Last week the Classic 8 Conference schools gathered at the Oconomowoc Community Center to take part in a day full of leadership development and unity. Each school selected 12 student-leaders and two coaches, along with the athletic director to attend. This was the 3rd annual conference-wide event, and the impact of student-leaders improving and influencing their peers upon returning to school is significant for our school communities!

Make it a great year!

Hawthorne Elementary School hosted its Back to School Night on Wednesday, August 28th. Families and students could visit their classrooms, meet their teachers, and see the new addition to their playground. Hawthorne is the first of many schools in the Waukesha School District to add a communication board to the playground. Hawthorne Special Education Teacher Sydney Liederbach and Speech Pathologists MacKenzie Jensen and Desiree Wachtendonk proposed the project. The board includes frequently used vocabulary specific to the playground in the form of pictures, symbols, and words in both English and Spanish. This will allow scholars who have difficulty with communication (e.g., non-speaking, minimally speaking, and those who are difficult to understand) access to interact with staff and peers while outside for recess. Hillcrest, Prairie, and Summit View all have signage in progress.
