A Chat with Mrs. Chrisman...
Happy New Year!! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and an enjoyable winter break. We were welcomed back to school with some very cold temperatures. The students had indoor recess all week, which added for some extra energy in the building. I am hoping for warmer temperatures in the weeks ahead. This Friday, January 16th is the end of 2nd quarter. It is so hard to believe that half of the year has already passed. Students will be dismissed at 11:30 on Friday. Thank you for your continued support. Have a great week!!!

Testing and Registration Neenah Joint School District is in the process of screening and evaluating students who would benefit from participating in one of our Magnet Classes - a 4/5 class at Lakeview Elementary, a 6th grade class at Horace Mann, and a 7/8 class at Shattuck Middle School. These classes are a component of our Gifted and Talented Program for High Ability students. The Magnet Classes serve eligible students from all schools in the District. Students benefiting from Magnet Classes are those who have demonstrated very high levels of intellectual ability. The Magnet Classes are designed to offer students opportunities to work at a greater depth or at a faster pace than in the regular education setting. To learn more about the NJSD Magnet Classes, please attend an informational meeting on Tuesday, February 17, 2015, at 5:30 p.m. in Shattuck Auditorium. As a result of increased interest, enrollment caps have been established for Magnet Classes of 2015-16. Testing for Magnet Class placement will take place in March, the week prior to Spring Break. All available spots will be filled through this test session. Additional testing for Magnet Class placement will take place in the summer, but if enrollment caps have been reached through the March testing, qualifying students will be put on the ranked waiting list until a spot becomes available. Magnet test registrations will be accepted between January 26, 2015 and March 6, 2015. To sign your child up for Magnet testing, go to the NJSD website (www.neenah.k12.wi.us) after January 26th, then click on the link for Magnet Test Information and Registration. Test registrations will not be accepted after March 6, 2015. Check out Mrs. McMahon's
