Welcome Back!

Important Updates

Dear Williams Bay Families,
Welcome to the start of another incredible school year! There is a unique magic to the beginning of a new academic year—a time filled with anticipation, fresh opportunities, and renewed purpose. Whether you are returning to the Williams Bay School District or joining our community for the very first time, we are thrilled to welcome you to a year of learning, growth, and shared success.

As we launch into this new season, we reinforce our unwavering commitment to creating an environment that encourages healthy relationships, open dialogue, and the shared responsibility of helping every child Dream… Aspire… Achieve.

Our team has been working diligently over the summer to prepare for the months ahead. With a new school year comes renewed focus and important updates, and we want to share a few key highlights with you:

Academic Growth & Achievement
We remain dedicated to delivering a safe, supportive, and academically rigorous environment. Our students continue to demonstrate strong growth, and we will keep our focus sharp on literacy and math achievement at all grade levels. True to our vision, we are proud to offer "big school opportunities in a safe, secure, small-school environment." This includes expansive learning options through virtual learning, college and university partnerships, and collaboration with neighboring districts.

Enhanced Communication & Transparency
Our partnership with families and the community is critical to achieving our highest potential. We encourage you to stay active in your child’s journey by engaging with teachers, attending parent-teacher conferences, and joining school events.
●      ParentSquare is now our primary platform for school updates, events, and essential announcements.
●      We have also updated the District website to support our ongoing commitment to clear, consistent, and transparent communication.

Facility Upgrades: New Playgrounds!
Our Facilities team has done an outstanding job preparing our buildings and grounds. The most exciting changes families will notice this fall are the brand-new 3K/4K playground and middle school playground! Thanks to the incredible generosity of the Lions Club, the PTO, and many community partners, these areas will serve our students during the school day and our local families outside of school hours.
Looking Ahead: Operating Referendum
The District is entering the third year of the three-year operating referendum approved by voters in April 2024. On August 10th, the Board of Education approved presenting a four-year operating referendum question to voters on the November 2026 ballot. This referendum is essential to our ability to "Continue Our Commitment" to high-quality education and secure facilities. Over the coming months, we will share comprehensive information and host opportunities for the community to learn more about our district finances.

The energy in our hallways is building, and we cannot wait to see our classrooms fill with curiosity, laughter, and enthusiasm once again! Together, as a united community of educators, parents, and neighbors, we are going to make this school year our best one yet. Thank you for your continued partnership and trust—let's make 2026–2027 an unforgettable year of growth and accomplishment!
Warm regards,

Dr. William White
District Administrator
