HVAC C would also need to be replaced at portions of Pewaukee High School as they are original to the building. Finally, by installing D solar panels, the district will be able ot reduce the future energy costs for building operations. Flooring will be replaced at Horizon Elementary as well. Additions and renovations would occur at Pewaukee High School (PHS) to update Career and Technical Education and Art learning spaces which have not been largely touched since PHS’s construction in 1968. This would include a STEAM Innovation Hub, metals, woods, art, graphic design, engineering, fashion, and culinary. Physical Education and fitness spaces would need to be relocated A to allow for the renovation of the Career and Technical Education and Art facilities.

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.
