Yesterday, Thursday, Feb. 6, 2025, at the YMCA’s Annual Community Impact Report, the Fond du Lac School District was honored to receive the 2024 Community Spirit Award.
This award recognizes those who go above and beyond to build bridges, forge partnerships and create a sense of togetherness.
We are grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with our community and make a meaningful impact on our students’ futures. Thank you to the YMCA for this recognition and to all our partners who help support and strengthen our schools.

As temperatures drop, Evans Elementary School reminds students to stay prepared with the “Frosty Five” from Ms. Bingen’s first-grade classroom: snow pants, boots, jacket, hat, and gloves. This thoughtful message from Evans encourages everyone to stay warm and ready for the ever-changing winter weather.
A few weeks ago, Theisen hosted a Parent Engagement Night, giving families a glimpse into a student’s day. They explored a typical schedule, navigated Skyward, and learned about iReady.

“We had the honor of recently sharing at the school board meeting the immense amount of gains that have been made in all of our buildings. Our report cards were shared, and the gains were anywhere from 25% to 75% within our schools, we are doing the right things for kids every day, and it's showing in our academic data.” – Principal Jessica Hughes

“My favorite part about teaching kindergarten is that the students are always excited to come and learn. They love everything about school. I love seeing the growth that happens and how they come to school at different levels, with different backgrounds, but all get from point A to point B. Seeing that aha moment is amazing. I love being a kindergarten teacher.” - Kim Trent, Evans Elementary School

Fifth grade band students at Rosenow took center stage, showcasing their musical talents with special performances for the younger grades. Their hard work and dedication were on full display, inspiring future musicians and creating a memorable experience for all. A fantastic way to celebrate their progress and passion for music.
The opportunities available to our Fondy students through co-curricular, extra-curricular and school-day programs are truly remarkable. Additionally, the community-building events that support our students showcase the incredible spirit of collaboration and pride in our schools and community. No matter your interests or background, there are countless ways to support and celebrate the amazing talents of our Fondy students.
The current State school funding formula does not allow districts to keep up with the increasing costs associated with funding school operations. If districts need additional funds to support school operations, they must ask taxpayers for approval through an operational referendum.
This scenario is not unique to Fond du Lac. In fact, the majority of Wisconsin school districts currently have active referendums to fund operational needs.
The current budget projection shows a budget shortfall of $7-9 million per year over the next four years. This projection model assumes no new funding support from the State. While we are hopeful the State will provide additional funding to districts, we are forced to plan with the assumption of only having current funds. We are asking taxpayers to support additional funds to support school operations so that the District does not have to make major cuts to staff and programming, that would impact student learning.
