Make the Season Brighter for Kids in out of home care!

My family and I would like your help in making the Holiday Season a bit brighter for children in out of home care (formerly known as Foster care), by participating with us in Fundraiser for Gifts. Every year over 8000 children get placed into out of home placement here in Wisconsin, often through no fault of their own. Many of those children will spend The Holidays  away from their parents. Christmas can bring  mixed feelings for these children. They are left  facing rejection, sadness and uncertainty. Left to wonder, “What’s wrong with me?” “Why doesn’t anyone want me?” and “What did I do to cause this?”

While we realize that a simple toy isn’t much, it is something. To some of these children it may be the only thing anyone gives them for Christmas. It’s our hope that we can help them feel wanted and loved, and to let them know that there are so many people who care about them.

We will be using 100%  of the funds collected to purchase Toys for children of all ages. We are requesting that all donations be at the school by Dec 11th, so there is  enough time to purchase and deliver the gift to social services.  Social Services will be  distributing the gifts to local children before Christmas.

If you would like to help, please send $1.00 or more in an envelope labeled Money for Gift Drive to school with your child. You may also send an unwrapped gift to school if you prefer. 

*Donation box located in the Elementary, Middle and High School Offices. 

Fundraiser will run Nov 1st – Dec. 14th.

Thanks for your generosity,

DeBlaey Family

2019 Calendar Update

/ , , , / 0 comments

Due to the unusually high number of weather related school cancellations we will be making several adjustments to our published school calendar for March, April, and May. The Department of Public Instruction requires specific hours of instruction annually for all public schools. In order to meet those requirements and continue working toward our district goals, we will be making the following changes:

March 1st will be a regular student day. This day had been designated for teacher professional development.
Early Release dates on March 13, April 3, May 1, and May 24 will now be full student days – not early release.

Teacher professional development time has been instrumental in moving us toward our district goals and efforts to fulfill our mission ensuring all students are learning at high levels. Academic benchmarks provide evidence that Oostburg students are realizing unprecedented achievement placing us alongside the top schools in our state when considering ACT composite scores – the primary measure connected to our academic goals.

We believe that teacher professional development time provided through early release days and inservice continues to be a primary factor in our success. During these days teachers meet vertically across grade levels, refining our curriculum through very intentional collaboration. Designing rigorous and relevant learning experiences for students is enhanced when teachers work together across grade levels to examine student work. Due to the changes, the teaching staff will continue their collaborative work outside of the scheduled professional development time

As critical as our collaborative learning time has been, this winter has presented challenges which have resulted in an unusually high number of missed student contact days. We appreciate your understanding as we address this missed time. We hope this is an unusual winter. We also appreciate the flexibility from our teaching staff as they adjust their schedules in the months ahead so their collaborative work can continue outside of the time originally scheduled.
