School Board Appreciation Week 2025
Our New Glarus High School English Department and students took a road trip to Spring Green last week to catch a performance at American Players Theatre. 🎭✨ Nothing like seeing great literature jump off the page and onto the stage (with way better costumes than we imagined in class!). Students came back with new insights, plenty of laughs, and maybe even a little inspiration for their next essay. Big thanks to APT for an unforgettable experience!

Our freshmen got some great real-world advice today from a few of our very own parents who stopped in to talk about career exploration! 🌎✨ From soft skills and networking to remembering to have fun along the way, their wisdom was inspiring. One reminder stood out: “Go out and see the world—and know there will be 2,277 people in this town welcoming you back with open arms.” 💙

A big thank you to our guest speakers:

Lanee Maclean (medical/education field)

Jeff Ness (medical field)

Cari Muggenberg (accounting/business field)

Nate Sidwell (military/piloting)

What an awesome opportunity for our students to learn from the best—our community! 👏

🚸 Bus Safety Reminder from New Glarus School District 🚸
As the school year begins, we want to remind everyone of the importance of school bus safety. Keeping our students safe on their way to and from school is something we can all take part in.
Here are a few key reminders:
• Flashing red lights = STOP at least 20 feet away, from both directions (unless you’re on the other side of a divided highway).
• Flashing amber lights = SLOW DOWN—the bus is about to stop.
• Stay alert for children walking, biking, or waiting at bus stops—they can be unpredictable.
• Drivers who illegally pass a stopped school bus face steep fines and demerit points.
Parents and caregivers can also help by teaching children to:
• Wait a safe distance from the curb until the bus stops.
• Always cross in front of the bus (never behind), and make eye contact with the driver before crossing.
• Stay seated and face forward while riding.
Let’s work together to keep every student safe this year!
