Notice from Nurse Brooke

CES Families,

If you received a letter in the mail notifying you that your child is still non-compliant with immunizations, please complete the waiver section in step 4 of the Student Immunization Record, it was with the letter. If your child gets the missing vaccines you can update the school for the waiver to be removed and the immunizations to be updated. 

A second letter will be sent out on 10/6/2026 for the students who are still not up to date or do not have a waiver on file. 

Per the Wisconsin Department of Health Services Law Clarification, schools are required to exclude non-compliant students in Kindergarten through Grade 5, starting on the 31st school day. If you do not provide records for missing immunizations or complete a waiver for your child we will be required to exclude them starting on 10/14/2026 until these requirements are met. 


Please reach out to:

October Character Trait- Responsibility

For the month of October, our focus will be on Responsibility. Students will be learning about and practicing how to:
  • Take ownership of their actions and choices.
  • Follow through on commitments and complete tasks.
  • Make safe, respectful decisions at school and in the community.
We invite you to reinforce this trait at home by encouraging your child to take responsibility in age-appropriate ways, such as completing chores, managing their belongings, and being accountable for their words and actions.

Thank you for your continued support in helping our students grow as responsible learners and community members.
