Academic and Career Planning Services for Students
Academic and Career Planning (ACP) is a collaboratively developed, student-driven process for planning success in middle school, high school, and post-secondary academic and career development. The purpose of ACP is to engage students in career exploration and planning.  Students will engage in activities and experiences to inform and support planning educational, training and career goals after high school. The School District of Elmbrook will use Xello, an electronic tool, as part of the overall ACP process.

The District offers parents multiple opportunities during the school year to participate in the ACP process and progress of their child. The ACP process is shared with parents in an electronic format.  It will be highlighted throughout the year in school updates and during the registration process. Parents can continue to request individual meetings with school counselors to discuss career and academic planning in addition to the small group academic advising meetings. For more information regarding ACP please visit the district website or contact Amie Farley, Director of College, Career and Life Readiness in the Teaching and Learning Department.

Academic Standards
The educational standards used for curriculum renewal and design efforts in the School District of Elmbrook were approved by the Board on July 15, 2025. Please note this link will be updated annually after the July Board Meeting when the standards are presented for Action.

Annual Notification of Board of Education Policies
The School District of Elmbrook is governed by Wisconsin State Statutes and Board Policies. Please follow this link search and view all Board policies.

Class Rank under the University of Wisconsin’s “Guaranteed Admission Program”

High schools are required to annually prepare a class ranking of pupils enrolled in the high school as of the class’s completion of grade 11. See section 118.58. The sole criterion for ranking pupils must be the pupil’s grade point average. The class ranking must identify those pupils who rank in the top 5 percent of their high school class and those pupils who rank in the top 10 percent of their high school class.

The rankings relate to the “Guaranteed Admission Program” established for the University of Wisconsin system institutions under section 36.11(3m) of the state statutes. (The program is sometimes referred to as the “Wisconsin Guarantee.”). Reference Policy 5127.1 Class Rank, Grade Point Average, Valedictorian for more information.

Once the high school completes the ranking, section 118.58 further requires that the high school must:

  1. Notify each pupil ranked in the top 10 percent of the pupil's high school class that the pupil is ranked, as applicable, in either the top 5 percent or in the top 10 percent of the pupil's high school class.
  2. If applicable to the pupil, identify a top 5 percent or top 10 percent class ranking on the pupil's high school transcript as of the pupil's completion of grade 11.

Community Service Fund 80 Summary
The School District of Elmbrook operates a community service fund. There is a budget for three main purposes that operate under Fund 80. These include community use of district facilities. Most purposes operate outside of the usual instructional timeframe, and all are open to all residents of the district based on age appropriateness. Fund 80 is tax supported.

Discrimination / Harassment / Bullying Complaint Form
The Discrimination/Harassment/Bullying Complaint Form is attached to policy 6005-Equality of Educational Opportunity-Pupil Nondiscrimination/Anti-Harassment on page 4 and 5 of the accompanying practice statement.

Early College Credit Program

The 2017 Wisconsin Act 59 eliminated the Course Options and Youth Options programs.The Course Options statute was changed to Part-time open enrollment. The Youth Options statute (118.55) was renamed the Early College Credit Program (ECCP). The ECCP statute allows Wisconsin public and private high school students to take one or more courses at an institution of higher education for high school and/or college credit. Under this section, “institution of higher education” means an institution within the University of Wisconsin System, a tribally controlled college, or a private, nonprofit institution of higher education in the state. Students can take up to 18 credits during the fall, spring, and summer semesters. Requests are due March 1 and Oct 1 for the following semester. While technical colleges are not eligible institutions under the new program, pupils who have completed 10th grade will continue to have the option to take courses at technical colleges through a separate statute, Start College Now 38.12(14). 

Early Literacy | Wisconsin Act 20

Under section 18.016(4) of the state statutes, school districts are required to provide the results of each “reading readiness assessment,” in writing, to a pupil’s parent no later than 15 days after the assessment is scored. “Reading readiness assessments” are defined as the fundamental skills screening assessments (for 4K), the universal screening assessments (for 5K through third grade), and diagnostic assessments (certain students in 5K through third grade) that are administered under section 118.016.

A notice of reading readiness assessment results must be provided “in the native language of the pupil’s parent” and must include the following:

  1. The pupil's score on the reading readiness assessment.
  2. The pupil's score in each early literacy skill category assessed by the reading readiness assessment.
  3. The pupil's percentile rank score on the reading readiness assessment, if available.
  4. The definition of “at-risk” under section 118.016 and the score on the reading readiness assessment that would indicate that a pupil is at-risk.
  5. A plain language description of the literacy skills the reading readiness assessment is designed to measure.
  6. If a diagnostic assessment indicates that a pupil is at-risk, then the notice of the assessment results shall include information about how to make a special education referral under section 115.777.

