NOVEMBER- SUAMICO LITERACY NEWS:
Our goal at Suamico Elementary is to grow lifelong readers who love to read. Sharing books together as a nightly routine has so many benefits. Books ignite curiosity, encourage creativity, grow vocabulary, and open conversations that improve language and learning. Keeping a focus on the enjoyment of books when you read aloud or together, as well as having your child read the books that are sent home nightly, is a great way to ensure that your child is successful in school and beyond. Happy Reading! P.S. Please remember to donate any extra of your used children’s books to our Free Little Library. There is a box in the front entry by the office. THANK YOU! Meet our Literacy Staff at Suamico: Mrs. Kathy Pludeman, Literacy Interventionist

NOTES FROM SCHOOL COUNSELOR ALI FOLEY:
Hello Suamico Parents/Guardians, Suamico Elementary is moving forward with the district’s goal of becoming a Trauma Sensitive School District and is undergoing training, which was initially brought to our district by SaintA’s out of Milwaukee last school year. The elementary counseling team has created a newsletter to compliment healthy child brain development. Please take time to read this newsletter and as always, please contact the counseling department with any questions or concerns you may have.

NOVEMBER 2018 - FROM YOUR SCHOOL BOARD:
Budget Season
During our annual meeting last month, community members received a detailed review of the school district’s 2018-19 budget and at the October 22, 2018 School Board Meeting, the Board of Education approved a levy of $26,570,826, which supports a district budget of $89,505,581 – an increase of 3.18% from the previous year. This levy will result in the school’s portion of our property taxes remaining stable at $9.19.
In addition, the Board shared with community members the proposed purchase of 10 acres of land directly in front of Bay Port High School. After significant consultation with leaders in real estate, the community and local businesses, the district formed a plan to move forward with an offer.
The source of funds for the purchase will come from two sources:
This acquisition represents the beginning of a long-term process in which the district is developing a “best-use” plan on leveraging this resource for future students. We hope the 2018-19 budget and this land purchase demonstrate to our community and students that we value their education today and well into the future. If you have any questions for the Board of Education, please reach out to your Board member, Rachelle Paulsen.

The source of funds for the purchase will come from two sources:
- $389,000 from the sale of surplus land
- Approximately $1.5 million from an assigned district account of which the funds are specifically designated only for capital projects/purchases.
