School District of Arcadia NEWSLETTER November, 2014 Vol. 15, Issue 3 From Your Superintendent Enrollment Trends: According to our third Friday in September student enrollment count we have 1,187 students actually in our buildings. Last year at this time we had 1,178 students present. Our open enrollment students coming into our district from other districts are 48, our open enrollment students from our district going to other districts are 33. Student enrollment is a key factor in determining the revenue limits, which in turn affect local taxes. This year our third Friday in September and summer school enrollment counts increased by 15 FTE’s. FTE’s are full time equivalent students. Our PALS and early childhood students attend partial days and therefore are counted as .6 or .5 FTE’s. This enrollment increase transcended into a three year average increase of 22 FTE’s from 2013-14. Our district generates $10,235.73 per student in allowable revenue limits. This year we have a three year average of 1,145 FTE’s. That number is then multiplied by the allowable revenue limit of $10,235.73 per student to give us our total revenue limit for Fund 10 operations. We are a heavily aided district to the level of roughly 72% general equalization and poverty aid. Therefore, outside of local referendum debt, our local tax payers are responsible for approximately 38% of the total $10,235.73 per student allowed revenue limit. Revenue Limit/Tax Levy: Now that the 2014-15 school year is underway and we have determined our pupil count, the district staff and school board begin to finalize the budget and set the local tax levy. The equalization value for our district went from $365,340,568 to $379,566,339 for an increase of $14,225,771. This is very important because it is one of the major factors in determining our district’s tax levy. Early estimates show a decrease in the local tax levy due to increased equalization values and an estimated increase of $264,482 in state equalization aids. Even though our three year average student enrollment increased by 22 students, the district is estimating a decrease in the tax levy of approximately $.19 per thousand dollars of property valuation. The 2014-15 estimated tax levy will go from $11.14 per thousand to $10.95 per thousand. The final tax levy will be determined after the state issues the final state aid amounts on October 15 th and will then be set and approved by the school board at the 2014 Annual Meeting. School Report Card: The Department of Public Instruction recently released the statewide school report cards for Wisconsin Schools. A numeric score with multiple levels of criteria is assigned to each school district and school within that district. A rating is then determined based on the numeric score. If a school receives a score between 83-100 it is rated as Significantly Exceeds Expectations. If a school receives a score range between 73-82.9 it receives a rating of Exceeds Expectations. A score of 63-72.9 rates as Meets Expectations and a score range of 53-62.9 rates as Meets Few (Continued on page 2) For your reference: District Office—323-3315 H.S. Office—323-3334 (Grades 9-12) Elementary Office—323-7500 1 Inside this Issue: From your Superintendent cont. 2 School Closing 2 8th Gr.

The Arcadia School District received a score of 73.3 which is a rating of Meets Expectations. The Arcadia Elementary School received a score of 69.5 which Meets Expectations. For the second year in a row the Arcadia High School received a score which Exceeds Expectations, this year’s score was 79.5. The scores are determined by student achievement, closing achievement gaps, student growth, and on-track and post secondary readiness. Fairfield Avenue Project: Beginning on October13th, the City of Arcadia will begin a sewer and water upgrade on Fairfield Avenue from Wilson Avenue to Reit Lane. The road will be closed during the initial construction phase. With good weather, the initial phase of installing sewer and water pipes will last approximately two weeks. In late spring or early summer this section of road will be blacktopped and have curb and gutter installed. Thank you in advance for avoiding this section of Fairfield Avenue during the construction phases. Middle School Building Project: The middle school building project is getting close to its final design stage. Once the design is finalized in November, it will be sent out for bid in December/January. As you recall from the last newsletter the original design and upgrades came in 2.5 million dollars over budget due to design upgrades and bids received by building contractors. This is why the project did not start in July, 2014. Since that time the board, administration, architect, building representative and contractors met. Through consensus discussion and problem solving the project costs were reduced an estimated $950,000+ from the plan. This still leaves us approximately $1.5 million short of our budgeted referendum amount. It was determined that the middle school gym and locker room areas would be bid as an alternate, because those areas were estimated to cost $1.5 million in the initial bid last June. If there is no other funding source or if the bids received in January do not allow us to build the gym and locker room areas, they will be eliminated in this project. The project will now begin in April if there are not weather or other delays. Occupancy is now planned for September 1, 2016. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the building process. Thank you for your continued support of our schools in the Arcadia School District and I look forward to a very busy and productive 2014-15 school year. And remember, my email, phone, and door are always open to you. Louie Ferguson, Superintendent School Closing A reminder that it is that time of year when bad weather can suddenly cause school to close. We urge you to discuss emergency procedures with your children so they know what to do when we close early. For your convenience, we have listed the radio and TV stations that will be notified of our closing, early dismissal, or late start. Thank you for your understanding and assistance should we need to change our normal routine. We will also be using our calling system to notify our parents of school closings.

This year’s cast consists of Trent Wolfe as Chad, (a motorcycling, guitar-playing roustabout), Faith Siewert as Natalie (a mechanic), Carlos 4 Corona as Jim (Natalie’s Father), Taylor Rae as Sylvia (the no-nonsense, sassy owner of the local Honky Tonk), Brea Scow as Lorraine (Sylvia’s 16 year old daughter), Garrett Knudsen as Dennis (a young, awkward, aspiring dentist), Shauna Frahm as Ms. Sandra (the local Museum Curator, as well as other great characters exploding with talent! “All Shook Up” is full of great Elvis classics, heartbreaking romance, and enough comedy for the whole family to enjoy!

