Greetings Saukville Elementary Students, Parents/Guardians, and Community Members:

I would like to welcome all of you to the 2019-2020 school year.  I hope everyone had an exciting summer and are all fired up for another great year at SES.  Our mission is always to educate all students to their fullest potential in a safe, caring, and productive learning environment.

There are a couple exciting announcements for the new year.  First, we have two new teachers, Caity Martinez will be our new music teacher and Paige Stiede will be our new kindergarten teacher.  Also, the kindergarten wing has had air conditioning installed.  That will sure be nice during some of those hot days we always have in the fall.

The Saukville Parent Association (SPA) has also been meeting and setting their goals for the school year.  I would like to take this opportunity to thank the officers for their continual dedication to improving our school.  Whether it is Winter Wonderland, High Interest Day, or the many Family Fun Nights, our students are constantly being provided with fun and exciting enrichment opportunities.  Our officers this year are Vanessa Marratt (President), Amanda Goetz (Vice President), Kristin Lengle (Treasurer), and Bridget Ruffin (Secretary).  Please feel free to contact any of the officers for more information regarding SPA or how to get involved. 

In a continued effort to keep all our students safe we have updated our pick-up/drop-off procedures.  While I know pick-up and drop-off can be slow and frustrating at times, please just remember the safety of the students is our top priority.   We would rather take an extra few minutes if it means everyone gets to where they are supposed to be safely. 

I would like to thank all of you, our parents and guardians for entrusting us with your most prized possessions.  We truly appreciate the honor of working with your children and look forward to working with all of you this school year.  Please call the office anytime if you have questions, or feel free to e-mail any staff member regarding your child.

Thank you, and as always, GO EAGLES!

Front Circle… is only for dropping off students after the bell rings.  To keep the traffic flowing we ask that you do not park in front of the school and walk your child to the door or in the building.  If you choose to do this, parking is available on Mill St and a few spots to the south.  Thank you!!

If You’re Dropping Off Late… please walk your child in.  With our new security system the front door is locked and kiddos are unsure what to do.  Thank you for your cooperation!
