School Census Information (NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH NATIONAL CENSUS) State law requires each school district to submit census information to the WI Department of Public Instruction each year. The census collection is not student registration or part of the national census. The Wisconsin Heights School District is gathering census information for all children living within the school district’s boundaries between the ages of 0-20 years old. Only households that are new to the district (students are not attending Wisconsin Heights for the 2024-2025 school year), have children 0-4 years old, children 19-20 years old, or the children do not attend schools within the Wisconsin Heights School District need to complete this form for the 2025-2026 school year. Why is the census information important to the school district? • It helps the school district plan our future enrollment in our district. • It enables the district to send households age appropriate communications. You may complete the census form online on our website at: https://www.wisheights.k12.wi.us/page/census-information The completed hard copy census form can be mailed or dropped off at any one of our schools, faxed: (608)767-3579, or by email: nklepper@wisheights.k12.wi.us by June 1, 2023. Please contact Nikki Klepper at (608)767-2595, ext. 2609 if you have any further questions.