AMS Drama - Theatrical Adventure The Arcadia Middle School Drama class - Diana Alvarez, Ian Bortoluzzi, Alecia Cadmus, Leanni Dominguez, Aaron Haines, and Jeremiah Williams, had the awesome opportunity to see Bill Blagg's The Science of Magic on Sept. 22, 2014 at Viterbo Fine Arts Center. Students even had the chance to talk to Bill Blagg after the performance and pose for a quick picture. For centuries magicians have used scientific principles to make people levitate in mid-air and vanish in the blink of an eye. Illusionist Bill Blagg’s one-of-a-kind educational experience took the students on a rare, never-before-seen journey “behind the scenes” of the magic world. Bill’s comedy-filled, action-packed, presentation was highly interactive and made science fun and exciting! Students used the Scientific Method to levitate one of their teachers in mid-air and even learned how the science of reflection can make their homework magically disappear! Drama Teacher Mrs. Schock was very impressed with the students' mature manners, lovely appearance, and inquisitive nature; making the AMS Drama theatrical fieldtrip a GREAT success.

After an injury stricken season last year, (having 10 or more guys out of the line-up), we look to be healthy and filling with a SOLID roster of returning lettermen and a good Freshman class that could help out even more. I am confident the change will be a good team bonding experience, and allow more of the parents to be cheering on their own kids through the placement rounds. –something we have lost at the other tournament. Our leadership will stem from these three highly successful and experienced Seniors: Jacob Erbe, Lee Pronschinske, and Richie Hotelling. We will be filling the roster with a LARGE Junior class of returning lettermen, with the Hernandez twins, Josh & Fran, Austin Bown, Aaron Benson, Michael Prokop, Dominic Glodowski, Michael Sonsalla, Henry Hilmanowski, and Will Loewenhagen. Many Sophomores are also returning lettermen; Seth Lisowski, Bradyn Korpal, Omar Sanchez, Travis Tamke, and Jacob Lallemont will fill out the roster and add depth to many of our positions, with a half dozen Freshmen looking for opportunities as well. *All interested athlete are encouraged to join the TEAM. We have a kids night “Run with the Pack” scheduled for January 8th in our Home Dual vs. BRF. Arcadia Wrestling Club sponsors Youth Wrestling, with sign-up taking place in December, and starting early in January. Kids Night will feature the youngsters at our home meet. We have a couple of “changes” that are encouraging… (1) We will be back in D-3 this year, where we look to be much more competitive in the run for state, and (2) the Team will travel to the Northern Badger over the break instead of the Bi-State. This was one of the tough choices we have been considering for the past several years, but looks to be the right one… Northern Badger is a much better fit for our Team. –as Bi-State continues to fill with the highly ranked D-1,as well as the top D-2 and 3 teams in the state, then filling in with several very good Minnesota teams, we have found that the majority of our TEAM is not getting a very good experience from this event, and the majority WILL benefit from the Northern Badger in number of matches, and still get the level of competition and challenge that a large tournament has to offer. Northern Badger is filled with the D-2 & 3 teams that we will run into in the post 7 Arcadia continues to host two highly competitive and respected tournaments, Dec. 20th and Jan. 24th, and we will also host the D-3 Regional this year. *A BIG Thank Youahead of time, for ALL of the parents and volunteers who help make these events possible! We are always looking for more volunteers to assist in setting-up and running these events. Please contact Coach McKeeth or Bruce Schweisthal if you would be interested in helping. Attached is our season schedule… We hope to see a huge following this season as we look to be one of the top teams in the area. 2014-2015 Arcadia Wrestling Schedule Tue Fri Sat Thu Sat Thu Sat M-Tue Th Sat Fri Th Sat Th Sat Sat Sat Tue Sat Th-F-S Fr-Sat 12-2 12-5 12-6 12-11 12-13 12-18 12-20 12-29-30 1-8 1-10 1-16 1-22 1-24 1-29 1-31 2-7 2-14 2-17 2-21 2/26-27-28 3/6-7 Dual A Quad A Trny A DualH Blair-Taylor trny @ Dual A Trny H Trny @ Dual H Dual Trny @ Dual A Dual H Trny H Dual A Trny @ Trny A Trny H TEAM Sectionals WIAA Indiv.

Laney Bork, District Clerk School District of Arcadia, Wisconsin Notice of Child Find Activity Upon request, the School District of Arcadia is required to evaluate a child for eligibility for special education services. A request for evaluation is known as a referral. When the district receives a referral, the district will appoint an Individualized Education Program (IEP) team to determine if the child has a disability, and if the child needs special education services. The district locates, identifies, and evaluates all children with disabilities who are enrolled by their parents in private (including religious) schools, elementary schools and secondary schools located in the school district. A physician, nurse, psychologist, social worker, or administrator of a social agency who reasonably believes a child brought to him or her for services is a child with a disability has a legal duty to refer the child, including a homeless child, to the school district in which the child resides. Before referring the child, the person making the referral must inform the child's parent that the referral will be made. Others, including parents, who reasonably believe a child is a child with a disability may also refer the child, including a homeless child, to the school district in which the child resides. Referrals must be in writing and include the reason why the person believes the child is a child with a disability. A referral may be made by contacting Brian Grill, Director of Pupil Services, School District of Arcadia, at 608-323-3334, Ext. 3165, or by writing him at 756 Raider Drive, Arcadia, WI 54612.