2023 Wisconsin Act 20 includes additional parent notification requirements that apply to some students based on the individual student’s specific situation. For example:

  1. Dyslexia information. If the school district is required to assess a pupil's early literacy skills using a diagnostic assessment, the district shall provide the pupil’s parent, in writing, a description of the common indicators and characteristics of dyslexia and information about appropriate interventions and accommodations for pupils with characteristics of dyslexia. See section 118.016(4)(c).
  2. Notices related to personal reading plans. If a pupil qualifies for a personal reading plan under section 118.016, the school district must:
    a. Provide a copy of the pupil's personal reading plan to the pupil's parent and obtain a copy of the pupil's personal reading plan signed by the pupil's parent. See section 118.016(5)(a)4.
    b.After providing the interventions described in the pupil's personal reading plan to the pupil for 10 weeks, notify the pupil's parent of the pupil's progress, as determined under the pupil's personal reading plan. See section 118.016(5)(a)5.
  3. Notice of pupil promotion without completion of personal reading plan. If a school district promotes a pupil to fourth grade who did not successfully complete a personal reading plan that was in place for the pupil during third grade, then, subject to limited exceptions, the school district must notify the pupil’s parent or guardian, in writing, that the pupil did not complete the personal reading plan and include a description of the intensive instructional services and supports that will be provided to the pupil to remediate the identified areas of reading deficiency. See section 118.33(5m) and section 118.33(6)(a)3. The following is important information about the effective date of the requirement to provide notice of post-promotion reading services and supports to the parents of eligible students:

Each school district that operates schools with elementary grades is required to adopt and maintain an “Early Literacy Remediation Plan.” The plan must include a “parent notification policy” that, at a minimum, addresses various parent notification requirements under section 118.016. See section 118.016(6). The plan can be found on the school district science of reading website. See section 118.016(4)(d).

Education For Employment Program

Academic and Career Planning (ACP) is a part of Wisconsin’s Education for Employment (E4E) program outlined in s. 121.02(1)(m) Wis. Stats., and is sometimes referred to as (administrative rule) PI26. A full copy of the Education for Employment report can be found HERE and is reported annually to the BOE.

Education of Homeless Children and Youths

The McKinney-Vento Act defines homeless children and youth (twenty-one years of age and younger) as:

  • Children and youth who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence, and includes children and youth who are:

Parental Notice for Billing Medicaid for Health-Related Services in Student's Individualized Education Program
This notice describes your rights under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) regarding the billing of Wisconsin Medicaid for certain health-related services provided through your child’s Individualized Education Program (IEP).

IDEA allows school districts to seek reimbursement from Medicaid for certain eligible services provided to students with disabilities. The Wisconsin Medicaid school-based services program allows school districts to seek reimbursement for eligible health-related services provided through a student’s IEP. These services may include attendant care, nursing services, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech and language services, specialized transportation, psychological services, counseling, social work services, and developmental testing and assessment.

Before the District may seek reimbursement from Medicaid, the District must notify parents of their rights under IDEA and obtain written parental consent. Your consent authorizes the District to bill Medicaid and share specified student information with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS), the state agency responsible for administering Medicaid. This annual notice is not consent for the District to bill Medicaid. Consent is provided through a separate form that must be signed before Medicaid billing may occur.

The following rights are provided to parents regarding Medicaid billing under IDEA:

  1. The District must obtain your written consent before submitting your child’s IEP-related health services for Medicaid reimbursement. Consent only needs to be provided once and does not need to be renewed annually.
  2. Your consent allows the District to share your child’s educational information with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) for purposes of Medicaid billing. The consent form identifies the education records that may be shared.
  3. You may withdraw your consent at any time. If you withdraw consent, the District will stop billing Medicaid for your child’s eligible services and will no longer share information with DHS for this purpose.
  4. The District must provide all required IEP services at no cost to parents, regardless of whether the District is able to bill Medicaid. Parents are not required to enroll in Medicaid or any other public insurance program in order for their child to receive special education and related services.
  5. Your child will continue to receive a free appropriate public education (FAPE) regardless of insurance coverage. The District will never require you to enroll in Medicaid or another public insurance program in order for your child to receive services.
  6. The District will never require you to pay a deductible or copayment if one is created when the District submits a Medicaid claim.
  7. Billing Medicaid for eligible school-based services:
    • Will not reduce the availability or duration of Medicaid benefits available to your child outside of school;
    • Will not result in you paying for services outside of school that would otherwise have been covered by Medicaid;
    • Will not increase your insurance premiums or result in the discontinuation of benefits or insurance coverage; and
    • Will not risk your child’s eligibility for home and community-based waiver programs based on the total cost of your child’s health-related needs.

