In the midst of our uncertain times I wanted to share some fun pictures. Darwin our turtle has moved into his new habitat. Thanks to Jeff Magnus at Aquatic Specialty for donating a 55 gallon tank and stand. Many staff, students, and parents have donated time and money to his move. The cleaning
process required special smelling equipment for the students 😂#bettertogether #FontanaPride

Dear Families,
Governor Tony Evers has issued a statewide closure of all schools in Wisconsin. We will close after school on Wednesday, March 18, 2020 and tentatively reopen on April 6, 2020. The closure will include cancellation of all school related activities and childcare.
Teachers will be sending information for virtual learning, and some may send paper work as well.
The Department of Public Instruction is working on guidance for schools, and it remains unclear if there will be any lost instructional days forgiven by the state. More information will be made available as soon as updates are received. Please call our office or contact administration with any questions/concerns.
Respectfully,
Mark Wenzel, Administrator [email protected]
Steve Torrez, Principal
