Park View Elementary just received the New Wisconsin Promise School of Recognition award for the 7th year in a row!

To be recognized as a School of Promise, student achievement on statewide reading and mathematics assessments must outperform the state average for similar schools. Congratulations to all students and staff at Park View!  The award will be presented next month at a ceremony at the State Capitol.

The daily schedule for Cudahy High School has changed this school year.   Last year, the Leadership Team examined the past schedule and found teachers and staff needed more time to collaborate and examine student progress.  The new schedule is as follows. The major difference from the past schedule is that Tuesday mornings will begin, for students, at 8:44 A.M.   

Cudahy High School Schedule  - Third Lunch

Cudahy Middle School recently selected the cast for their upcoming musical Nottingham. Eighth graders Heaven Harms, Dana Papala, Jorga Lika, and Cameron Vugrinovich are preparing for their roles along with a cast of 43 Cudahy Middle School students. 

The date for the Nottingham musical is scheduled for November 12.

On Wednesday, September 23, Cudahy High School will host the presentation Making it Count for incoming freshman.  The Making High School Count presentation tells first-semester high school freshmen how to recognize their potential for future success and how to make the most of their high school experience. In this presentation, students learn that the choices they make as early as freshman year can impact their opportunities upon graduation.

Students also will learn tips for a successful transition into high school.  They will understand the importance of grades to achieve current and future goals. They will learn test-taking skills and strategies, which enable them to get better grades. They will develop important skills through active involvement in extracurricular activities. And they will learn study skills to make their study time more effective.

For more information about this event, contact Cudahy High School at 294-2700.

On September 3, the Kosciuszko PTA held a Back to School Picnic for the parents and children attending the school. At this picnic, families enjoyed great food with the teachers, staff, and other families in the school.

On Wednesday, September 9, parents of Cudahy High School students can experience their child's schedule by attending 10-minute mini-classes. During these sessions, teachers explain course goals and parents can ask questions and see a shortened version of their child's day.
