Dear Families,
I hope you are staying warm and safe during this winter wonderland. As your students may have shared, we’ve experienced some disruptions recently due to ongoing HVAC issues. We are saddened that our brand-new HVAC system is not maintaining consistent temperatures throughout the school building.
As soon as the issue began, we immediately started working with our contractor and service company to resolve it. While improvements have been made, the extremely low temperatures have posed additional challenges for the system to keep up. We are committed to ensuring all classrooms maintain an adequate learning temperature of 65 degrees or higher.
To accommodate this, some classes may temporarily be held in alternative locations such as the Innovation Center, cafeteria, or gym concessions room. As always, please ensure your students come to school dressed in weather-appropriate clothing, as they walk outside between buildings daily.
Our top priority remains creating a warm and safe environment where our students can continue learning effectively. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Shiva Fischer (shiva@vilask12.org), school principal, or me directly (abby@vilask12.org).
Thank you for your understanding and support as we work through this situation.
Sincerely,
Abby Pettinger
Superintendent
Vilas School District

Superintendent Pettinger and Business Manager Linda Warhoe recently attended CASE Capital Day. During the event, they gained valuable insights into current educational topics being discussed in the legislative session and learned about the upcoming state budget focuses. Advocating for education and staying informed are key to supporting our students and school! 🏛️📚
Our elementary students had an incredible opportunity to connect with students in the Philippines using amazing technology! They learned about what school is like there and shared their own educational experiences here. This cultural exchange was a wonderful learning experience. 🌏✨
