PBIS Awards ceremony
Last Friday, the students at Caddie Woodlawn gathered for the PBIS awards ceremony. Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) awards are teacher-nominated awards given to students who are exhibiting behaviors throughout the school year that are aligned to the three PBIS pillars at Caddie -- being safe, being respectful, and being responsible.
Congratulations to these 38 Caddie Kids! We are very proud of you!

DURAND WOMAN’S CLUB fill-a-book bag program
Stocking up on calculators, book bags and notebooks may seem like an annual rite of autumn for students heading back to school, but as many parents know, equipping a child for school is not cheap and often times isn’t possible.
The Durand Woman’s Club is sponsoring the Fill-a-Book Bag program for children who attend school in Pepin County and whose families are in need of financial help. We would like to make sure that all school age children have the tools they need for success in the classroom. We will supply book bags and the materials required at the child’s grade level for children of families in need..
Attached is an application form for your family. Complete the form and return it by
August 4, 2023 to:
Durand Woman’s Club
W7048 County Rd D
Arkansaw, WI. 54721
All book bags will be ready for pick up on THURS. August 17, 2023 from 8a.m. until noon, just in time for school.
Distribution of School Supplies will be at the DURAND MASONIC HALL, 203 W. Main St., DURAND, WI. or in PEPIN, WI.

SAFETY ZONE
School safety continues to be a top priority for our school district. At morning drop off, you may walk your child into the commons to say goodbye, but access beyond the commons will not be granted at any time during the day. It is best if you drop your child off in the loop, exiting on the passenger side only, and let them walk inside on their own, as we will have staff on duty to help. Signs for bus and parent entrances are marked. Breakfast and drop off begin at 7:45am, please do not drop off any earlier than 7:45am as our doors are locked until then, and staff begin their supervising duties. Our school day starts at 8:10am.
Dismissal Times for bussing & parent pick-up will be as follows:
Students will be brought outside for parent pick-up
- 3:05pm: JK, Kdg, 1st grade, and all older siblings to these parent pick-up students
- 3:10pm: JK, Kdg, 1st grade are dismissed to the bus
- 3:15pm: 2nd Grade thru 5th Grade dismissed for bus and parent pick up
Walkers will be dismissed after the buses have departed
End of the day pick-up is incredibly busy and requires patience. We will bring all parent pick-up students outside the main doors at their scheduled dismissal time. Please do not come before your child/ren’s scheduled dismissal time, we need to keep the flow of the line/loop moving. We strongly encourage those who are able to ride the bus, to please do so. We need everyone to be patient and follow these safety guidelines at pick-up to ensure a smooth process for everyone.
We do not dismiss students by themselves to the parking lot, you must park in a spot and come and get them from their line.
Please drive with caution in the parking lot. Drive slow, stay off your cell phone, eyes on the road, & music turned down.
Please do not park in the street, the buses need to get through.
Reminder we are a tobacco free zone, this includes the parking lot.
We will have staff on duty the entire time, if you aren’t able to get your child at 3:05pm- no worries, we will still have them with us at 3:15pm
It is important that your child/children know how they are getting home each day. It is incredibly challenging for us to be pulling students off the bus, from the parent pick-up line, making calls, etc. during dismissal time. If there are any changes to the way your child will be getting home please send a note or call the office before 2:30pm so we can plan accordingly.
