Dear Potosi Middle and High School Families,
We are so excited for the school year to start! It’s been way too long since we’ve all been together in our classrooms!! As we are getting closer to school starting, here are a few things we wanted you to know.
A classroom supply list is attached. We understand that it may be difficult to find some of the items on our list. Please do not worry. Just purchase whatever you can for now. Click here to view the supply list.
As we did last year, each student will be assigned their own iPad or Chromebook to be used at school.
Please make sure your child brings a water bottle each day to school, as the water fountains will not be available for use.
If your child is bringing lunch from home please be sure to have an ice pack in their lunch if needed as the coolers will not be used this year for cold lunch storage.
Please make sure your child has a mask to wear in the classroom or ask your child’s teacher if you are unable to get one for your child. If you can, please add a box of disposable masks to your child’s school supply list.
Due to covid, we realize you may not want to send your child on the bus. However, if you plan to have your child ride the bus, please make sure to contact Jan Vaassen to make bussing arrangements. She can be reached at 608-778-3483 or email her at jan.vaassen@warcotransportation.com
Online registration is open. Please register your child as soon as possible though Skyward Family Access. You can pay any fees online via SchoolPay through August at no additional cost. If you have any questions about registering or how to pay online - please contact the school or district office.
We understand that with the start of the school year, there are going to be a lot of changes and things may look and/or seem a little different, but we are all committed to making this the best school year yet! Please note that more information on protocols and guidelines will be sent out as we are notified.
Sincerely,
Potosi Schools

Dear Potosi Elementary Families,
We are so excited for the school year to start! It’s been way too long since we’ve all been together in our classrooms!! As we are getting closer to school starting, here are a few things we wanted you to know.
A classroom supply list is attached. We understand that it may be difficult to find some of the items on our list. Please do not worry. Just purchase whatever you can for now. Click here to view the supply list.
Each student will be keeping his/her own supplies at their own desks, so please label everything to prevent mix-ups with other students.
As we did last year, each student will be assigned their own iPad or Chromebook to be used at school.
Please make sure your child brings a water bottle each day to school, as the water fountains will not be available for use.
If your child is bringing lunch from home please be sure to have an ice pack in their lunch if needed as the coolers will not be used this year for cold lunch storage. Also, please note that there will not be microwaves available to warm items up.
Elementary students will be entering from the Elementary doors this year, where they will see Michelle in her new/old office!
As you are thinking of sending in special birthday or Star of the Week snacks, please plan for pre-packaged snacks. Unfortunately, we are avoiding homemade snacks this year.
Please make sure your child has a mask to wear in the classroom or ask your child’s teacher if you are unable to get one for your child. If you can, please add a box of disposable masks to your child’s school supply list.
Due to covid, we realize you may not want to send your child on the bus. However, if you plan to have your child ride the bus, please make sure to contact Jan Vaassen to make bussing arrangements. She can be reached at 608-778-3483 or email her at jan.vaassen@warcotransportation.com
Online registration is open. Please register your child as soon as possible though Skyward Family Access. You can pay any fees online via SchoolPay through August at no additional cost. If you have any questions about registering or how to pay online - please contact the school or district office.
One of the biggest changes that we have for the beginning of the year is how Open House will look. Each teacher will be setting a date for students to visit their classroom and drop off supplies. To help limit the number of people in the building, we will be scheduling individual times and asking that only the student comes in for that quick visit. We understand that it is disappointing that parents can’t visit the room during Open House, but teachers will be more than happy to visit with all parents outside of the building. We will send pictures/videos as often as we can to keep parents connected.
We understand that there are going to be a lot of changes and things may look and/or seem a little different, but we are all committed to making this the best school year yet! If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask your child’s teacher.
Sincerely,
Potosi Teachers

