Message from District...

To our Prairie du Chien Area Public School District Families,

There are no words to explain or to express the feelings that follow
the horrific tragedy that occurred in Connecticut on Friday. All of
our thoughts and prayers are with the Newtown community.

Today our staff members, across all three buildings, are meeting with
their Building Administrators to review our safety procedures and
policies. Keeping all of our students and staff safe is a top
priority. We also plan to meet with our Law Enforcement Officials to
discuss security measures to keep our schools safe.

We are in the process of planning a Community Meeting at 7:30 pm on
December 19, 2012, in the High School Theater, to allow parents and
other community members a chance to provide input or ask questions on
the subject of school security. We are all in this together, and we
desire as much input as possible. This is a small community that
deeply cares for each other.

Friday happenings...

Check out the great Friday happenings at BAK!  Whenever I am feeling "blah", all I have to do is take a quick walk through the classrooms and hallways.  The staff at BAK are top notch, and we should all feel fortunate that this is what our students have the privilege of being a part of every day.

I hope you all have a great weekend.

Thank you for your patience...

I am currently out of room to post pictures on the blog.  I am working to figure out the best way to move forward with this!  Thank you for your patience, and I look forward to being up and running again soon.

Lucky Mrs. Stuckey!
