Communication

The School District of Wausaukee's first priority is the safety of our student and staff. The School District wants to keep all parents/guardians, students, staff and our surrounding community informed in the event of school closing, late start, early release or any other related events.  

 

Provided is a list of media outlets that the School District will notify:

• Radio Stations
• TV Stations
• Posting on the School District of Wausaukee Facebook page
• Posting on the School Districts website homepage
• The School Districts automated answering system
  • Call the School District at 715-856-5151
    • Option 6 for Special Announcements

An automated message will be sent via Infinite Campus (Student Information System) at all contacts provided to the School District. The message can be received by phone call, text message, email or the Infinite Campus Portal. 

 

If you have any questions or concerns please contact Laura Figas, District Administrative Assistant at 715-856-5153 Ext 413 or figasl@wausaukee.k12.wi.us. 

 

In the past, our schools sent home paper flyers and newsletters in students' backpacks. As part of our efforts to be more environmentally friendly, to embrace innovative technology, and to reach more families, Wausaukee Schools has transitioned from paper to a digital flyer delivery method using the company Peachjar.

 

In the beginning of the 2017/2018 school year,  Peachjar eflyers may be sent directly to parents'/guardians' email inboxes. To ensure smooth delivery of this communication, we suggest parents/guardians add "school@peachjar.com" to their email contacts. Note: add "school@peachjar.com" just as written; do not change it to the name of a specific school @peachjar.com. When the first eflyer is received, be sure to click "always display images." 

Parents/guardians who do not receive an email from Peachjar may not have an email address on file with their home school. Please see these FAQs for instructions on adding an email address to the Peachjar distribution list or for additional information. 

 

Eflyers will also be posted on school websites by clicking on the Peachjar logo and Facebook page for easy access . The Peachjar system is used exclusively for distribution of school-approved eflyers. Email addresses will not be shared or used for any other purpose. Thank you for helping us save time, money, and lots of trees!

 

The School District of Wausaukee cooperates with approved community partners by posting eflyers online and

distributing them electronically through our service provider, Peachjar. This digital eflyer platform

helps our division to be more environmentally friendly, embrace innovative technology, reach more

families and maintain fiscal responsibility. Eflyers will now be posted on each school’s web page for

easy access and emailed directly to parents’ and guardians inboxes.

 

NOTE: All community organizations that want to submit flyers for distribution in the Wausaukee School District must receive approval at the district level. Community organizations will now be encouraged to use Peachjar for the distribution of electronic flyers. For outside community groups and organizations, electronic distribution of flyers is free for programs that are entirely free. For programs and events that have fees associated with them, Peachjar charges a fee for electronic distribution. This fee is typically much less than the cost to copy and deliver paper flyers to each school. Generally, if an organization receives income from the activity promoted in the flyer, there will be a fee. If the activity is free and open to the public, the flyer will be considered for a fee Waiver.

 

To request flyer approval:

• When you are ready to upload a flyer, email your flyer for approval (in a PDF format) to figasl@wausaukee.k12.wi.us.

• District staff will review the material and approve or deny based on the standards below. Flyer approval will occur within 5 business days.

• Approval simply means the material has been reviewed and meets the guidelines for district wide electronic distribution. The district reserves the right to rescind approval to any organization or person if a complaint is received or the organization or person is found to be in violation of instructions from the Communications Office.
