PEWAUKEE SCHOOL DISTRICT PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PD Quick Links: Document PD DAY STRUCTURE Document 2025-26 PD PATHWAYS Document PD PATHWAY SIGN UP Document SUMMER ACADEMY COURSES Document STAFF RESOURCES 2026 SUMMER ACADEMY ANTHONY PIZZO Assistant Superintendent of Teaching and Learning As we continue our commitment to opening the door to each child’s future, I am excited to invite you to the Summer 2025 Professional Development Academy —a carefully designed opportunity to deepen our learning in alignment with our district’s strategic goals and building initiatives. This summer, our focus remains on literacy and meeting the needs of all students, ensuring that every professional learning experience is purposeful, impactful, and directly connected to the success of our students. We will kick off the summer with two keynote learning sessions, setting the stage for a summer of growth and collaboration. Tammy Gibbons, Director of Professional Development & Information Services at the Association of Wisconsin School Administrators, will lead the PLC Summer Academy, helping us explore the power of Professional Learning Communities (PLCs). This session will highlight best practices for collaboration, data-driven decision-making, and instructional improvement—critical elements that will help us strengthen our work as teams and support student success more effectively. Additionally, we are fortunate to welcome Novak Education to facilitate the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Lesson Design Workshop. UDL is about designing learning experiences that set high expectations for all students—both those who are advanced and those who may struggle. This framework ensures that all learners have access to rigorous, engaging instruction by removing barriers and providing multiple ways for students to engage, process, and express their learning. By embracing UDL principles, we can create inclusive, student-centered classrooms where every student, regardless of background or ability, is challenged and supported to reach their full potential. I strongly encourage all staff to engage in one of these two keynote learning experiences to ground our summer of professional growth in shared learning. Each session offers a unique lens on the work we do—whether it’s strengthening our collaborative culture through PLCs or enhancing lesson design to reach every student. Both will provide actionable strategies to bring back to our classrooms and teams, ensuring that we continue to grow together in alignment with our district priorities. PD TRACKER SUMMER PD COURSE BOOKLET Summer Academy Links DROP COURSE FORM REGISTRATION FORM Throughout the summer, additional sessions will provide opportunities to enhance literacy instruction, ensuring that every student becomes a confident reader and writer. We will also focus on inclusive and differentiated instruction, equipping educators with tools to support the success of all students, regardless of background or ability. Additionally, sessions will emphasize high-impact instructional practices that elevate student engagement, critical thinking, and academic achievement. This summer is an opportunity for us to learn together, grow together, and ensure that every initiative we pursue is meaningful, aligned, and effective. I am excited to continue this journey with you and look forward to a summer of collaboration, inspiration, and progress toward our shared vision of student success. Let’s make this a summer of intentional learning and impactful growth—because when we focus on the right work, we truly open the door to each child’s future.

DPI Open Enrollment The state’s Open Enrollment program allows students grades K-12 to attend a public school in a district other than the one in which they reside, if space is available. If you have questions about the open enrollment program, please call Tammy Yundt at 262-695-5037. Part-Time Open Enrollment FAQs ENROLLMENT OPEN FEB 2ND - APRIL 30 O.E. Seats for 2026-27 Open Enrollment application period for the 2026-27 school year is 2026-27 Open Enrollment Brochures: ENGLISH SPANISH HMONG FAQS FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Who can apply? Any student from any district may apply with the understanding that parents/guardians must provide all transportation to and from school. How do you apply? The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) Open Enrollment application process is now online. Online applications are automatically sent directly to resident and nonresident school districts as well as the DPI. Online applicants are encouraged to print the full completed application for their records. Please visit here to fill out an application. Those who do not have access to a computer may request paper applications from any school district. Paper applications must be sent to the individual nonresident school districts within the application period. Please do not submit both paper and online applications. NOTICE to all Current Open Enrollment Parents: If you have a child who is currently enrolled through Open Enrollment there is no need to reapply for that child. NOTICE to Pewaukee School District residents who move out of the district this school year Current Pewaukee residents who move out of the district during this current school year and have completed a tuition waiver must also complete an Open Enrollment application if they wish to have their child be considered to attend Pewaukee School District in Fall 2026. Parents/guardians must submit an application between midnight Monday, February 2 until 4pm on Thursday, April 30, 2026, online at www.dpi.wi.gov . Parents will receive a response from the district mailed in late May/early June. How are people notified if they are chosen from the waiting list? Using contact information provided on the Open Enrollment application, the district first calls parents, and then emails them if a phone call is not successful. When do I find out if my child has been accepted? The resident district and all districts to which families have applied will notify parents in writing near the end of May/ beginning of June. Are grades or attendance a consideration? No, state law only requires that schools review pre-expulsion and expulsion records and check to see if a child is in special education. What if my child is accepted at more than one district? Parent may apply to up to three districts. Each district operates its lottery process independently of the others, therefore it is possible to be chosen by more than one district. Parents may reject an invitation to enroll in a district, however they may legally only accept one placement. Parents must complete a final form to confirm which district to attend by within 10 days of receiving notice that the student was selected from a waiting list. Do I need to submit any documents with my application? No, just the completed application with parent/guardian signature and date. Where do I submit my application? Applications must be submitted to the district the student wishes to enter, not the home district. Forms can be completed digitally (encouraged) or mailed or brought to the district in person. Are there any seats available? YES, the Pewaukee School district has designated seats and the details and seat information for each grade level can be found HERE. How does the Open Enrollment lottery work? The Pewaukee School District follows state law and holds a lottery for students that have applied at the different grade levels if seats are available. The first group that is drawn is for siblings of current students, and the second is for students who are not currently attending our school district. Names are drawn and numbers assigned based on the drawing. The number assignments are by grade level, once seats are filled each grade level will start a waiting list. If a seat at a particular grade level becomes available after the letters are sent, the waiting list from the corresponding grade level is referenced to determine who is offered that seat. What are the chances that my child will be chosen in the lottery? Seats are determined using various factors which include financial, staffing resources and classroom teacher-student ratios. Seats are also determined by the number of children who might enroll or withdraw in summer when most families make enrollment transitions. These factors are in flux until near the start of school, which prevents the district from predicting the likelihood of a student on the waiting list being offered a seat. How does the waiting list work? The Pewaukee School District creates a waiting list at each grade level. If seats become available, families are contacted and invited to register. The district tries to make acceptance decisions before the start of the school year. Generally, students from the waiting list are offered a spot by the end of August. Can K4 students apply? Yes, K4 students may apply, but the district of residence must also have a K4 program. In other words, the applicant’s home district must have a K4 program to be considered for Pewaukee’s 4K program. Does the Open Enrollment program allow people to apply who are in special education programs? Yes, however, as with any student, space must be available in the grade level and special education program the child needs. For this upcoming year, all special education programs and services are closed due to lack of space. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Once a student is accepted into a school district, the student may continue to attend the district without having to reapply every year with three exceptions: The nonresident district may require each student to reapply one time only — at the beginning of intermediate school, middle school or high school. Under certain circumstances, a student who needs special education may be required to return to the student’s resident district. Poor attendance can be a criterion for dismissal from the program and students may be required to return to their resident district. A student who is attending a nonresident school district under Open Enrollment may return to her or his resident school at any time. Transportation is the responsibility of the parent. Reimbursement of transportation costs is available for low-income parents whose children are eligible for free or reduced-price lunches under the federal school lunch program.
