Wecome Back!

Our 6th graders brought incredible energy today for a fantastic first day, and now we are officially ready to complete the puzzle by welcoming our 7th and 8th graders back tomorrow morning! We have missed your leadership, your humor, and the unique spark you bring to our hallways.

To ensure a seamless, stress-free morning, please take two minutes to carefully review the critical opening-day details below so everyone is prepared and ready to roll from the moment you arrive.

Get a great night's sleep, set those early alarms, and let's kick off an outstanding year together. We will see you bright and early tomorrow!

September 2nd - All students report to school.

September 8th - 5:30-6:30 Open House

Although all 6th grade students must enter the building through the doors on 4th street in the morning, they can exit the building at the end of the day using various exits.

High Street can be used as a parent drop off and pick up area. although to help with traffic congestion, parents can arrange for student pick up from many nearby neighborhood streets and avoid all streets adjacent to the school as you can see on this slide

If you skate or scooter to school, please check those items into the attendance office in the morning when you arrive.

Dear Parents and Guardians of the Fort Atkinson School District Community,

As the new school year begins, supporting our youth's mental health is more important than ever. The new school year can bring feelings of both anxiety and excitement as students transition into a new grade or perhaps even a new school.

We have provided a Back to School resource packet for parents and families who are navigating through this time. Click here to access the kit.

By working together, we can create an environment where our children thrive. As a reminder, Care Solace partners with our school to offer valuable mental health care coordination services to connect you with community-based providers for counseling, therapy, and more.

To access Care Solace:

• Call 888-515-0595: Their multilingual helpline is staffed 24/7/365.
• Visit caresolace.com/fortschools: Explore mental health providers independently or click "Book Appointment" for personalized assistance.
• 
  

By joining hands as a community, we can provide a nurturing environment that supports the mental health and well-being of our youth. Let's prioritize their emotional growth and create a brighter future together.

Thank you for being dedicated parents in the Fort Atkinson School District community. Your commitment to our youth is truly commendable.
