Waushara County Reopen Recommendations - http://waushara.municipalcms.com/docview.aspx?docid=29372

Wisconsin Public Schools Remain Closed even with the Wisconsin Supreme Court Decision. The Wisconsin Supreme Court yesterday struck down almost all of the "Safer at Home Order," Executive Order #28. The Court did not, however, strike down the section that closed public K-12 schools. That section of the Safer at Home Order remains applicable and enforceable. Therefore, the Court's decision does not reopen schools, which remain closed through June 30th, the end of the current school year. The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction will continue to provide updates as they become available. Waushara County is working on guidelines to continue to turn the dial as we move forward with COVID-19. These guidelines will be available and shared with our school community once they are available.

4-16-2020 - Governor Tony Evers today directed Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) Secretary-designee, Andrea Palm, to extend the Safer at Home Emergency Order #28 from April 24, 2020, to 8 AM Tuesday, May 26, 2020, or until a superseding order is issued.  This order includes schools: Public and private K-12 school buildings and grounds will remain closed for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year.  We will continue our off-site Instructional Learning Program.  We will follow up with more information and details in the next days/weeks. The School District of Wild Rose will continue the current Food-Service Program, curbside grab-and-go and deliveries until at least May 26th, 2020. If anyone would like to make a change to their food service needs, breakfast and lunch, please contact the school office.  School Report Cards will be arriving soon.  We have adjusted our grading procedure due to the Safer at Home/School Closure Order.  Please visit the District website and view the document specific to grading. The School District of Wild Rose appreciates your support, patience, and understanding during this Pandemic event.  WeAreWildRose and we are going to navigate this together. We are here to help, if you need assistance please contact the school offices directly. 

4-2-2020 - We are working with state and local officials to determine some courses of action and planning as we navigate the many issues present today. At this time we are still under the State of Wisconsin Safer at Home order until April 24th at 8:00 AM. The President has also extended federal social distancing guidelines to April 30. No decisions have been made about the remainder of our school year at this time. We will be sure to continue to update you via phone, email and our District website under the COVID-19 menu option. Both, Wild Rose Elementary and our Middle/High have posted updates on the website, please visit and click on the links to review. The elementary is planning a drop-off and pick-up next week, details are on the website. Please contact the High School office if your breakfast or lunch foodservice needs have changed and if you are having technology concerns with school-supplied devices. Again, we thank you all for your continued support throughout this. We are hearing of many great things our students, families, and staff are doing. This partnership will continue to increase the positive culture in our Wild Rose community.

3-30-2020 - Our school offices will be open to the public Monday through Friday 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. We are requesting that if you need something from the office that you call ahead, we will get the material ready and someone will meet you at the door. Thank you for your cooperation.

3-20-20 - A reminder The foodservice program will begin on Monday. Curbside pickup will be from 8:00-11:00 at the high school main entrance. For those of you that are on our delivery list the drivers will be leaving the school shortly after 9:00 am. They will either be driving a school bus or a blue dodge van. The driver will honk, please come out to the vehicle. If no one comes out we will place the bag on your fire number or near your mailbox. Again, thank you for your patience, understanding, and cooperation as we navigate this school closure. If you have any questions please contact the school office on Monday morning starting at 8:00 am.

3-19-2020 - We believe the continuity of our educational programming is very important to our students, families, staff and community as we navigate the unique circumstances of our statewide school closure.  We have updated our COVID-19 webpage, linking our educational plans specific to each building.  These are general educational plans.  More specific details about your child's instruction will be clearly communicated by the individual teacher.  Please understand that our plans may change based on information gathered from the state of Wisconsin. We will continue to work with our staff, students, and families to make adjustments as we continue through this school closure.  Please reach out to your child's teacher or school office with any questions. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and cooperation.

Good Morning- A reminder from Wild Rose Schools. If you have not filled out the Food Service survey and would like to be included, please complete as soon as possible so we can plan accordingly.

Good Afternoon- A message from Wild Rose Schools.  We have created a survey for the continuation of our food service department in response to the school closure. The purpose of this survey is to gather information from students and families so we can appropriately plan the continuation of our food service program.  Parents, please fill out this survey for EACH child you have in the School District of Wild Rose that are interested in receiving free breakfast and lunch starting Monday, March 23.  We are planning to offer a free "bagged" breakfast and lunch Monday-Friday from 8:00-11:00 AM at the Wild Rose High School Main Entrance.  𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘆 𝗯𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 @ 𝟴:𝟬𝟬 𝗔𝗠. Children will receive a grab-and-go lunch plus breakfast. Per USDA regulations, we are requesting children to be present in order for meals to be provided.  This program is solely for the pick-up of meals; meals will not be consumed on-site. We encourage families to continue to be proactive in reducing the risk of COVID-19 by not congregating at the pick-up location. Continue to wash your hands often, sneeze or cough into a tissue, and stay home if you are sick.  Please visit our school district webpage for a link to the survey.

Good Evening- A message from Wild Rose Schools. The evolving COVID-19 situation has brought us to reconsider our previous plan. There will no longer be school tomorrow, Tuesday, March 17. Staff should report to the Middle/High School Auditorium at 8:00 AM tomorrow. Our goal is to work toward continuing our educational programming starting Monday, March 23. Our schools will be open starting at 10:00 AM tomorrow for any students and/or families to come and pick up materials. This event has caused us to continually evaluate the situation and we feel that closing tomorrow is the right thing to do for our educational community. We appreciate everyone's cooperation, patience, and understanding as we navigate and process our immediate future.

Good Evening. The fitness center will be closed tomorrow morning through April 5. All memberships will be extended by 21 days.
