Kindergarten Round-Up - March 5, 2010
The St. Croix Central School District’s 2010-2011 Kindergarten Roundup will be held at the elementary school on Friday, March 5, 2010. A letter will be going out in January to parents that have listed their children with the district census.

We are asking people with children that will turn 5 years old before September 1, 2010 to call the elementary school and register for Roundup. Please call Kim Nielsen or Lori Sather at 749-3119 and set up a time slot beginning on Monday, February 8. Presentations for parents and testing of the children will be done in a one hour time slot. Presentation times are 8:00, 9:15,10:30, 12:30 and 1:45. There are a limited number of slots for each time period.
During the presentation, parents will meet the Kindergarten teachers, watch a PowerPoint presentation and fill out enrollment cards. The children will be screened during this one hour time slot. Screening will also include hearing and speech.
If you have any questions, please call Steve Sanders at the elementary school (749-3119).
Special Meeting Scheduled of District Electorate to Consider Purchase of House and Property
The St. Croix Central School Board has taken the first step in acquiring a piece of property that adjoins the middle school parking lot. A copy of the house listing is available here. Board President, Howard Kruschke, commented; “It’s not everyday that a property adjacent to one of our district properties is for sale. Even though the board has no immediate plans for the property, we thought that it was prudent to pursue the purchase. Ultimately the district voters will determine if the property is purchased.”

News in the Middle - Scott Woodington
Data Driven
The district has been working on many new initiatives over the past couple years. One of the initiatives has focused on our math program. Last week, our fifth grade through tenth grade math teachers met to collect and discuss the data of our students that are struggling in math. The data was collected from all students that scored low on the math portions of the WKCE test, the MAP test, and their math grade. The MAP test helps us identify areas students need to work on. The WKCE is the state test that all districts take in Wisconsin, which is used to determine if you meet the national standard under No Child Left Behind. We are currently required to have 58% of our students proficient and advanced in the math portion of the WKCE. Next year, we are required to have 68% of our students proficient and advanced and the following year it rises to 79%. We currently do not have 68% of our students proficient and advanced. We are in the initial stages of discussion to create a plan to move all of our students from minimal and basic to the proficient and advanced. You will be hearing more about this in the weeks to come as we look to implement a plan by the 4th quarter.
