New Riegel Families and Friends,

 New Riegel Families and Friends,

We are proud to congratulate our students on their many accomplishments over the past few months. Their outstanding academic, musical, and athletic talents continue to shine, and we are committed to providing opportunities for them to showcase these achievements. Be sure to check out our school website for the district’s monthly news and notes highlighting their successes.

We sincerely thank our community supporters for their generosity. This year, the New Riegel Moose contributed $1,000 for Literacy Night and $500 to the music department, while A&D Excavating donated $1,000 to the FFA program. These contributions continue to enhance the opportunities available to our students.  

Kindergarten screening for the 2026–2027 school year is scheduled for April 24, 2026. All district residents and potential open enrollment families should pre-register online.

Preparatory work on the pond drainage project is ongoing to address drainage issues toward SR 587. Student representatives from the elementary council are providing input on future playground updates, focusing on safety, inclusivity, creativity, and fairness. Meanwhile, the junior high playground is scheduled for completion this summer and will include pickleball courts. Additional facility improvements include a dock lift gate replacement funded through permanent improvement funds and completion of access card entries for remaining exterior doors. Funding requests have also been submitted through the BWC safety grant program.

This year marks the state audit of the district’s cafeteria program, which occurs every five to six years. We are pleased to report a positive review from the state—a job well done to our cafeteria staff! Additionally, the district’s AI policy is under review, and guidance and best practices will be provided to staff ahead of the 2026–2027 school year.

Approved fundraisers this quarter include the Class of 2026 Chipotle Night, Junior High Cheer Car Wash, Athletic Department Equipment Sales, and a Facility Dog fundraiser. The 2026–2027 school calendar has also been approved and is available on the district website.

As we approach the close of another school year, I want to express my sincere gratitude to all who support our staff and students. We continue to seek the best ways to serve our students and look forward to a successful spring semester!

Thank you!

Mr. Rombach
