7th grade math learned the simple interest formula. To practice using the formula, students wrote and solved their own story problems that required the use of the formula. They wrote story problems about saving and taking out loans for buying Takis, going skydiving, and going on vacations.
Mrs. Meinholz typed them up to display to the class, and the students played trashketball with the problems to review for their upcoming quiz!

What: 4K & 5K Pre-Registration
When: April 4th, 2024 from 3:30 pm – 5:30 pm
Where: Wisconsin Heights Elementary
How to Sign-up: Click Here!
On April 4th, from 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm, Wisconsin Heights Elementary will be pre-registering students for its 2024-2025 Preschool and Kindergarten classes. Pre-registration will be held in the Wisconsin Heights Elementary School. Please note, this pre-registration is only for Preschool and Kindergarten. Full online registration will be done at district registration which will be held in August.
Parents of children who will be 4 years old on or before September 1, 2024, are invited to come and enroll their child in Preschool, while parents of children who will be 5 years old on or before September 1, 2024, are invited to enroll their child in Kindergarten. Parents of students who are currently enrolled in the Wisconsin Heights Preschool program will be automatically enrolled in Kindergarten and do not need to attend pre-registration. Additionally, children do not need to attend.
Pre-registration is an important component in our district budget planning for the coming school year. We base our initial Preschool & Kindergarten staffing and class assignments on the number of pre-registered students.
Parents are asked to bring a few items to pre-registration.
Please provide verification of your child’s birth date in the form of their original birth certificate.
Proof of residency (utility bill, phone bill, lease, etc.) if you do not already have a child enrolled in the district.
At pre-registration, you will receive several forms to be completed immediately. Forms can be found on our website if you are unable to attend at https://www.wisheights.k12.wi.us/page/new-family-enrollment
Please extend this invitation to anyone you know who has recently moved into the Wisconsin Heights School District. Please note we are anticipating limited space and will not be accepting any open enrollment applications for students living outside district boundaries.
We look forward to seeing you at pre-registration! Please call Courtney in the Wisconsin Heights Elementary School office at 608-767-2251 with any questions.

7th grade math reviewed percents by holding an auction. Students were given a catalog of percent problems with answers - some of which were incorrect. In teams, students had to solve the problems and determine which problems had correct solutions with them. The teams were then given $1,000, and the goal was to buy only problems that had correct solutions with them. If they purchased problems with incorrect solutions, they were charged $500.
Wisconsin Heights Elementary School is celebrating Kindness Week and Tuesday’s theme was Kindness is My Superpower!
