Superintendent’s Message:
Thank you to the Mosinee School District and Community for being so very welcoming to my wife, three children and I as we transition back to the area. We loved living in Rib Mountain a decade ago and have found equal joy living in the City of Mosinee since becoming homeowners during the Summer of 2019.
The Mosinee School District will continue to succeed at high levels with students by always being committed to higher order thinking, the construction of knowledge, and the value beyond school of the material being taught. I’ve met many wonderful educators in my short time in Mosinee committed to lifelong learning, student achievement, and helping students become the best versions of themselves. I’m honored to work with all of the educators in the district who have committed themselves to a great and noble profession. Focusing on answering four key questions will always help inform what we are doing for students as educators, community members and parents: What do we want the students to know and learn? How do we know that they know it and learned it? What do we do if they don’t get it or learn it? And what do we do if they already know it and learned it?
The Mosinee School District strives to ‘Expect the Best’ by being committed to:
• Improve student progress academically and socially preparing them to be productive members of a multicultural society.
• Promote partnerships with the community to create multiple opportunities for learning.
• Foster life-long learners who are self-motivated with adaptability for future change.
The Mosinee School Board, working with the citizens of the entire school district, will continue to move forward with this mission and vision as we re-evaluate the strategic plan along with the transition plan that I’ve developed as the new superintendent of schools. The annual data retreat in August of 2019 working with CESA 9 will guide our progress and continuous improvement plans.
The Mosinee School District continues to utilize the Energy Exemption Grant dollars to improve the school environment in many ways including new HVAC systems for the 1922 & 1939 Middle School, and the 1975 & 1993 Elementary School sections. The new systems will bring the buildings up to current ventilation codes and provide air conditioning to all areas. All equipment will be managed by an updated energy management system that will save energy and money. We replaced the current electrical supply panels to support future facility needs. The majority of the lighting fixtures have been replaced with LEDs which decreases the electrical load and will save money.
The Safety Grant dollars are being used for door security systems, new cameras and a new secure entrance for the Middle School main office area also known in the school safety field as a limited access entry. The safety and security of the students, staff, and community is our first concern every day. This work will be completed during the Summer of 2019 before school starts in September.
Summer School 2019 ran smoothly under the direction of Summer School Principal Cristy Heldt. I made my way to many of the wonderful activities and programs which were well attended with over 700 participants run by many dedicated Mosinee School District Teachers. The collaboration with the YMCA continues to be a wonderful benefit for the community including the pool and YMCA Camp Adventure which provides a 6:30 AM drop off time, if parents choose, and as late as a 6:00 PM pick up during the summer months for a very reasonable price. The shift of summer school to the high school was a significant adjustment, handled well after a few days, as we continue to make improvements to both the middle and elementary schools utilizing the energy exemption and safety grant dollars. The many improvements at the high school last summer including the new gym floor, science rooms, gym bleachers along with substantial HVAC improvements provided a wonderful environment for students and staff during Summer School 2019.
It’s a great honor to serve as the Superintendent of the Mosinee School District. Special thank you to the Mosinee School Board for their willingness to serve in a very public role to improve the lives of students throughout the school district. Many community members have come up to my wife and I about their love for The Mosinee School District and greater Mosinee Community which certainly shows the pride and honor felt by many. Please feel free to reach out to me at any time with your questions, concerns and suggestions. I plan to be a regular at many local events and look forward to meeting as many community members as possible.
Sincerely,
David Muñoz
Superintendent of Schools
Mosinee School District
