Principal Message

Dear Pineview Families,


We hope you have had a wonderful summer and that you continue to enjoy what is left of it. Our staff has been busy preparing for the 2024-2025 school year, and we're ready to welcome all of our new and returning students and families to another year of excellence at Pineview Elementary!


We have an open house scheduled for Thursday, August 29th, from 12:00 to 6:00 p.m. During this time, you can meet your teachers, see your new classrooms, and drop off supplies. Our PTO will be there with information about ways they support our students' learning and activities. We hope to see you there!


The School District of Reedsburg has once again been awarded the Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Center (CLC) Grant. This grant provides funding for our after-school program, which provides support, activities, and enrichment for students from Pineview and Westside Elementary and Prairie Ridge Intermediate schools. If you have questions or think your child and family may benefit from participation, CLC staff will be present at the Open House to answer them.


Regular attendance is crucial for academic success. As we begin this school year, it's important to establish good attendance habits. Please make every effort to ensure your child attends school regularly and arrives on time. If your child is unable to attend, please notify the school office as soon as possible. If we don’t hear from you, we’ll make a safe call.


Thank you for your continued support and partnership in your child's education. Together, we will support a success filled school year.


We are excited about the 2024-2025 school year and cannot wait to have you join us!


Expecting Excellence,


Mrs. Jenny Hynek

Board Votes to Put Referendum Questions 

on November 5th Ballot


The School District of Reedsburg’s Board of Education unanimously voted Monday night to put two referendum questions on the November 5, 2024, General Election ballot. The board approved questions to address the need for additional operating funds and to complete a facilities project at Reedsburg Area High School.


Ballot Question One - Operating Funds:

Exceed the revenue limit by $4 million per year for the next four years (non-recurring), ending with the 2027-2028 school year, for the purpose of:

  • Filling projected budget deficits in each of the four years as a result of shortfalls in state funding;
  • Maintaining and expanding on our current focus to provide rigorous academic programs and career pathways for all students;
  • Keeping class sizes as low as possible;
  • Continuing to attract and retain high-quality staff;
  • Addressing the most urgent maintenance needs at Webb Middle School.


Ballot Question Two - Facilities Project

Invest $14 million in the Reedsburg Area High School to:

  • Renovate and update equipment in the Construction Trades, Manufacturing and Engineering, and Agriculture spaces;
  • Add a new greenhouse and provide space for new and innovative programs in Agriculture, Animal Science, and Natural Resources; 
  • Renovate the library, large group room, and two adjacent classrooms to create the new Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship;
  • Lightly renovate the cafeteria / commons.

Why?


Like many Wisconsin school districts, the School District of Reedsburg does not receive adequate funding from the state to keep pace with inflationary increases. Added operating funds will allow the District to continue on its upward trajectory. Renovated Career & Technology Education spaces at RAHS will allow the District to continue to build rigorous career pathways and academic programs for ALL students.
