SHOES, SHOES, AND MORE
SHOES!
The DONATION BOX is by the
DOORS near the DISTRICT OFFICE
The Barneveld Baseball team is doing an OLD
SHOE RECYCLING drive AGAIN. We are
looking for shoes from people, which are no
longer fitting or needed. The shoes we are
collecting will be going to other areas and/or
countries which are in need of footwear.
Check your closets and ask your neighbors and
relatives if they have any old shoes they would
like to get rid of.
We accept pairs of women’s, men’s, and
children’s shoes, which may include athletic
sneakers, cleats, flats, high heels, dress shoes,
work boots, dress boots, and fashion or casual sneakers.

Dear Parents
All students in Wisconsin will be taking the Badger Exam 3-8: A Wisconsin Smarter Balanced Summative
Assessment in grades 3-8 between March 30 and May 22. This new assessment will be used to gauge
how well students are mastering the Wisconsin College and Career Ready Standards in English Language
Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. Your child’s achievement will be compared to other students in the state
and other states who use similar assessments. Parents will be able to use the test results for more insight
into how well your child is doing on a broad measure of achievement. Teachers and students will use the
results to target instruction to individual student needs. Administrators will use it to guide curriculum and
professional development.
DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY OF THE
FOLLOWING: ski boots, roller skates, roller
blades, CROCS, broken, wet, muddy or ruined
footwear, single shoes, FLIP FLOPS, or slippers.
The Shoe Recycling Drive will continue
ALL SCHOOL YEAR because of the large
amount I have received.
Thanks, Coach Schmitz
This is an online test that includes a portion with multiple choice and short answer questions on the
computer, a classroom activity, followed by a performance task to be completed on the computer also.
The test is not timed; students can take as much time as necessary to do their personal best. Barneveld
School District will block off times for students to take the test in the computer labs as suggested by
Wisconsin Department of Instruction (WI DPI). If a student needs more time to finish the test, we will be
happy to accommodate their needs and allow them to continue or come back another time to finish the
test. The estimated time for the ELA portion is 1 ½ hours. The estimated combined times for all three
portions of the mathematics test is 3 to 3 ½ hours. These will be staggered over a two week period; they
will not be administered all on the same day. Please see the schedule below for the days your child will
be testing.
In preparation for The Badger Exam, teachers have shared with student’s tutorials to learn about the tools
available to them online during the test. They have or will have had a chance to take a practice test online
to see how to navigate through the questions, experience, and practice using the online tools available to
them. Students will have become familiar with the types of questions that will be presented and responses they will be asked to give. They will have experienced an in class activity to prepare them for their
performance task, and then have gone back to the computer lab to take the practice performance task.
These practice tests are available for them to take online at home on the Barneveld School District Website at http://www.barneveld.k12.wi.us/ under the student tab or at
https://login4.cloud1.
tds.airast.org/student/V98/Pages/LoginShell.aspx?c=SBAC_PT.
We ask for your help to make this experience as stress free and positive as possible for your child. We ask
that you make sure:
• Children are in bed and have a good night’s sleep before their test days.
• Have a good breakfast and lunch the day of test.
• Children are present for their test days; please try to schedule appointments on days they will not
be testing.
• Your child knows we all support them, know they will try their best, and that this is just one test
only, it will not define them or indicate their value. It is to gauge what they know and what we
need to still work on.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding The Badger Exam Test, feel free to contact us at bjones@
barneveld.k12.wi.us or [email protected] (best option) or 924-4711.

On Tuesday, March 17th four 4th graders, and four
5th graders traveled to South West Tech to compete
in “Lit Wars”, a reading competition. Before traveling, each of the students had to read 8 preassigned
novels and become a “master” on one of the novels.
They competed against students from 19 schools in
southwestern Wisconsin. Of the eight students, 6
placed either 2nd or 3rd in their individual novel
competition. The students then, participated in a
grade level competition. The 5th graders placed 3rd.
Congratulations to all participants on their hard
work.
Back row: Abby Bures (2nd place on individual
novel), Sophie Jacobson (3rd place on individual
novel), Eva Schutz (3rd place on individual novel,
