Final PACE Classes

Good Morning!


  This week, May 29- June 4 will be our last PACE sessions of the year.  We will be celebrating our accomplishments over the past year and look towards the future for next year.  Summer is a great time to spend relaxing with family and friends, but it should also be a time to make sure to keep your brain sharp! Make sure that you set some time to continue reading and practicing the math concepts that we studied this year.  This should also be a time for exploration, research some questions that you had this year.  Go to a museum or wildlife sanctuary.  Simply keep your brain stimulated and try to limit VGD (Video Game Disease).  This will ensure that you don't lose anything and are ready to go in the fall!  Again, I will be in a new position next school year at Lincoln-Erdman.  It has been a pleasure getting to know the students, parents, and staff at Jefferson, Pigeon River, and Washington schools.  You will be missed!


Sincerely,


Mr. Washuleski

PACE and RtI

Good Morning Students, Parents, and Staff;

  The Sheboygan Area School District is moving towards a new education model called RtI, (Response to Intervention) that will increase the intervention time for students due to having one intervention specialist at each elementary school.  Parents of PACE identified students will be receiving a letter that explains the new vision that will incorporate the PACE program and gifted students.  This shift will mean that I will no longer serve as the PACE teacher for Jefferson, Lincoln-Erdman, Pigeon River, and Washington schools.  My new role will be the Intervention Specialist at Lincoln-Erdman Elementary.  I would like to thank all my parents, staff, and most importantly the students over the years that I have had the unique opportunity to see grow and "Raise the Bar" in their everyday lives!  I will hold onto those special memories and please know that if you ever need anything I will be there!

"Be good to each other, but more importantly, be good to yourself"

Humbly Yours,

Mr. Washuleski
