In this episode, we’re talking about student report cards – specifically Elementary school report cards, because they’re changing.

How and why would a report card change? Good question. We associate report cards, as a rule, with letter grades - A, A minus, B etcetera. Get an A or B, and you’re doing well. B- or C there might be some issues, Ds and Fs indicate problems. Pretty clear markers, but not very informative and not really how we assess how elementary students are doing.

Director of Curriculum and Instruction Christie Gajewski is joining us today to talk about the change South Milwaukee elementary parents will see in the language on the report cards.

South Milwaukee has officially claimed its title as the Home Field Pride Contest Champions!
On Thursday, Superintendent Deidre Roemer and Athletic and Activities Director Ante Udovicic were presented with the Homefield Pride Champions Trophy, a check for $1,000, and a framed image of the finished field and track from Ryan Anderson of Midwest Sports and Turf Systems and Elizabeth Rudolph of Wisconsin Sports Network.
