and websites. Parents

may request information regarding state or

local school district policy regarding student

participation in any mandated assessments by

contacting the School Counseling Department

at 715-887-9000. Parents may opt their

student out of a state or district assessment by

submitting a written request to the building

principal per Wis. Stats. 118.30(2)(b)3. This

request may come at any time during the

testing window. All students excused by

parent opt-out are marked as “not tested”

students in school and district reporting

Medication in School The State Law states no medication can be

provided by the school district. Parents/

guardians must bring all medication from

home in its original container with the name,

dosage appropriate for your child's age and in

a sealed container with your child’s name

labeled on the package or bottle. This law

includes both prescription an over-the-counter

mediations, including cough drops.

ALL OVER-THE-COUNTER

MEDICATONS require a signed parent/

guardian consent form for over-the-

counter medication in the school before

their child can be given the medication.

ALL PRESCRIPTION DRUGS require a

parent consent AND a physician's

consent on file for your child to receive

the medication in the school.

Medications will not be given unless

these requirements are met.

Forms can be accessed on the nurse’s web

page or the office. Please make sure you take

or request a form any time your child goes to

the doctor. When taking your child to the

doctor, always request a physician’s consent

to give medication in school and a doctor’s

excuse for the absence. If these completed

forms are not on file in the nurses' office, you

will be called and asked to come to school to

give the medication until these requirements

are completed. All long-term medications are

required to have a new consent form filled out

on a yearly basis according to the Wisconsin

Sate Law.

All questions can be directed to the School

Nurse, at 715-887-9000 ext. 202.

Required medication forms can be obtained

from any of the school offices. Please obtain

these forms and take them to your doctor to be

filled out so there will be no delay in

medicating your child at school.

Meningococcal Disease Information Public health authorities recommend that

teenagers and college-bound students be

immunized against a potentially fatal

bacterial infection called meningococcal

disease, a type of meningitis.

The Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention (CDC) and other leading medical

organizations recommend routine

meningococcal immunization for adolescents

during the preadolescent doctor’s visit (11-

to 12-year-olds), adolescents at high school

entry (15-year-olds) if they have not

previously been immunized, and for college

freshmen living in dormitories.

Meningococcal disease is a rare but

potentially fatal bacterial infection that can

cause severe swelling of the brain and spinal

cord (meningitis) or a serious blood infection

(meningococcemia). The disease can be

transmitted through close contact with an

infected person by way of respiratory and/or

oral secretions (for example, through sharing

drink containers or kissing). Meningococcal

disease strikes up to 3,000 Americans each

year; nearly 30 percent of these cases are

among teenagers and college students.

Meningococcal disease can be misdiagnosed

as something less serious, because early

symptoms like high fever, severe headache,

nausea, vomiting and stiff neck, are similar

to those of common viral illnesses. The

disease can progress rapidly and can cause

death or permanent disability within 48 hours

of initial symptoms.

A meningococcal vaccine is available for use

among persons aged 11 to 55 years, which

provides protection against four of the five

types of bacteria that cause meningococcal

disease. Many parents are unaware of the

dangers the disease poses to their children

and that a vaccine is available that may help

to prevent up to 83 percent of cases among

teens and college students. Immunization is

the most effective way to prevent this very

serious disease.

To learn more about meningococcal disease

or vaccine information, feel free to contact

your school nurse or visit the following web

sites:

www.cdc.gov - This CDC website

includes the CDC recommendations and

information on the meningococcal

vaccine.

SCHOOL DISTRICT OF PORT EDWARDS


The School District of Port Edwards, in compliance with state and federal laws, periodically attempts to identify all children in the

district through the age of 21 who appear to have exceptional educational needs and who may not be receiving special educational

help available from the school system.

State and federal laws require that a free appropriate public education be made available to any child, regardless of any disability

he or she might have. In an effort to avoid overlooking any children who may need a special program, this request for help is be-

ing made to all families residing in the district.

Please read the following three questions. If your answer is “yes” to any of these questions, your child may be eligible for special

help to improve his or her learning.

1. Do you have a preschool child who seems to have many problems with physical development, vision or hearing, emo-

tional/behavioral adjustment, speech or language, or learning in general? (These services may be provided to children

who are not yet of school age.)

2. Do you have a child presently enrolled in school who appears to have severe learning problems, but is not receiving ade-

quate special help at school?

3. Do you have an older child, under twenty-one years of age, who had many learning problems during school, but dropped

out of school before high school graduation?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, your child might qualify for special educational services to help him/her learn as

well as possible. Such services would be available through the school system at no cost to you.

