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!

Mr. Brakke

Port Pirate Day… is Friday, October 18. Let’s show our Pirate Pride by wearing Port Pirate clothing or green and white to cheer our team on to a Homecoming victory!  No Pirate clothing?  No worries, just wear your SES apparel!!

PWHS Homecoming Parade… is Friday, October 18 at 4:15pm. Let’s join Mr. Brakke as he leads the SES team with our school song and cheer. We will meet behind Cousins at 4pm. Be sure to also wear your Port Pirate clothing. All children must be accompanied by an adult. Following the parade will be the annual Tailgate Party in the PWHS courtyard with games, food, and entertainment sponsored by the PWHS Pirate Parent Group. See the flyer.

It’s Always A Little Tricky… to get into Port Washington before the Homecoming Parade and try to park. Patience and caution are always important things to keep in mind at this time. One option is just north of Chestnut St to the west of Wisconsin St is a parking lot owned by WE Energies. To avoid the traffic you should turn right on Park St, left on Chestnut St, and then left again on S Milwaukee St. You will see the lot off to your left along the Interurban Trail behind the fish cleaning station. Good Luck!!

Picture Retakes… are scheduled for first thing in the morning on Friday, October 18.  Please follow the instructions on the packet for retakes.  If your child was absent on Picture Day, you may pick-up an order form in the school office.