School districts may seek Medicaid reimbursement for eligible school-based services to help support the provision of health-related services to students. If you have not previously signed a “Consent to Bill Wisconsin Medicaid for Health-Related Special Education and Related Services” form, the District may contact you to request your consent. If you have previously provided consent, this notice serves as an annual reminder of your rights under IDEA, including your right to withdraw consent at any time.

  1. The reasons for identifying the child as limited English proficient and for placing the child in the program 
  2. The child’s level of English proficiency, how such level was assessed, and the status of the child's academic achievement
  3. The methods of instruction used in the program in which the child is, or will be, participating and the methods of instruction used in other available programs, including how such programs differ in content, instructional goals, and the use of English and a native languague in instruction;
  4. How the program in which their child is, or will be, participating will meet the educational strengths and needs of their child;
  5. How the program will specifically help their child learn English and meet age-appropriate academic achievement standards for grade promotion and graduation;
  6. The specific exit requirements for the program, including the expected rate of transition from the program into classrooms that are not tailored for English learners, and the expected rate of graduation from high school (including four-year adjusted cohort graduation rates for the program) if federal education funds are used for children in high schools;
  7. In the case of a child with a disability, how the program meets the child’s IEP objectives
  8. Information pertaining to parental rights that includes written guidance: (a) detailing the right that parents have to have their child immediately removed from the program upon their request; (b) detailing the options that parents have to decline to enroll their child in the program or to choose another program or method of instruction, if available; and (c) assisting parents in selecting among various programs and methods of instruction, if more than one program or method is offered by the district.

A school district that uses federal education funds to provide a language instruction educational program for English learners is also required by the ESEA to implement an effective means of outreach to parents of English learners to inform the parents regarding how the parents can: (1) be involved in the education of their children, (2) be active participants in assisting their children to attain English proficiency, achieve at high levels within a well-rounded education, and (3) meet the challenging academic standards expected of all students.

Notice of Child Find Activities and Confidentiality of Personally Identifiable Information

The School District of Elmbrook is required under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) to locate, identify, and evaluate all children with disabilities who may need special education and related services. This includes children with disabilities who attend private schools located within the District and children who are homeless. This process is known as Child Find. 

As part of Child Find activities, the District may collect personally identifiable information about children, including information provided by parents, teachers, and other professionals regarding a child’s academic performance, behavior, health, and development. This information is used to determine whether a child is a child with a disability and requires special education and related services. 

Personally identifiable information that is directly related to a child and maintained by the District is considered a pupil record. Pupil records may be maintained in any format, including electronic records, written documents, photographs, videos, audio recordings, and other forms of stored information. Records maintained solely for a teacher’s personal use and not available to others, and records maintained only by individuals providing psychological treatment, are not considered pupil records. 

Types of Student Records

The District maintains several categories of pupil records: 

  • Progress records include grades, courses taken, attendance records, immunization records, required lead screening records, and records of school-sponsored extracurricular activities. Progress records are maintained for at least five years after a student ceases to be enrolled in the District. 
  • Behavioral records include psychological evaluations, personality evaluations, records of conversations, written statements relating specifically to a student’s behavior, achievement and ability testing, physical health records other than immunization and lead screening records, law enforcement officer records, and other pupil records that are not progress records. Law enforcement officer records are maintained separately from other pupil records. Behavioral records are maintained for no longer than one year after a student graduates or otherwise ceases to be enrolled unless the parent or eligible student requests in writing that the records be maintained longer. The District informs parents when pupil records are no longer needed to provide special education services. At the request of the parent, the District destroys information that is no longer needed.
  • Directory data includes information such as a student’s name, school email address, address, telephone listing, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, photographs, degrees and awards received, and the name of the school most recently attended by the student. 
  • Pupil physical health records include basic health information such as immunization records, emergency medical information, records of first aid or medication administered, athletic participation records, information regarding a student’s ability to participate in an educational program, required lead screening records, routine screening results (such as hearing, vision, or scoliosis screenings), follow-up information related to screenings, and other basic health information as determined by the State Superintendent.Any pupil record related to physical health that is not considered a pupil physical health record is treated as a patient health care record under Wisconsin Statutes §§ 146.81–146.84. Records concerning HIV testing are treated in accordance with Wisconsin Statute § 252.15.