If you feel your child might need special help in order to obtain an appropriate education, please fill out and return this form to

the School District by mail, or telephone one of the following persons:

Kyle Cronan, Superintendent Cara Christy, Exceptional Education Director

801 2nd Street 801 2nd Street

Port Edwards, WI 54469 Port Edwards, WI 54469

715-887-9000 715-886-8090

If you contact us, the information you provide will be treated confidentially, and will be used to help us determine whether your

child might be helped through use of an Exceptional Education program. If any special program is recommended, the program

recommendations will first be discussed with you, and you will be asked for your written permission to enroll your child.

The Port Edwards School District does not discriminate against pupils on the basis of sex, race, religion, national origin, ancestry, color , creed, pregnancy,

marital or parental status, sexual orientation, or physical, mental, emotional, or learning disability or handicap in its education programs or activities.

Federal law prohibits discrimination in employment on the basis of age, race, color, national origin, sex or handicap.

CHILD FIND INFORMATION REQUEST

Annual Notice Of Special Education Referral And Evaluation Procedures

Upon request, the Port Edwards School District is required to evaluate a child for eligibility for special education services. A request for evaluation

is known as a referral. When the district receives a referral, the district will appoint an Individualized Education Program (IEP) team to determine

if the child has a disability, and if the child needs special education services. The district locates, identifies, and evaluates all children with

disabilities who are enrolled by their parents in private (including religious) schools, elementary schools and secondary schools located in the

school district.

A physician, nurse, psychologist, social worker, or administrator of a social agency who reasonably believes a child brought to him or her for

services is a child with a disability has a legal duty to refer the child, including a homeless child, to the school district in which the child resides.

Before referring the child, the person making the referral must inform the child's parent that the referral will be made.

Others, including parents, who reasonably believe a child is a child with a disability may also refer the child, including a homeless child, to the

school district in which the child resides.

Referrals must be in writing and include the reason why the person believes the child is a child with a disability. A referral may be made by

contacting the Director of Special Education, at 715-887-9000, or by writing him/her at 801 Second Street, Port Edwards, WI

54469.

Port Edwards School District

Children need healthy meals to learn.

The Port Edwards School District offers

healthy meals every school day.

Your child may qualify for free meals

or for reduced price meals, or free milk

under the Special Milk Program or the

Wisconsin School Day Milk Program.

To apply for free or reduced price

meals or milk, use the Free and Reduced

Price School Meals Application that will

be available in the school offices. We

cannot approve an application that is not

complete, so be sure to fill out all

required information. Return the

completed application to:

Food Service Director

Port Edwards Public Schools

801 Second Street


The Port Edwards School District

announced its policy for children unable

to pay the full price of meals served

under the National School Lunch

Program and School Breakfast Program

or milk for split-session students served

under the Special Milk Program. Each

school office and the central office has a

copy of the policy, which may be

reviewed by any interested party.

The Federal Income Eligibility

Guidelines will be used for determining

eligibility. Children from families whose

annual income is at or below the Federal

Guidelines are eligible for free and

reduced price meals or free milk, if a

split-session student does not have

access to the school lunch or breakfast

service.

The information provided on the

application will be used for the purpose

of determining eligibility and may be

verified at any time during the school

year by school or other program

officials. Applications may be submitted

at any time during the year.

To obtain free or reduced price meals

or free milk for children for whom

households receive FoodShare FDPIR,

or Wisconsin Works (W-2) cash benefits,

an adult member needs only to list the

names of the school children, give

FoodShare, FDPIR or W-2 case number

for each child, sign his/her name and

return the application to the school

office.

For the school officials to determine

eligibility for free or reduced price meals

or free milk of households not receiving

FoodShare, FDPIR or W-2, the

household must provide the following

information requested on the application:

names of all household members, and the

social security number of the adult

household member who signs the

application. In lieu of a social security

number, the household may indicate that

the signer does not possess a social

security number. Also, the income

received by each household member

must be provided by amount and source

(wages, welfare, child support, etc.).

Under the provisions of the free and

reduced price meal and free milk policy,

we will review applications and

determine eligibility. If a parent or

guardian is dissatisfied with the ruling of

the official, he/she may wish to discuss

the decision with the determining official

on an informal basis. If the parent/

guardian wishes to make a formal

appeal, he/she may make a request either

orally or in writing to,

[email protected] . If a hearing is

needed to appeal the decision, the policy

contains an outline of the hearing

procedure.

If a household member becomes

unemployed or if the household size

changes, the family should contact the

school. Such changes may make the

household eligible for reduced price

meals or free meals or free milk if the

household income falls at or below the

designated levels, and they may reapply

at that time.

In most cases, foster children are also

eligible for these benefits. If a household

has foster children living with them and

wishes to apply for free or reduced price

meals, the household should complete an

application for a family of one or contact

the school for more information.

