141...That's how many days we have successfully been in school for face-to-face instruction with your children!
141...what a huge milestone and celebration of resilience, dedication, and commitment! We are so happy for our students, staff and families!
141...That's how many days we have been able to focus on providing quality instruction for every student, every day in our classrooms! We are so grateful!
Unfortunately, COVID cases are again on the rise in Wisconsin. As of this writing, we are back over 1,000 new cases a day. We are so close to being able to resume several pre-COVID celebrations and routines. We can't let our guard down now!
We know....we are all tired of COVID and everything that it has changed for us over the last year, but we have confidence that we are getting close to being able to resume some level of normalcy. We just can't do it yet!
Yes, we will continue to require face coverings for students on the bus and in the classrooms. Yes, we will continue to monitor positive cases and exposure to positive cases for quarantine purposes. We will continue with the 10- and 14-day quarantine protocols that we have used all year; they have worked and supported in-person learning so far. Please know that we continue to monitor the situation daily and weekly in the event we can make any changes to our mitigation strategies and plans.
Please continue to monitor your children for symptoms of COVID and keep them home if they are not feeling well. As long as we continue to be diligent in our efforts, we can keep this going!
Finally, please talk to your children about the need to remain diligent in our efforts against the spread of COVID. Remind them about wearing their face coverings appropriately. Remind them about good hand hygiene. Remind them to let you know if they aren't feeling well.
We've gotten to 141 Days because we've worked together to tackle COVID. Let's finish this marathon strong and support each other to the finish line! We are #WCSDStrong!

Wrightstown Schools Exceed Expectations
on State School Report Cards
The Wrightstown Community School District is pleased to report that the District ‘Exceeds Expectations’ on the 2018-2019 School Report Cards. As a District, we continue to exceed the achievement, growth, closing gaps, attendance, and graduation readiness goals that have been set by the State of Wisconsin. Our students continue to do well and our staff remains committed to meeting the District mission of providing a quality education for every student. In addition to a District overall score, each building received an accountability rating.
The current School Report Card is primarily based on last year’s performance, the 2018-19 school year. At the foundation of the report cards are four priority areas. Schools and districts receive a score for each priority area:
Student Achievement proficiency in English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics on the annual state assessments
School Growth measured by year-to-year progress in ELA and math achievement
Closing Gaps
in performance between specific student groups (comparing English learners, low-income students, students with disabilities, and members of a racial or an ethnic group with their peers)
On-Track and Postsecondary Readiness showing reliable predictors of how many students are on-track to graduate from high school and student readiness for post-high school success
While the report card in just one source of information about our schools, we can use the information to help us better meet student learning needs. As a school district, we are always looking for ways to improve student achievement in our schools and classrooms and the data from the report card helps guide some of those improvement efforts. We did see a decrease in our overall accountability rating and look forward to addressing the areas that trended down this year.
In addition to reviewing student achievement data, the District is committed to making sure our students feel connected to school and have built positive relationships with teachers, staff, and peers. Those positive relationships significantly impact the ability of our students to learn and grow in our schools and continue to be #wcsdstrong!
The Wrightstown School District offers a variety of educational options to children who reside in the District.
The District’s primary educational pathway and instructional program for students involves a progression from 4-year-old kindergarten (early learning) through 12th grade, leading to a high school diploma.

Student learning is the district’s highest priority.
Student learning is composed of: intellectual development
human and social development
career development
All students can learn, can demonstrate what they have learned, and their learning is measurable.
Students learn best when there is a continuous challenge to achieve at higher levels and when instruction is differentiated to accommodate student learning needs.
Student learning is enhanced when there is an environment that fosters a joy of learning, positive student relations, honesty, trust, responsibility and respect.
As we interact in an ever-changing globally diverse environment, students must demonstrate consideration and understanding for the diversity of thought, beliefs, and people.
Family, students, staff and community all share the responsibility of providing a productive, safe and compassionate learning environment.
Ongoing professional development ensures a highly qualified staff, which is necessary for student success.
Annual District goal setting is important to ensure focus on continuous district improvement and that decision-making will be based on the use of data.
