Family Input Requested for Updated Curriculum (Jan 27 - Feb 5)

We are selecting resources to support the delivery of revised curricula that are in process of approval by the Board of Education in Spring, 2023. Family input is also a crucial component in determining which resources are the best fit for our Elmbrook students. Elmbrook staff has identified several recommended resources for instruction in the following courses/areas:

Accounting (Intro to Accounting & College Accounting)
Chinese
English Language Arts 4K-5, 6, 7, 8
French 1, 2, 3, 4
German 3 & 4
Spanish 1, 2, 3, & 4

Public digital access to explore the resources will be available from January 27 through February 5, 2023. We will also host two sessions for any community member to explore the physical resources. These sessions will be hosted on Thursday, February 2 from 10:30-12 and from 5:30-7:00 p.m.

Procedures Regarding School Closing Due to Inclement Weather

When school is closed due to inclement weather, the district notifies parents, students and staff in a variety of ways. While often redundant, student safety is our primary concern requiring a blanketed approach to informing all families. Typically, a decision to close school is made before 5:30am in order to give parents, students and the bus company enough time to respond.

In the event school is closed, all families will receive a SchoolMessenger call and email as soon as a decision is made. Text messages are also available through SchoolMessenger. If you have yet to do so, we encourage families to opt into SchoolMessenger’s SMS messaging option here. Please read about our school closing approach and cold weather factors that influence the decision-making on this page of our website.
