Étude Schools

Charlie Hamm recently qualified for the state debate tournament by going 3-2 at the Ft. Atkinson Bowtie Bonanza Debate Tournament! Charlie finished in third place in the Varsity Lincoln Douglas Division. He also placed 5th overall in Public Speaking. Charlie is part of the South High Debate Team. Help us give him a round of applause in the comments! 👏

Reminder! There is NO SCHOOL tomorrow! Enjoy your four day weekend and we'll welcome all of our Étudians back on Tuesday, October 29th.

In science class this year, our middle school students are learning about different types of energy. The theme for the first quarter is how energy is transferred between living and nonliving things.

Over the past couple of weeks, students used hands-on activities to learn about matter recycling, and the many simultaneous circles of decay happening in our ecosystem. They compared logs at three points of decay and documented observations about the cycle through images and writing. This activity led into exploring the world of microbes!

We'll share more about our students' scientific experiments soon!

Our Fall Break is this Friday, October 25th and our monthly Professional Development Day is Monday, October 28th. There is no school for students on either day. Enjoy your four day weekend!

Our kindergarten classes have been taking advantage of the beautiful colors and great weather by taking their learning outside of the classroom the last couple weeks! We love watching nature boost our little learners’ curiosity 🍂

At the beginning of October, Étude high schoolers participated in a Community Service Experience! Their responsibilities varied from cleaning and organizing, to farm & kitchen work, to weed-pulling and tending to garden beds. We followed up the day with a soup potluck back at school!

A big thank you to the following organizations for allowing our students & staff to help you for the day -
John Michael Kohler Arts Center
Nourish Farms
Glacial Lakes Conservancy
Fresh Meals On Wheels of Sheboygan County, Inc.
Sheboygan County Food Bank
Humane Society of Sheboygan County

Reminder for our elementary families - Picture Day is TOMORROW!

A big thank you to the Sheboygan Fire Department for coming by last week and giving our elementary students a lesson in fire safety! Each year, the different grade levels learn or focus on something new in regard to fire safety, and each year, our students have so much fun.

It was Picture Day today for our middle & high schoolers! Can you identify our staff from their elementary school photos? 📸 Our students had a good time taking their guesses!

Reminder for our middle & high school families! Picture Day is TOMORROW! 📸

New this year, district-wide, every month has a Professional Development Day for teachers & staff. There will be no school for students on these days. September's PD Day is this Friday, September 27th.

You may look ahead to all Professional Development Days for the school year in our 24/25 Calendars located on our website - etudegroup.org.

Ètude kindergarteners have started their study of insects! 🐛 They’ll be investigating, observing, and documenting caterpillars over the coming weeks by drawing the changes they observe in their scientific drawing books. Stay tuned!

Our 4/5 graders shared a small act of great kindness with our Sheboygan Police Department in memory of 9/11!

Mrs. Johnston from E'tude's 4th and 5th grade class stopped by with some kind words, a few notes of encouragement and some origami. They learned about 9/11 yesterday and wanted to thank us for our service. These small acts of kindness go a long way. Thanks E'tude!!!

Enjoy your last day of summer! We are looking forward to seeing all of our Étudians tomorrow for our first day of the school year. Check in on our social pages to follow along with all our first day festivities!

Another Habit of Mind we live and learn by at Ètude is the Habit of Wondering.

We believe the ability to go more in depth into a topic by seeking more information through questions is a powerful part of learning and actively encourage our students to wonder through thinking routines and other activities.

Interested in learning more about an Ètude education? Call us to set up a tour!

Somehow, we're almost to August! Our school supplies lists for all school levels are now available on our website - etudegroup.org. Stay tuned for information about registration and more!

Alongside our Habits of Professionalism, Ètude students also live and learn by Habits of Mind.

One of these is observation. We believe observation is key to developing one’s mind. Observing involves looking closely and being able to describe what one sees. At the Ètude Schools, we strive to recognize patterns, make generalizations, and look in depth.

Call us today to schedule a tour of our schools!

UPDATE: SASD Graduation Ceremony moved to Sunday, June 9 at 2:00 p.m.

Due to the ongoing rain, the conditions at Vollrath Bowl will not allow us to hold the ceremony safely today. We know how important it is for students and families to participate in the treasured tradition of 'walking the bowl,' so we will move the ceremony to Sunday, June 9 at 2:00 p.m. at Vollrath Park.

Thank you for your patience and support as we have worked through today's weather conditions.
