Mondovi Elementary School

Hello Everyone- I hope that you are all doing well and getting ready for the start of the school year.  Today we wrapped up with summer school and everything went very well.  I would like to take this opportunity to update you all on a few items: You should have received the 20-21 reopening survey today.  Please fill one of them out for each of your children by Tuesday August 18th. The Color Run that was scheduled for Friday, Sept 4th has been canceled.  The PTA will be sending out some more information on this soon. Our traditional Back to School Open House that was scheduled for Tuesday, September 1st has also been canceled.  Instead of Open House, Tuesday, Sept. 1 will be the first face-to-face day of instruction for students.   To take the place of our Open House, I have asked the teachers of each grade level cohort to collaborate and create a video or a document to introduce themselves and share any important back to school information with you.  Please be on the lookout for that the week of August 24th.  With the cancellation of our Open House, pictures will be rescheduled for late September or early October.  We will send that information out as soon as a date is decided. We are looking at doing something as far as an Open House for the incoming Early Childhood/4K students and will communicate that with you as soon as it is planned.     Once we have all the data from the 20-21 reopening parent survey, we will more than likely need to revisit the class lists.  I am planning to send out teacher notification letters the week Aug. 24. In the event we would have to move to 100% virtual, or if your child would need to quarantine, it would be a good idea for you to have a back-up plan as far as childcare if you don't already have one. Take care, enjoy the remainder of your summer, and I will stay in touch with any new information. Mr. Franzwa

Parents/Guardians, Please review the protocol that the school will be following for sending students home who present with symptoms of COVID-19. This protocol was developed by the WI Department of Public Instruction and has been reviewed by Dr. Rick Stoughton. Thank you, Sue Poeschel, RN BSN Sue Poeschel, RN BSN School Nurse School District of Mondovi 715-926-3645, EXT. 1171

​Dear Parents and Guardians, Summer School Starts this coming Monday, August 3rd. With the recent decision by Governor Evers, everyone that is 5 and older will need to wear a face covering while attending summer school. Looking forward to seeing the students in school again. Have a great weekend everyone! Mr. Franzwa

https://5il.co/iqk2 https://5il.co/iqk1 Here are two links with information pertaining to summer school. The first one is some health information from our school nurse (Mrs. Poeschel), and the second one is updated bus routes from our transportation director (Mr. Gray). I would also like to inform you that I have been working with the custodians and we have a plan to disinfect the classrooms, bathrooms, and entrances each day. Mr. Gray is also planning to have each bus disinfected after every route (AM/PM). Please contact me if you have any questions. Paul Franzwa pfranzwa@mondovi.k12.wi.us (715) 926-3645 ext. 1177

MESSAGE FOR PARENTS WITH STUDENTS ATTENDING SUMMER SCHOOL (Aug. 3-14). ​Dear Parents/Guardians, I hope that you are all doing well and staying healthy. Summer school for last year's 4K-8th graders starts in one week, Aug. 3rd, and runs until Friday, August 14th. Although things will be very different, we are really excited to welcome students back into the building. Here is some more information that I would like you to be aware of: Please send your child to school with some sort of a water bottle. The water fountains will be shut off during summer school. No visitors will be allowed in the school - only students and staff. The main entrance to the elementary (door #29/ramp entrance) will be off limits due to construction during summer school. If you plan on dropping your child off, please drop them off on Mill street and staff will be there to guide them into the building. The designated drop off area will be between the "little buffalo" and the entrance to the new bus drive. This will also be the area where you can wait to pick up your child at the end of each day. Students that are dropped off, walkers, and students that ride their bike will enter the building through door #28 at the end of the 4K/5K hallway. Don't forget that Mill Street from North Jackson to State Street is one way now (west bound). I will be sending out a few more messages very soon. One regarding some changes to our transportation pick up/drop off times, and another one explaining some health information from our school nurse. Don't hesitate to contact the elementary office (715-926-3645) if you have any questions. You can also email me (pfranzwa@mondovi.k12.wi.us) or Leah (lbursaw@mondovi.k12.wi.us) if you have questions. Thanks- Mr. Franzwa

Update on the 20-21 teacher notification letters. I am planning to send them out after the Aug. 12th school board meeting . We had a recent resignation (4th grade Mrs. Suehring) and I am hoping to have everything in place by that time.

2020-2021 School District of Mondovi Reopening Timeline https://5il.co/ijah

We are extending the window to register for two of our summer school classes - Cluster A and Cluster B. The deadline to register will be Monday, July 27. You can contact Mr. Franzwa or Mrs. Bursaw by phone (715) 926-3645 or email (pfranzwa@mondovi.k12.wi.us lbursaw@mondovi.k12.wi.us) if you have questions or need assistance with registering. Cluster A has four classes: Elementary Design and Construction, Fundamentals of Sports in the American Culture, Outdoor Adventures, and Stem Exploration. The four classes for Cluster B are: Accelerated Reading, Art Attack, Math in the Kitchen, and Reading and Creative Dramatics. If you would like more information on these classes, please go to the Mondovi Homepage, under schools click on Mondovi Elementary, then click on the summer school tab, and then on 2020 summer school book.

The School District of Mondovi would like your input regarding the start of the 2020-2021 school year. There are numerous decisions yet to be made as to what the start of the school year will look like. The District will be continuing to follow DPI (Department of Public Instruction), DHS (Department of Health Services), CDC (Centers for Disease Control), and Coulee Compass recommendations in our planning for this fall. Depending on the risk levels and guidelines, we are currently planning for several options including: face-to-face instruction; at-home learning; and blended learning (a combination of classroom instruction and at-home learning). The information you provide us through this survey https://tinyurl.com/yc22dx7c will help guide our decisions and will help us develop a plan for the reopening of schools while doing what is possible to mitigate risk.​ If you have trouble opening the survey, try copying and posting this link to your browser: https://tinyurl.com/yc22dx7c

Reminder - If you live within 2 miles of the school, you must pick up the free meals, we will not deliver. Thank you!

Just a reminder that next Friday, July 17 is the cut off date to register for summer school. We will be running face-to-face summer school from August 3-14. Free breakfast and lunch will be offered each day, and the district will also be providing transportation (normal summer school routes). If your child is entering 5K, 1st, 2nd, or 3rd grade, you should have received a ‘Bridging” registration form in the mail. Please contact the Elementary Office if you didn’t receive one. Students entering 4th-8th grade will register for one of our four “Clusters.” You can access that registration form by going to the School District of Mondovi’s homepage, click on the elementary school, and the registration form can be found when you hover over the summer school tab. Don’t forget to fill out the transportation information if your child plans to ride the bus. Completed registration forms that are mailed back must be postmarked no later than Friday, July 17. We will be closing registration as soon as we reach 15 students per class. We have four classes in a cluster - so no more than 60 students per cluster, and 2 bridging classes per grade - so no more than 30 students.
