Welcome Back Whirlwinds!

Welcome to the 2024-25 school year! The whole staff at Shapiro STEM Academy has been working hard this summer to prepare for an amazing year. We are excited to welcome your students back to school.

2024-25 is going to be a year to remember! We are excited to continue to guide our students forward in literacy, math, STEM and social-emotional learning. Our school family is ready to welcome everyone back and get started learning and growing together. Our staff family will be continuing digging into our Conscious Discipline learning, best practices in reading, writing and math, and working to increase family engagement. What does that mean for you? More communication from us about school expectations, increased opportunities for you to participate in your child’s learning and a team effort to work together for what is best for your child.

Keep an eye on your email for updates as the start of the year gets closer.

FROM THE HEALTH OFFICE!!!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR END OF YEAR!

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! Here are some reminders to help make this school year off to a great start.

If your child will need to take medication at school, please work with your doctor to have the following form completed and signed before the start of the school year. As a reminder, the directions on the medication bottle must match the written order on the medication request form and must be brought in their original containers to the health office by a parent/guardian.

Medication Treatment/Request Form

If you have a child with a severe allergy, asthma, or seizures the following forms will need to be completed for our school nurse. Inhalers, Epi-Pens, Allergy medications, etc., must be in their original containers. Expiration dates will be monitored.

Medication Forms and Emergency Action Plans need to be completed each school year and handed into the health office during an open house or the first week of school. Please click the following link if you are in need of a form: OASD Health Services

Allergy & Anaphylaxis Emergency Plan

Asthma Action Plan for Home and School

Seizure Action Plan

All students are required to have an updated immunization record or immunization waiver on file with the school health office. If you need an immunization waiver form, please contact the school health office. Please inform your school of the immunizations your child has received by emailing the school nurse your child’s name and date of immunization.

Picture Day is September 26th, 2024

Preparing for Pictures

School safety and the wellbeing of our students and staff are our top priorities. We recently have implemented SPEAK UP, SPEAK OUT. This system was created by the Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of School Safety (OSS). Speak Up Speak Out is a comprehensive, one-stop place to turn with important concerns.

Students, parents, school staff, or any community members can submit a school safety concern or threat via our website, their website (https://speakup.widoj.gov/) mobile phone application (available on their website), or toll-free number (available on their website). Staff work around-the-clock to respond to tips and to deploy a response locally by communicating directly with school administrators, law enforcement, and counselors.

New SUSO Text Feature

Speak Up Speak Out - Wisconsin is happy to announce a new feature: SUSO Text Tips. SUSO Text Tips will allow tipsters to report concerning behavior even if they do not have the SUSO website or mobile app. Tipsters can text SUSO to 738477 and make a report to SUSO via a direct link to the SUSO tip form. SUSO Text Tips will make it even easier to submit a confidential report on a mobile device.
