Dear Parent/Guardian: The Wisconsin State Assessment System (WSAS) requires testing of all fourth through eighth and tenth grade students enrolled in public schools. The Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Examinations (WKCE) covers the academic areas of science and social studies at grades 4, 8, and 10. The information gained from this assessment will be used throughout the district to assist students, teachers and parents in planning for increased academic achievement. The results of these tests do not impact your child’s grades. The testing window for the Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Examination is October 27 - November 7, 2014. 2014 The test will be administered in your child’s school. It is important for your child and for our district that our students all participate in, and do their best on these examinations. Scores will be returned in Spring of 2015. Depending on the needs of the student, English Language Learners, students with 504 plans, and students with disabilities may receive accommodations on the assessment. This decision is made by school staff in conjunction with parents. A small number of students with disabilities may require an alternate form of assessment. This assessment will be administered during the testing window and the results will be available in Spring, 2015. Parents of these students are encouraged to contact their student’s exceptional education teacher or counselor if they are uncertain as to their student’s involvement in the alternate assessment. It is important for your child to be present for all testing sessions. sessions Therefore, this notice is being sent home so that you can note the test dates and avoid making appointments for your child that might conflict with the testing. Other ways to help your child do his or her best include making sure that your child is consistently attending school, getting a good night’s sleep and eating a healthy breakfast. We will be testing on Mon.

Steve Carpenter Scholarship Steve Carpenter was a 1972 graduate in Physical Education from the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse. While at UWL, “Carp” was on the tennis team and played #1 singles and doubles. As part of his Master’s degree program in Physical Education at Brigham Young University, Steve wrote a thesis – “The Evolution of the Two-Handed Tennis Backhand” – in 1987. In researching the topic Steve personally interviewed and received questionnaire responses from incredible sources like Arthur Ashe, Peter Burwash, Cliff Drysdale, Pancho Gonzalez, Rene LaCoste, Frank Parker, John Powless, Fred Stolle, Harold Solomon, Tony Trabert, Jack Kramer, Pancho Segura, Vic Braden, Rick Vetter, and many, many others. Carp was a Father, friend, teacher, coach, and mentor to many. Steve touched literally thousands of youngsters and adults during his 35 years as a dedicated and caring Physical Education Teacher and Coach in the School District of Waukesha, WI. Steve was a Tennis Professional at the Moorland Park Indoor Tennis Club in New Berlin, WI, for many years and also at The Olympia Resort in Oconomowoc, WI. He could always be found in the summers at the Fowler Park tennis courts in Oconomowoc, WI, giving lessons and working with players of all ages and abilities. Of the many, many things we all admired about Carp was his enduring sense of humor. One example is how he used the “No Child Left Behind” legislation to his own benefit in promoting Physical Education by handing out buttons that said, “No Child Left on Their Behind”! Sadly, Steve Carpenter passed away after a courageous 16 month battle with ALS in 2010. The Steve Carpenter Scholarship was funded through the generous contributions of Steve’s family, friends, and supporters. The scholarship provides up to $500 each year for a hard working student or students at Lowell Elementary School that have specific needs in areas of, but not limited to: Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech/Language Therapy, Auditory/Verbal Therapy, etc. Additonally, students with a demonstrated interest in tennis will also be considered and fees for the summer program offered through the Waukesha Tennis Association could be funded. Students interested in other types of athletic/academic/musical endeavors are also encouraged to apply. A letter from the family of the student, with a brief description of the specific needs of the child, should be forwarded to Bill Kirsch at Lowell Elementary School by April 1st. The Carpenter family will then select and notify the recipient(s) of their award. For more information, please contact: Bill Kirsch, Teacher Lowell Elementary School 262-970-1987 [email protected] Lori Schultz, Principal Lowell Elementary School 262-970-1910 [email protected] INFINITE CAMPUS ACTIVATION CODE PARENTS, if you have not picked up your activation code for Infinite Campus please stop in the office ASAP. Codes can only be handed to the exact person listed on the flyer, meaning a husband cannot pick up for his wife and vice-versa. All codes not picked up by the end of NOVEMBER will be shredded. It is very important that you log into Infinite Campus regularly to keep abreast of your child’s activity at school, i.e., grades, attendance, fee, etc. BOOK/USE FEES If you have not paid your BOOK/USE FEES to date, please do so ASAP to avoid your account going to collections. Once the account is turned over to collections, there is interest added and you will have to pay the collection agency instead of working with us at Lowell. You can pay by cash, check (made out to the SD of Waukesha) or using a credit card on Infinite Campus/ REVTrack. Log into Infinite Campus to see your total due. Remember, fees following your child through their senior year. They will continue to accumulate. Once your child wants to participate in a sport or receive a hard copy of their diploma, they will have to have ALL FEES PAID. It is much more manageable to not let the fees accumulate year after year. Thank you for your help and cooperation in this matter. Dress for the Weather This is the time of year when the weather changes daily, please watch the weather reports so that your children come to school dressed appropriately for the weather! Also, please make sure that all of your child’s clothing and items are properly marked with their name, grade, and teacher! We have an abundance of clothing and items left at the end of every year! If names were marked on the items, we could returned them to the student. Thank you for your cooperation!