The information provided by the

household on the application is

confidential. Public Law 103-448 does

authorize the release of student free and

reduced price school meal eligibility

status to persons directly connected with

the administration and enforcement of

federal or state educational programs.

In accordance with Federal law and

U.S. Department of Agriculture policy,

this institution is prohibited from

discriminating on the basis of race, color,

national origin, sex, age, or disability.

To file a complaint of discrimination

write USDA, Director, Office of Civil

Rights, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW

Washington, D.C. 20250-9410 or call

(800) 795-3272 or (202) 720-6382

(TTY). USDA is an equal opportunity

provider and employer. Any questions

regarding the application should be

directed to the determining official.

All questions may be directed to 715-

887-9000.

Important Information about

Automated Food Service Program

* Each K-12 student will be issued an

identification number at the beginning of

the year. This number will be used

throughout the school year.

* When the student goes through the

lunch line, he/she will enter their number

into a computer that will be monitored

by the lunchroom supervisor. When the

computer receives the number, it will

automatically deduct the amount for the

lunch (free, reduced or full price) from

the student’s account.

* Please send only one check for all

members of the family. In the memo

line, designate how the money should be

divided among your family.


* Meals are to be paid for in

advance. Payments can be made in

person with cash or check or on

Infinite Campus by credit card. For

your convenience, a locked deposit

box is located in the central office at

the middle/high school building.

Parents are strongly discouraged

from mailing cash or sending cash

payments to school with students.

* Families that qualified for free or

reduced meals last year will be given

a 30 school day “grace period” for

the same benefits. If a completed

application is not returned to school

by October 15, 2019, those families

will be charged full price for their

meals.

* Students who qualify for free or

reduced price meals do not need

special ID numbers. The computer

will be programmed to recognize

your child’s ID number for free or

reduced price meals and to ensure

confidentiality.

* The district’s automated food

service program has always been

operated as a debit, not a credit

system, in which parents must

maintain a positive balance in their

child’s account in order to guarantee

food service for their children. We

are appreciative of the vast majority

of families who have maintained

positive balances with regular

deposits.

* A complete record of your child’s

purchases and information

concerning the current balance of

your child’s account is available

upon request by calling

715-887-9000, or checking Infinite

Campus.

Parents/guardians are

requested to make initial

deposits to their family

accounts prior

to September 1st.

Seniors Invited to Take

Advantage of School Lunch Our most deserving senior citizens

(age 60 or older, and their spouse,

regardless of age) are welcome to

participate in the school lunch

program at the high school cafeteria.

Please notify the kitchen in advance

at extension 209 on days you wish to

join us.

Start Your Day Off Right

With a Nutritious Breakfast! Breakfast will be available to K-4

students starting on the first day of

school. If your child desires

breakfast he/she is to report to the

cafeteria upon arrival. The

elementary school cafeteria will

open for breakfast at 7:45 a.m. All

breakfast items are to be eaten in the

cafeteria. All trays, silverware,

glasses, etc. are to remain in the

cafeteria.

The middle/high school students

will be offered breakfast before

school this year. The Middle/High

School cafeteria will open for

breakfast at 7:40am.

If your child qualifies for free or

reduced meals he/she is also eligible

for free breakfast.

Checking Lunch Balances There are a few ways to check

your student(s) lunch balances. If

you have internet access, the balance

will be on Infinite Campus. You

will also be able to view what your

lunch account was charged for any

given day.

MS/HS Students will have access

to their lunch balances daily, every

time they log in at school! Lunch

money must be received in the

business office before 9:00 a.m. each

morning to be deposited into the

lunch account. Money received after

9:00 a.m. will be credited to the

account on the following business

day.

Food Service Account

Charging Guidelines (Negative Account Balances)

Port Edwards School District utilizes

a computerized system through

Infinite Campus to maintain and

track student food service accounts.

Account balances are updated each

time a student eats a meal and up-to-

date information can be accessed for

your child on the parent portal for

Infinite Campus. Deposits to the

food service account can be made in

two methods:

Online payment through Infinite

Campus

https://

wicloud3.infinitecampus.org/

campus/portal/port_edwards.jsp

Payment to the school office

Students will not be able to make a

payment to their food service

account while in the meal serving

line.

Students at all grade levels (K-12)

who have a negative food service

account balance of more than $7.00

may have school meal service

discontinued until payment is made.

Notices of low and/or negative food

service account balances are made at

least weekly.

Students who have negative account

balances that exceed $7.00 may

choose to eat an alternative lunch

that will be charged to their account

and that meets the minimum USDA

guidelines that are applicable to

alternative meals.

Be aware that if your student may

potentially be eating two meals a day

that are charged to their food service

account as the District serves both

breakfast and lunch.
