Its been a banner year for our students

Greetings!
Thank you for taking
the time to read through
our Back to School tab.
Here at the Stoughton
Area School District, we
are coming off a banner
year literally in the case
of Stoughton High School!
Just a few months ago,
I was proud to attend
a ceremony and watch
while SHS was presented
with a banner for being
named the state winner
of the Wisconsin Spirit
of Excellence award. This
accolade represents work
by all of our students and
staff in areas of leadership,
sportsmanship, service
and academics. It is an
honor that reflects on our
entire school community
because it validates work
by our staff at all levels and
the generous support we
have received from our
community.
Yet the Spirit of Excellence Award is just one

accomplishment in which
we can all take pride this
year.
We continue to post an
outstanding
graduation
rate here in
Stoughton.
O u r fo u r year graduation rate is
97.2%.
In the
2015-16
school year,
our community helped us provide
more than $207,000 in college scholarships to graduating seniors.
We continue to exceed
the state average in student achievement.
Our students have
expanded their horizons
by traveling literally and
virtually.
Our Quiz Bowl program

again qualified for nationals, our choir performed
at Carnegie Hall for the
third time in 10 years and
a group of River Bluff students just
returned
f ro m a n
educational trip
to Washington,
D.C.
Some
of our
students
visited
the Galapagos Islands or
Buffalo Bill Center in Wyoming thanks to technology we have brought to our
schools.
Our staff continues to
implement innovative
strategies for student
learning. Our Innovation
Grant program is now
entering its third year.
That program
has already
helped create
21st century
learning spaces, bring makerspaces into
our schools
and deploy
engaging
technologies. This
years round
of grants will
help create
inquiry-based
learning environments in
classrooms, build student
literacy, promote student-centered learning
and deepen engagement
among schools, families
and students.
Yet our staff also encourages innovation in many
other ways, whether
through initiatives like
Genius Hour or literacy
challenges to foster independent reading by students. You can read about

those initiatives and a lot
more inside this tab.
As you read through
these pages, you can find
just some of the reasons
why I am proud to be District Administrator of the
Stoughton Area School
District and why I am
excited about the 2016-17

school year. Thank you for
all that you do for our kids
and let my office know if
you would like more information about our schools.

Learning Inside & Outside the Classroom

Opportunities to learn inside and outside of the classroom abound in Stoughton schools. We are pleased to be
able to offer a variety of extracurricular and co-curricular activities as well as unique learning opportunities for our
students.
Outdoor learning
Outdoor learning opportunities exist at Fox Prairie and Kegonsa elementary schools and at Stoughton High School.
Fox Prairies school garden features raised beds and a sub-irrigation
system that waters on a timer and is rain-sensitive. Kegonsas garden has
doubled in size since it was created several years ago, and last school year
(2015-16) donated more than 311 pounds of produce to local food pantries.
Stoughton High School has started an inclusive, outdoor classroom
that can be utilized by multiple content areas, schools, and the community. Environmental Science students conducted experiments to collect
data concerning the biodiversity on the high school campus, developed an outdoor classroom map, created education stations, researched
endangered and native species, went on field trips to explore outdoor spaces, and designed and built feature to be
included in the outdoor space.
Wellness challenge

Middle school extracurricular

activities
Sandhill Elementary School students, staff and families learned more about wellness by competing in the Wisconsin Driven to Better Health. Last year, Sandhill finished in the Top 6 out of 150 participating schools.
Workplace experience
In the 2015-16 school year, 14 Stoughton High School students participated in the youth apprenticeship program.
Through this paid work experience program, students gain valuable skills and hands-on experience in their chosen
career path by working side-by-side with industry sector professionals. Those apprenticeship areas included opportunities in the dairy industry, biotechnology, engineering, veterinary technician, auto
technician, nursing assistant and the building trades.

A group of 20 students journeyed to Washington, D.C. in June 2016 to expand their

knowledge of U.S. history through a four-day trip. Led by social studies teachers Jennifer
Kolberg and Kyle Freund, the kids were able to visit historical sites like Arlington National Cemetery, Fords Theatre, the White House, Capitol Hill and the Holocaust Museum.
Stoughton High School Choir students visited New York to perform at Carnegie Hall
during Spring Break, while our renowned Norwegian Dancers this year performed on
tour in Seattle. Every other year, Stoughton High School participates in an exchange
program with a school in Germany.

continues growth
Above, a Fox Prairie student learns about DNA extraction during a visit from Promega staff. Below, a Kegonsa student engages in an iTakeApart activity; a student uses an app to learn about the heart; and a SHS student uses Google Cardboard during Teen Tech Week.
Kegonsa students participated in a weekly iCreate

time, where kids got the
opportunity to build with
recyclable materials, make
towers, bridges and spans,
do computer coding, use
LEGOs, erector sets, spirographs, dominoes, marble
runs and more.
The weekly period was
for all students, and iCreate materials were in every
classroom. And in the Kegonsa Library Media Center, students gained more
understanding of how
things work by breaking
them down in the librarys
iTakeApart program.
That meant they got
a chance to come to the
library and take apart tape
recorders, fans, keyboards,
remote controls, printers
and more. Once, when a
printer broke down and
a repairperson came to
the library to fix it, a group
of students came in and
stood over his shoulder and
watched. Their question:
If it is broke, can (we) take
that apart?

last school year.
Its been another big growth year for Fab Lab

Stoughton.
Our expansion included increasing the number of Adult/
Child Workshops
to meet demand
and adding Adult

To s u p p o r t t h i s
growth, we trained
two additional

We now have a total of five trained instructors
from the diverse fields of Technology, Math,
Physics, Art, and Science. This summer we are
adding a Music and the STEM middle school
instructor to the group.
Our Fab Lab Quarterly Tours brought in
administrators and teachers from 17 school districts in the 15-16 school year to see our stateof-the-art program. We have become a model
for innovation in education for the state of Wisconsin.
Also, the lieutenant governor and the governor toured our lab on separate occasions. All
tours are student-led, and they do not fail to
impress every guest who visits Fab Lab Stoughton.

Talented and Gifted program

Talented and Gifted (TAG) programming has its foundations within classrooms. The basis of
effective education
in Stoughton schools
is rigorous classroom
instruction, a positive
learning environment
and school-wide support. All students are
expected to receive
instruction that meets
state standards and
district benchmarks
(goals).
Classroom teachers
recognize that each
child learns at a different depth and pace,
which may require curricular adaptations.

Differentiation of
instruction is a tool
used by teachers to
meet varying student
needs. In most cases,
differentiation strategies are integrated
throughout the curricular areas rather than
occurring as special
events.
Our Talented
and Gifted model
is grounded in the
State of Wisconsin
Department of Public Instructions (DPI)
Comprehensive and
Integrated Model for
Gifted Education, also

referred to as the Pyramid Model. This model
grew out of Wisconsins Standard (t) legislation which outlines
compliances for K-12
gifted education that
all public school districts must meet.
For more information about the Talented and Gifted program,

Annual notice of special education

referral and evaluation procedures
Upon request, the
Stoughton Area School District (SASD) is required to
evaluate a child for eligibility for special education services.
A request for evaluation
is known as a referral. When
the district receives a referral, the district will appoint
an Individualized Education Program (IEP) team to
determine if the child has
a disability, and if the child
needs special education
services. The district locates,
identifies, and evaluates all
children with disabilities
