Mr. Posick's Friday email

The end of the semester is here. Today, January 17th is a half day of school with a noon release with Monday, January 20th being a day off for students while our staff has professional development all day. Second semester begins on Tuesday, January 21st. We hope you enjoy the long weekend and we look forward to a great start to the second semester!

I can speak from experience that the flu season is here. Last weekend through Monday was a series of chills, sweats, and a pretty nasty headache. I waited too long to check with a doctor and definitely paid the price. At the first sign of symptoms, I encourage you to connect with a doctor who will hopefully lead you in the right direction to health. If your child is complaining of any of the flu symptoms, please consult with a medical professional so that they get well quickly.

This is an optional field trip opportunity for any 5th-8th grade student.

The Waukesha County Business Alliance and Southeast Wisconsin School Districts are partnering with Kids Building Wisconsin and Milwaukee Tool for the “Kids Building Wisconsin Expo.” This Expo will bring 5th-8th grade students from Waukesha County together to learn and experience the world of construction and skilled trades with the goal to expose students to the potential careers and various opportunities within these fields. Local businesses will have hands-on learning and interactive displays for the students to be able to physically explore construction and trade industry careers. Permission slips are available from our Science teachers.

Who: This is an optional field trip open to any 5th-8th grader (limited to 50)

When: February 20th, buses will depart at 9:00 and return at 12:00

Where: Milwaukee Tool in Brookfield
