New Glarus School District

🌻 Step back in time with Mrs. Baker’s Country School Class! 🏫✨ Students got a taste of the “good old days” as they learned in a one-room schoolhouse at the New Glarus Historical Village — complete with chalkboards, vintage desks, and classic recess games. What a fun way to explore history and experience school like it was in the early 1900s! 📚👒🪁

🎶 New Glarus Hits a High Note in Eau Claire! 🎺🎤 Last week, some of our amazing choir and band students represented New Glarus at the State Honors Camp in Eau Claire—and they totally rocked it! From powerful performances to inspiring rehearsals, our students spent the week sharpening their musical skills, meeting other talented young musicians from across the state, and making memories that will last a lifetime. 🎼👏 We’re so proud of their dedication, talent, and teamwork. Way to go, Knights—you're making New Glarus proud one note at a time! 💙🎵

📚☀️ Summer School at New Glarus School District! ☀️📚 We’re excited to kick off our first session of Summer School from June 16–26. Summer School will run Monday through Thursday, 9:00 AM–3:00 PM. It's a great opportunity for students to keep learning, explore new interests, and have fun in a supportive environment! Let’s make the most of summer—see you there! 😎📘✏️

5th grade students ended the year in ELA with their chemical matter unit, reading an informational/literary text titled The Badlands Sleuth: The Case of the Missing Fossils. They participated in a cookie excavation experiment, digging for chocolate chip fossils. How fun!

👏 A huge shoutout to our New Glarus Elementary students who achieved perfect attendance this school year! 📚✨ These students showed up every single day, ready to learn, grow, and support their classmates. Their commitment and dedication are truly something to celebrate! Way to go, Knights! 🛡️ Your perseverance sets a great example for all. 💙

The Landscape and Floral class made a custom arrangement for Mr. Tordoff yesterday in honor of his retirement!

Don't forget! The last day of school is coming up soon!

Congratulations to the New Glarus Middle School students who had their submissions printed in the Greater Dane Anthology book. We're so proud of you!

Join us on Friday, May 30, from 5:15 to 6:30 PM for an exciting evening celebrating the curiosity and creativity of our 7th-grade students! These young learners have been diving deep into topics they're passionate about through their "Choice Unlimited Projects." From classical music and veterinary science to trending fashions and football rivalries, each project reflects the unique interests and hard work of our students. This showcase is a wonderful opportunity to see firsthand what sparks their curiosity and to celebrate their independent learning journeys. We invite families, friends, and community members to come out and support these students as they share their discoveries. Let's come together to applaud their efforts and inspire a love for lifelong learning!

Thank you to all who have served our country.

Just a reminder. No school on Monday, May 26th. School resumes on Tuesday, May 27th.

The Monroe High School Vocal Jazz choir visited New Glarus today for a collaboration event with the New Glarus High School Choir. Each group performed a few songs, and then they sang a few songs together. It was a great morning of making music together!

Some of our 2nd grade students helped plant the school garden last week! With the rain we received today, things should start growing soon!

The Class of 2031 enjoyed the last few days at Wyalusing State Park!
