District highlights student achievements and community-distinction efforts under strategic plan
Summary
Superintendent and staff presented a strategic-plan update focused on "community distinction," recognizing student academic and extracurricular achievements and previewing 4K/5K marketing and registration plans.
Superintendent Dr. Abbott and district staff used the board meeting Thursday to report progress on the district's strategic plan goal of 'community distinction.
The presentation highlighted recent student and program recognitions: a WordMasters Challenge national second-place team result; 11 students published in the Southern Lakes Anthology; eight high-school students passing nursing assistant exams and one passing an EMT exam via the Start College Now program; a National Merit Scholarship semifinalist; WIAA awards for athletics; state cross-country qualifiers; and visual and performing arts recognitions, including a student selected for the Wisconsin State Youth Art Month flag contest.
Why it matters: The district framed the recognitions as evidence the district is building curricula and extracurricular programs designed to attract students through open enrollment and to support its stated vision of 'Achieving Distinction in All That We Do.
Other items: The presentation noted marketing and registration for 4K and 5K programs launching soon and summarized social media reach metrics (the district ranked sixth among 53 Wisconsin districts compared in a SocialSchool4EDU summary). The administration said certificates will be delivered to schools and images of recognized students will be shared on district social channels.
Ending: Board members praised the variety of opportunities offered to students and thanked staff for the work behind the recognitions.
