On Wednesday, January 13th, 22 students from the five elementary schools, Pilgrim Park, and Wisconsin Hills participated in the District Spelling Bee.

Congratulations as well to the top 6 finishers 8th grader Aarav Vikram and 6th grader Janavi Wagle from Pilgrim Park (former Burleigh Elementary student), Keshav Karun from Swanson Elementary, Nolan Scott from Dixon Elementary, and Michelle Yeboah from Burleigh Elementary!

Congratulations and good luck at Regionals in Mid-February!

For this entire school year we have done everything possible to keep our students and staff safe while prioritizing in-person learning. Of all the safety and risk mitigation measures and efforts implemented, none has been more impactful than masking. The science and the data support this, and we stand behind it. We will continue to follow the science and rely on our Medical Advisory Board to help guide policies and procedures. To be clear, regardless of the political action in Madison, masks will be required in all schools for anyone entering a facility in the School District of Elmbrook. Read more for additional information.

Last evening (January 12th), the School District of Elmbrook's Board of Education approved adding 4-Year-Old Kindergarten (4K) for the 2021-2022 school year by a vote of 5-2. The 4K offering will be tuition-free and hosted at each District elementary school. Prior to the approval, Elmbrook was one of only five Districts across the state to not offer this half-day, educational program to our community.

Three Burleigh students will represent our school at the Elmbrook Spelling Bee, which will determine who moves on to the Regional Spelling Bee Program. With a score of 46, Srinidhi in Mrs. Verink's 5th-grade class is our First Place Champion! In a tie for Second Place with a score of 42, are Saina in Mrs. Verink's 5th-grade class and Michelle Y. who is currently virtual learning with Mr. Ziolkowski's 4th-Grade class. 

We wish them the Best of Luck in the district-level competition! Go Burleigh Vikings!
