The school board has officially confirmed that eighth-grade classes will return to the middle school. I am grateful to each of you who spoke up to advocate for this necessary change. Please remain observant as the administration begins the transition process back to the proper campus.

Started by CONCERNED PARENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS OF WISCONSIN DELLS SCHOOL DISTRICT 14 years ago
We disagree with the Wisconsin Dells School Board's decision to house eighth-grade classrooms at the Wisconsin Dells High School for the 2012-2013 school year and beyond. This decision was reached without any advance notice or input from any enrolled families in the Wisconsin Dells School District. The School Board representatives reached this decision at a special school board meeting which was not made public. We firmly believe that all eighth-grade classes should remain at the Spring Hill Middle School in Wisconsin Dells.


FEBUARY 6TH 2014 UPDATED PETITION


We continue to disagree with the Wisconsin Dells school administration's decision to move the 8th graders to the high school. The decision to move the 8th graders to the high school for the 2013-2014 school year was determined without any advance notice or considered input from enrolled families in the Wisconsin Dells School District.

We firmly believe that all 8th grade classes should be transferred back to Spring Hill Middle School and remain at the middle school beginning with the 2014- 2015 school year!

The feedback from families continues to reinforce how vital it is for middle school students to remain in an age-appropriate environment. We are currently organizing our materials to present a clear case for the return of eighth grade to the Spring Hill Middle School.

The level of engagement this petition has received confirms that our community remains deeply concerned regarding the placement of eighth-grade students. Your continued support highlights the necessity for greater transparency in our district decision-making processes. We are preparing to present these collective concerns to the administration.

Keep them with the middle schoolers where they belong. They are kids not high schoolers. Totally not okay to just spring this on parents.

The board needs to stop acting like they own the district. Why was this meeting hidden from us? Let the 8th graders be kids.

Spring Hill is where they need to be. The transition is hard enough without forcing them into a high school setting entirely too young.
