Dear Parents and Guardians,
On Thursday, April 16, the Governor of Wisconsin extended the ‘Safer at Home’ order until May 26. In the order, he also closed school buildings for the remainder of the school year. While Governor Evers closed school buildings, he did not cancel school for the remainder of the year.
Even with our buildings closed, we remain committed to our mission of ‘providing a quality education for every student’ and supporting our vision that ‘every child can achieve excellence’. Our students, families, and staff have done such a great job over the past four weeks transitioning to the new format of learning through distance education. We have a lot to be proud of as a school community!
During the remainder of the school year, we will continue to stay connected with our students and families through the new learning format that we have put in place. We will continue to provide learning opportunities for our students virtually and through instructional packets. We know there are challenges to this format of learning, but we are dedicated to caring for and supporting our students academically, socially, and emotionally until the end of the school year.
We know this is hard for everyone. We miss our students, and we miss the traditional learning format that connects us in person with our students and families. We appreciate your understanding, patience, and flexibility as we continue providing instruction during these unpreceded times. Please watch for more information as we make plans for the remainder of the school year, summer learning, and back-to-school in fall.
We are all in this together, and we are #wcsdstrong! Please do not hesitate to contact us with questions or concerns. Take care. Be well.

Thank you for your continued flexibility, patience and understanding as we work through these unprecedented times! As we begin to wrap up the 2019-2020 school year, it is important that we arrange for you to pick up your child’s belongings from desks and lockers in a safe and efficient manner. All supplies have been bagged up and will be ready for pick up on May 26, 27 or 28.
Because the school buildings are closed by the Health Department order, pick up of supplies needs to be scheduled. Please click on the sign-up genius link for your child’s school. You will need to sign-up for supply pick-up for your children by building. If you have more than one child in a building, please sign up with the name of the oldest child in that building. If you have children in multiple buildings, you will need to sign up in each building. You may sign up for the same time slot for your travel convenience. This will allow us to have your supplies ready for pick up on a specific day and time for safety and efficiency.
On your scheduled pick-up date and time, you will follow the signs to drive up and pick up your supplies. You will stay in your carand we will bring supplies to you. We ask that you also bring back any books, textbooks, or items that must be returned to school at that time. If you are not attending summer school, you must also return any borrowed Chromebooks and power cords at this time.
Please do not hesitate to contact your building principal with questions or concerns. We look forward to seeing you on May 26, 27, or 28 for supply pick-up.

Voters Approve Wrightstown Community School District’s Referendum
WRIGHTSTOWN, WI – Voters served by the Wrightstown Community School District approved the District’s referendum question on the April 7, 2020 ballot. The “unofficial results” for the question were 1,297 yes and 942 no. The approval will allow the District to invest up to $28,700,000 to address:
Enhance district-wide safety and security and improve site traffic patterns
Infrastructure
Replace and repair existing district-wide building systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC)
Capacity
Expand the elementary school and address cafeteria/kitchen space needs at the middle school
The successful referendum follows two years of facilities planning including enrollment projections, a facilities assessment, a community survey, and community engagement sessions. The Wrightstown Community School District staff, administration, and Board of Education extend a sincere appreciation to the community for their support and for exercising their right to vote during these unprecedented times. This referendum will have a significant impact on the District’s ability to maintain quality educational programs, services and opportunities for students – and the community – for years to come.
“We want to thank the voters of the Wrightstown Community School District for their support of the referendum. Passing the referendum will set the school district up extremely well for years to come with enhanced security at each district building, improved infrastructure throughout the district, and additional space to address the needs at the elementary and middle schools,” said Mike VanEperen, Board of Education President. “We would like to thank everyone who was instrumental in helping provide information to voters so they could make an informed decision.”
“We are so grateful that our community and taxpayers recognized the facility needs for our district and our students. It is always a great day to be a Wrightstown Tiger and our voters helped assure that we can continue that tradition for many years to come,” added Carla Buboltz, District Administrator.
Design of the approved referendum work will begin immediately. Preliminary plans call for improvements at the high school to be completed by September 2021; the elementary and middle school improvements are scheduled to be completed by September 2022.
The District will continue to engage and inform the community throughout the next steps of the process. Please continue to visit the District’s website at www.wrightstown.k12.wi.us for progress updates. Questions can be emailed to referendum@wrightstown.k12.wi.us or directed to the District Office at 920.532.5551.
