As reading scores in Wisconsin continue to decline, we have made noticeable gains at Racine Unified!

A renewed focus on early literacy has put our change in Reading Achievement on an upward trajectory for 3rd-8th-grade students since 2023. During that same time, the average of similar districts has fallen and leveled off.

Read more in this Wisconsin Public Radio article.

A graph displaying the change in Reading Achievement sind 2019 for 3-8 grade students. A notable takeaway is starting at 2023, test scores for RUSD began to climb while the average of the scores for Madison, Kenosha, Waukesha, Neenah and Green Bay's school districts continued to fall.
We have several events going on tonight at Wadewitz. We have our PTA Pasta Dinner and Bake Sale going on from 4-6:30. There will also be several raffle baskets. The PTA is trying to fund a new Wadewitz Mascot.

At the same time we have our science and art show going on. This is free for famlies to attend. We will have guest presenters from the Racine Art Museum.

And finally at 6 pm we will have our Wadewitz Has Talent Show. This also is free for families to attend.

If you have not already been able to do so, come and check out the construction progress. Hope to see everyone there.

Please join me in congratulating kinder teacher Casey Prohaska and SPED teacher Brittany Czarny on earning this year's RUSD Encore award. Their dedication to the students they serve is unmatched and one of many reasons Wadewitz continues to lead RUSD in so many ways. Enjoy the recognition, you deserve it!
