Waukesha EAST

Mark your calendars! Come support your East Students and see what they have been working on.

SDW is participating in the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) again this summer!

This program is a fantastic opportunity for all students (18 and under) to enjoy free breakfast and lunch. The best part? You don't have to be enrolled in summer school or attend our schools during the regular school year. All you need is to live in our district. And yes, it's completely free! No applications required; just show up at one of the five serving sites.

We are excited to announce the launch of our much-anticipated Competency-Based Reporting Playbook!

The Competency-Based Reporting Playbook represents a significant shift in how we approach assessment, grading, and reporting.

It offers a comprehensive guide to moving away from traditional points and percentages and towards a more holistic, learner-centered approach.

This playbook is designed to help educators, school leaders, and systems design new structures that reflect the holistic growth and capabilities of each and every learner.

This playbook is the result of 20+ interviews, months of research, and curating lessons learned over the years within Learner-Centered Collaborative's own work with partner schools and districts.

That means there's a lot to explore!

As you do, take your time to reflect, gain inspiration, and test new ideas (at an appropriate scale) within your learning community.

By this time next year, we can't wait to see how your practices have shifted and the impact it has on learners!
