Our schools are the heart 💜 of our community & the superintendent plays a pivotal role in the work of the district. As a community member, parent/care-giver, student, or educator, you're invited to share what you'd
like to see in the WCSD's next superintendent.

We had a lovely afternoon supporting a new local business, Grace Coffee Co, & connecting with each other.
As a community partner 🤝, we worked to break down barriers families find in their communication with schools. We provided email 📧 & Infinite Campus 📱 tutorials in Spanish as a part of Heritage Elementary's new Bilingual Program Family Night.
We gathered to support a local business & connect with friends & neighbors. Many laughs were had & delicious food shared.
We were in the WaunaFest parade with a float about inclusion & what it means to community members. We also provided water to the parade participants along the route.
We visited WI's only certified Underground Railroad site, the Milton House, to learn how Freedom Seekers sought shelter there during their journey.
We celebrated Pride together in June with art, colorful treats, & mocktails.
We collected donations & distributed games at the WCSD EL Family Night.
We host community meetings about every-other month to come together to learn & collaborate.
One of our first events was a collaboration with the public library in celebration of MLK Day 2023.