Parent and Eligible Student Rights Regarding Education Records

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), IDEA, and Wisconsin Statute § 118.125 provide parents and students age 18 or older (“eligible students”) with the following rights: 

  • Right to Inspect and Review Records
    Parents and eligible students have the right to inspect and review education records within 45 days after the District receives a request. Requests should be submitted in writing to the school principal or appropriate District official and should identify the records the parent or eligible student wishes to review.The District will provide access without unnecessary delay and before any Individualized Education Program (IEP) meeting or due process hearing, and in no case later than 45 days after receiving the request. If a record contains information about more than one student, parents may review only information related to their own child. Upon request, the District will provide copies of progress records and behavioral records and will provide a list of the types and locations of education records collected, maintained, or used for special education purposes.The District will respond to reasonable requests for explanations or interpretations of records. A representative of a parent or eligible student may inspect and review records.
  • Right to Request Amendment of Records
    Parents and eligible students may request that the District amend education records they believe are inaccurate or misleading. Requests should be submitted in writing to the school principal and should identify the portion of the record believed to be inaccurate or misleading and explain the reason for the request. If the District decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student will be notified of the decision and the right to request a hearing regarding the amendment request.
  • Right to Consent to Disclosure of Records
    Parents and eligible students have the right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information from education records, except when federal or state law permits disclosure without consent. One exception permits disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. School officials may include District employees, school board members, contractors performing services for the District, and individuals serving in official capacities who require access to education records to fulfill their professional responsibilities. The District may disclose education records without consent to officials of another school district in which a student seeks or intends to enroll. The District may also disclose directory data unless a parent or eligible student has notified the District that directory data may not be released without prior consent.
  • Right to File a FERPA Complaint
    Parents and eligible students have the right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the District to comply with FERPA requirements. Complaints may be submitted to:

Student Privacy Policy Office
U.S. Department of Education
400 Maryland Avenue, SW
Washington, DC 20202-8520

Child Find Referrals
Upon request, the District is required to evaluate children suspected of having a disability who may need special education and related services. A request for evaluation is known as a referral. When the District receives a referral, an Individualized Education Program (IEP) team will be convened to determine whether the child has a disability and whether the child requires special education and related services.

The District is responsible for locating, identifying, and evaluating children with disabilities who are enrolled by their parents in private elementary or secondary schools located within the District.

Certain professionals, including physicians, nurses, psychologists, social workers, and administrators of social agencies, who reasonably believe a child is a child with a disability have a legal duty to refer the child, including a homeless child, to the school district where the child resides. Before making a referral, the individual making the referral must inform the child’s parent that the referral will be made.

Parents and others who reasonably believe a child is a child with a disability may also refer the child to the District. Referrals must be made in writing and include the reason the individual believes the child may have a disability.

A referral may be made by contacting:
Director of Student Services
School District of Elmbrook
3555 N. Calhoun Road
Brookfield, WI 53005
262-781-3030

Section 504 Rights and Protections for Students with Disabilities

The School District of Elmbrook complies with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which prohibit discrimination on the basis of disability and require public school districts to provide qualified students with disabilities equal access to educational programs, services, and activities.

Section 504 protects students who have a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, have a record of such an impairment, or are regarded as having such an impairment. Students who qualify under Section 504 may be provided reasonable accommodations, aids, or services necessary to ensure meaningful access to educational programs and activities. Section 504 eligibility is determined through an evaluation process conducted by a team of individuals knowledgeable about the student, the evaluation data, and available services and accommodations.

When a student is determined to be eligible under Section 504 and in need of accommodations, aids, or services, the District develops and implements a Section 504 Plan identifying the accommodations, supports, or services necessary for the student to access and benefit from educational opportunities. Section 504 Plans are reviewed periodically and revised as needed to ensure that students continue to receive appropriate supports. 

The District’s guidelines and procedures related to Section 504 are outlined in Policy and Practice Statement 6006. Questions regarding Section 504 eligibility, accommodations, or services may be directed to the District’s Section 504 Coordinator.

When using video surveillance systems, the district balances its need to protect persons and property with the privacy rights of students and employees. Video surveillance may be used on school property, adjacent public spaces or school transportation and is detailed in Policy 5144.3.
