Cardinal Call

It is hard to believe the the 2024/2025 school year is almost over! This week will be a fun and busy one. On Tuesday we have our senior walks and junior pinning. Wednesday marks our annual field day celebration and Friday is graduation. Our staff has been working hard planning these events and we are looking forward to celebrating the end of the school year. Finally, this will be the last Cardinal Call of the 2024/2025 school year. Have a wonderful summer and "The Cardinal Call" will be back in August!

Sincerely,

Jim Ertel

Principal

Please review the graduation information that was sent to you by Ms. Dominguez and Ms. Morris. If you have questions as graduation nears, please check in with them. Also, Tuesday June 10th are the senior walks. Please report to the fieldhouse when you arrive at school for important reminders about the ceremony on Friday, a class picture, and pinning the junior class.

You will want to bring your cap and gown for the senior picture and the walks. See you Tuesday morning!

We will have two modified schedules for this week. One will be on Wednesday 6/11 for our field day celebration and the other will be on the last day of school, Thursday 6/12, which is a half day. Both schedules are pictured below for your convivence.

June 10th will be the last day for between SPASD school shuttles at the high school level. All three high schools will keep their students on campus for June 11th and June 12th.

• 6/12: Teacher contracts end for the 2024/2025 school year. All grades must be submitted to the registrar.
• Scholars: No incomplete grades are issued for semester two because the school year has ended. Please make sure all work is completed and turned in in a timely manner.
• Reminder: Spring semester grades affect fall athletic eligibility. If you have questions about this, please reach out to your coach or the athletic office. This includes Xello lessons!

On Wednesday, June 11th we will host our annual end of year celebration field day. Linked here is information about what we have planned for the day!

If your student has an elevator fob and no longer needs it, please have them return it to Nurse Rhonda. If your student still requires an elevator fob until the end of the school year, make sure they return it to Nurse Rhonda the morning of Thursday, June 12th. Any un-returned FOB will incur a $25 charge.

Dear Sun Prairie High School Parents and Caregivers,

This letter is to provide information about your student’s Chromebook as we approach the end of the year. Students in grades 9, 10 and 11 will keep their school-issued device over the summer unless they are leaving the district, in which case the device should be returned by June 12th, 2025. Students can still access school applications and use their device. Filtering software will still be active throughout the summer. Students are expected to care for their device over the summer just as they would during the school year.

Seniors must return their devices on or before our last day of school on June 12th, 2025.

Device Collection for Seniors will begin on June 9, 2025 in the LMC. Students will be called to the library by the first initial of their last name. If you no longer need your device, feel free to turn it in earlier. Devices and chargers will be collected. If you have lost your charger, there will be a fee of $15 added to your Infinite Campus account. Lost or damaged device fees will also be added to your account in Infinite Campus. This fee will vary based on the age of the device and type of damage.

Google Takeout Instructions (transferring student account data to a personal account) were posted in the senior class Google Classroom and are linked below. Seniors will lose access to their district accounts on June 30, 2025 and should begin transferring their data as soon as possible to avoid loss of files. Since your personal Google account is not considered the “owner” of your school account’s data, you may lose access to those files once your student account is deactivated, unless you go in from your personal account and “MAKE A COPY.”

Fines for overdue library materials, missing Chromebooks and chargers may be assessed on June 9th or earlier. Any materials needing to be returned after June 12th should be brought to the District Service Center at 501 S. Bird St.

As we look to the 2025/2026 school year, please mark you calendars for our "Keys to Success" event. Keys to Success is a optional orientation program for new students to the Sun Prairie High Schools. More information can be found in the flyer linked below.

The PSAT (Preliminary SAT) is a valuable standardized test co-sponsored by the College Board and the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. It serves as both practice for the SAT and as the first step toward qualifying for scholarships through the National Merit Scholarship Program. The PSAT helps students assess their skills in key areas—Reading, Math, and Writing/Language.

This test is particularly important for 11th-grade students who are looking to gain insight into their SAT performance and open doors to scholarship opportunities. The PSAT is typically offered in the fall, and 11th-grade students can register to take the exam on an optional basis.

Important: If you would like to take the PSAT exam during the fall of the 2025-2026 school year on Wednesday October 15th, please complete the attached Google form by Monday September 8th, 2025.

For more details or questions, feel free to reach out to Ms. Thao at: pthao@sunprairieschools.org.
