State "open enrollment" window opens
The State of Wisconsin's inter-district school "open enrollment" window will run from Feb.6-April 30. This program allows parents to apply for their children to attend school districts other than the one in which they live. Applications may be submitted in up to three nonresident school districts. On-line application is recommended by copying and pasting this link into your browser http://dpi.wi.gov/sms/psctoc.html
Block 8 Program continues
Marathon Venture Academy’s after school tutoring program will continues for trimester II from 3-4 p.m. I am recommending that your child attend, as all students receiving a D or F grade at this progress report time should be in attendance for tutoring help, until grades become passing. After last week, many students improved their mid-term grades to passing.
Students having D or F grades at this time will have “Raider Card” privileges temporarily revoked until passing grades are attained. Please help us continue to build positive habits of scholarship into the routines of students.
Thanks for your cooperation!
