Good afternoon! We are still missing Student Registration forms for many students. If your child is missing any forms you would have received an email from Ms. Daines. If you didn't get an email, then please disregard this message as your child is registered for the 2020-21 school year!

Dear La Farge Families,
We are so excited to get students back into the building for a new school year! Though there are some changes and things we need to do differently, the same compassion, commitment, and excitement remain in our staff.
I wanted to give an update about our first day of school and drop off procedures. In many cases, children can be quite nervous on the first day. We want to help mitigate this problem. We will have our 4K, Kindergarten, and 1st Grade teachers meet students and families on the playground at the drop-off area (along Field St.). That way, students will be able to greet their teachers even though parents won’t be able to walk them to their classrooms. Bus-riding students will also join their classmates on the playground. Also, all elementary parents will be allowed to walk their child(ren) to the door if desired. We will plan on doing this for the first week of school and longer if needed.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Happy Friday, Wildcat Nation! Our staff just wrapped up a week of collaboration and learning, and finishing touches are being put on our plans and in every corner of the building! Please continue to visit our 2020-2021 Back to School webpage (see link below) for the latest information, and let us know if you have any questions. We are looking forward to kicking off the school year on Tuesday, September 1st! https://www.lafarge.k12.wi.us/o/la-farge/browse/155273

A letter to families from our School Nurse:
Greetings Wildcat Families-
I am excited to begin the new school year at La Farge School District. I would like to introduce myself as your new School Nurse. I work through Gundersen St. Joseph’s Hospital in Hillsboro to provide nursing services on site at school every day. I am looking forward to working with each family to keep your child(ren) healthy and safe! Below are a few key items I would like to point out regarding the new school year and the COVID-19 Pandemic.
We need your help to keep all of our students and staff safe and healthy this year. At this time, we are asking all families to do a daily symptom screening before sending your child to school. This includes a daily temperature screening to make sure their temperature is below 100.4 fahrenheit. Please see the attached checklist which indicates potential symptoms of COVID-19. Please note that if your child develops these symptoms while at school, the parent or guardian may be contacted for immediate pick up. Now more than ever, it’s critical that we have updated contact information for guardians, as well as emergency contacts.
If your child has an underlying medical condition (ie: seasonal allergies causing a cough) please notify myself or the school office so that we are aware of the condition and will take that into consideration while determining the need for absences.
Many potential situations may arise regarding illness, extended absences, requests to pick up children, etc. We are preparing and working with the Vernon County Health Department (VCHD) to address each of these situations. As each potential illness and contact exposure is unique, different guidelines and requests will be advised for different situations. These guidelines and time frames may change throughout the year as well. I will be in contact with families of ill students to help them determine quarantine recommendations and testing criteria based on the most current guidelines.
You may be contacted throughout the school year by myself or one of the Registered Nurses at the VCHD to discuss your child’s health and potential exposures. In the event of a positive COVID-19 case or exposure, we will be providing you with guidance on health management, monitoring, and quarantine instructions.
Remember- this is a pandemic. It’s the first time for all of us, and we’re all in this together. The school year will look different as many activities and events will be modified, changed, or cancelled. This is a time when we can all teach our children how to respond to adversity and challenges. Please help us reduce the stigma of contracting COVID-19. A virus does not discriminate, and it can happen to anyone.
If your child must remain at home, but is well enough to continue learning, please contact the principal to switch your student to the virtual learning format.
We understand that this is a stressful time for all families in our district. As we navigate these uncertain times together, please continue to keep flexibility and clear communication with the school a priority so that we can keep all of our students and staff safe and healthy!

Hello Wildcat Students!
Middle and high school students can access their schedules through their student skyward account. It is important to note that some changes were made to best accommodate the current public health situation. If you look at your schedule and have questions, don't hesitate to contact me. It's going to be a great year to be a Wildcat!
Mr. Slack
Hello Wildcat Families,