Students and Parents
First, let me thank you for the work you have put in to continue with your education during the closure of the school buildings and facilities. I know distance learning is not easy and has taken extra effort from students, families, and teaching staff to ensure that we could still cover necessary material during these last eleven weeks.
As we look to conclude the 2019-2020 school year, please use the information in this letter for some important dates moving forward.
Meal Distribution
We will continue meal distribution for any person 18-years old and younger on Monday June 1st, Monday June 8th, Monday June 15th, and Monday June 22nd. Pickup times will remain the same: 11:00 am – 1:00 pm and again from 3:30 pm – 5:30 pm on those Mondays. Please continue to fill out the survey sent each week so that we have an approximate number of meals needed each Monday.
Materials Return
We will collect all school materials on Monday, June 15th. This includes any books, chromebooks, and I-Pads. If families are unable to return materials on June 15th, please contact the school to set up an alternate drop off time.
Graduation Ceremony for Class of 2020
While we have been able to celebrate our graduating seniors with a parade and social media postings, we have always planned to have a graduation ceremony to recognize the accomplishments of our seniors. Unfortunately, at this point, we are still unsure what guidelines and recommendations will be in place as we move through the summer months. With that uncertainty still hanging over us, we did want to schedule some dates for a ceremony so that families can pencil them onto their calendars. While we don’t know if the ceremony will be in the auditorium or outside (football field or parking lot) or the social distancing guidelines we will have to follow at the ceremony, please mark off these dates.
Friday, July 17th at 6:00 pm (Rain date on Saturday, July 18th at 11:00 am)
Friday, August 7th at 6:00 pm (Rain date on Saturday, August 8th at 11:00 am)
We will plan for the July date until we are told that we will still not be allowed to meet face-to-face at that time. If this is the case, we will then move to the August date. Rain dates will be used only if the ceremony is needed to be held outside.
As always, please contact us if you have any questions and we will continue to provide you any information as we get it.

District Administrator

Eighth graders Sydney Recker and Wynne Siegert represented Potosi Middle School at the Western Wisconsin Regional for National History Day competition at UW-LaCrosse this spring. This year's NHD contest started out with traditional local contests with live judging and interviews, but the regional, state, and national competitions are being held virtually. Sydney's documentary on Stan Lee, https://vimeo.com/416166842 , scored highest at the local contest, while Wynne's documentary on Kathleen Kennedy, https://vimeo.com/416166876 , scored high enough to qualify for the state competition at UW-Madison in late April. This year's NHD theme was "Breaking Barriers in History." These documentaries are the culmination of months of individual research and represent the great efforts of our students. Congratulations, girls!
Just a reminder - today is the last day to order online from the greenhouse. We've got some great flowers and some vegetable plants left!
https://www.schoolpay.com/pay/for/FFA-Plant-Sale-2020/Mdm1
We will be holding the drive-thru sale on Saturday from 9:00-noon. Come drive thru and see what's left from the greenhouse - checks and exact cash only!
Thank you to everyone who has purchased from the Potosi FFA this year! Your support of our program is appreciated!!
Potosi-Cassville Youth Rec Update
3rd thru 8th Grade Baseball and Softball
The Tri-County Youth Rec League had a meeting on Sunday, May 3rd. We have decided to wait until May 26th to have another meeting in hopes to know more about our season or if there will be a season. Our main concern is for the children, people attending the games, and their safety.
What we do know:
The school grounds for Potosi are shut down until June 30th. So, the earliest we would be able to play or practice is July 1st.
We are going to be returning your checks to void out. (If you do not get a returned check in the next couple of weeks please email me at: tleibfried@cassvillesd.k12.wi.us)
If we have a season in July, we will only charge what it will take to run the program for the shortened season. I don’t know this figure yet.
Nothing has been ordered at this point so if a kid would need a jersey (if they didn’t have one from last year), we will figure that out at some point.
We also wanted to give you a chance to determine if you want your son or daughter to play if there is a season. That is why we are giving you the money back and then will re-register if a season does occur.
What we do NOT know:
If there will be a season or not - May 26th is our meeting (hopefully we will know more then.)
How many people can gather at one time, how many fans can be there, and how many games we will be able to get in a shortened season.
Thank you for your patience as we gather more information, in the hopes to get some games for the kids this summer. There are no guarantees that there will be a season, although we are trying our hardest to make sure we are prepared as if we will be able to play.
Potosi Tee-Ball
Kindergarten through 2nd Grade
Potosi Tee-Ball will be cancelled and your checks will be returned to you as well. I am hoping to be able to put something together at a different time. I will put out more information on that when I figure something out. It might be similar to Little Chieftains.
Any questions please feel free to contact Tony Leibfried at tleibfried@cassvillesd.k12.wi.us or by phone 608-778-7079.
Thanks,
Coach Leibfried
