What is a Portfolio?

A student Career Portfolio is a carefully selected collection of information that demonstrates a student's talents, interested, abilities, achievements and experiences. It documents the development of education/career goals and one's successful transition from school to work.

One of the major premises of the portfolio model is that the student's entries will be evolving, developmental, and increasingly focused. Portfolios can be used in a variety of ways including:

In conferences with parents or teachers
In counselor or teacher advising sessions with students
In interviews for a job or college
In planning for careers
In setting educational goals

Indicated below are "suggestions" for items that might be included in a career portfolio:

Academic achievement
Career interests and plans
Community service
Cover letters
Demonstration of writing skills
Parent involvement
Test scores
Student awards and recognition
Work-based learning
Examples of projects
Exceptional skills
Co-curricular skills
Four year plan
Health records
Letters of recommendation
Personal statement
Student profile
Transcripts

Parent Notifications

Communications between school and home have never been more important -- for weather notification, emergency alerts or other general announcements. The School District of West De Pere is implementing a SchoolMessenger broadcast system which enables school personnel to notify all households and parents by phone, email and text within minutes of an emergency, inclement weather, unplanned event or other school communication.

This notification service is provided by SchoolMessenger, a company specializing in school-to-home communications. The service has the flexibility to provide voice, text and email messages based upon the contact information we have on file for your student.

The School District of West De Pere will also continue to report school closings due to snow or weather on local radio and news stations.

In an effort to ensure you receive these communications, please note the following:

Contact information: Please make sure the school’s office has updated contact information on file. The information that is in PowerSchool will be used to contact you for events and notifications.
Caller ID: This is the number that will be used for all notification calls: 920-337-1393, 920-338-5200
Live Answers: SchoolMessenger uses voice detection technology so you only need to say “hello” once. The message will usually begin in a few seconds after it detects your voice. Please note that multiple “hellos” will delay the message.
Answering Machines/Voice Mail: The system also detects answering machines and voice mailboxes and will deliver the recorded message. Please note that the recommended number of rings for answering machines is four and be sure that recordings are free of any “pauses.”
Text Messages: Due to FCC regulation changes, in order to receive text messages on your mobile device each device will need to text "Y" or "Yes" to 68453. This will enable your device to receive important messages from your child's school. If you wish to stop receiving messages at any time simply text "Stop" to 68453.

Dear Prospective Archery Club Member and Parents,

The sign up is now open for the 2023-2024 WDPMS/IS Archery Club! Please carefully read through the information below. If you feel that Archery Club would be a good fit for you, you will need to visit the links below to complete the registration process.

Important items to consider before committing to Archery Club:

The Archery Club is open to 5, 6, 7, & 8th grade students. This is an “Olympic” style of archery where rounds are shot from 10 and 15 meter distances. Any new archers to the program must go through an orientation by the National Archery in the Schools Program(NASP). We will provide this training during the first 2 weeks of practice. All students must use a Mathews Genesis Bow, and they may not use a release or a sight on the bow.

Archery practices start in December. The majority of our practices will be after school in our Middle School gymnasium. The exact times of practice will be determined based on enrollment. The practice schedule does vary depending on the availability of the gym. We are currently looking at Wednesdays and Fridays from December through March. Once the calendar is completed we will send that out to the archers. The school will supply the bows, arrows and targets for the Archers. 2nd and 3rd year archers traditionally buy their own bows so that they do not have to share, and so that they can fine tune them to their liking. More information on how to order bows will be shared at the first few practices.

Please note: Consistent practice attendance is required to be a member of the WDPMS Archery Team. All absences must be pre-approved with one of the coaches. Archers are expected to attend an average of at least one practice per week. Archers will not be able to participate in tournaments if they are not attending practice on a once per week average.

We traditionally have around 7 tournaments scheduled for our club to shoot in. We will let the Archers know as soon as these dates are released. Our state tournament has historically been held around the time of our spring break. Archers will be required to shoot in a minimum of 2 tournaments prior to participating in the State Tournament. Students will be allowed to practice and then compete when and if they are comfortable doing so.

We will be having a fundraiser this year. Those details will be discussed at one of the first practices.

How to Sign-up: Follow this link to register for the 2023-24 Archery Club:

Sign-Up & Permission Form

Sign-up for the Archery Club will close the end of the day on October 31, 2023.
