We are excited to inform you that our second round of Family Conferences will be held on Thursday, October 10th from 1:30-7:00 p.m. and on Friday, October 11th from 8 a.m.- 12 p.m. These conferences provide a valuable opportunity for you to meet with your child's teachers and discuss their progress and areas of growth.
To make the sign-up process convenient for you, we will be using the same online sign-up system as we have been. Please keep an eye out for an email from the district office with the links to your child's teachers and you can find the link below. Additionally, if you would like to schedule a conference with Encore teachers, feel free to sign up for them as well.

A Call for Military Veterans
If you or a family member is a military veteran and would like to help our students out please contact the school office at 635-4347 ext. 4 or email Mr. Hausser at jhaus@poynette.k12.wi.us. We are looking to create a Veteran's Day experience on November 11th for our students. We are looking to have it be more informal and more of a question and answer format. Don't worry we will answer all of your questions prior to you committing. We will also spend time to prepare you for the experience.
PAD Parent Club School Directory
Another service that our PAD Parents' Club who does great work for us, offers is a student directory each year. If you would like your contact information to be available to other parents for birthday parties, playdates, etc., then you will want to get your name in the school directory.
- You can view the directory at any time at this link: Poynette ES & MS Directory
- If any changes are needed at any time you can email poynetteparentclub@
gmail.com, we would be happy to update the directory.

P.A.A.W.S. Program (Poynette Area Adults Working with Students)
We are excited this year to again roll out this program that will encompass our school’s mentors, tutors, WATCH D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) and field trip volunteers. We are really hoping to a lot more adults participate this year! We can set up volunteer plans that are flexible, weekly, or day-long that will support our students. Volunteers will have a T-shirt to wear for the day and also access to a free school lunch depending on your volunteer plan. We have the saying on a wall in our school of “Strong Schools, Strong Communities”. We would love to add your picture on our wall this year. If you are intrigued by these offers or interested in volunteering at our school, please contact Mr. Hausser at 635-4347 ext. 100 or at jhaus@poynette.k12.wi.us.
In order to volunteer at our school or participate in a field trip, you need to pass our district background check. These checks need to be completed every three years. Some of our parents/guardians will need an updated background check. If you are unsure of your status, you can contact the school office at 635-4347 ext. 107 or 109 to receive that information. The background check form is located on our website, here is the direct link: Criminal Background Check for Volunteers. We will seek additional volunteers in the Spring; continue to watch for communication updates.
We are so excited for the new school year and to see the learning and growth that will occur each and every day. As always, please contact the school office if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you and Go Puma Nation!
1st Watch D.OG. of the Year- Thank you Mr. Tester!
