Dear SDMA Families and Staff, Happy Halloween! As the month of October concludes, we celebrate the successful completion of the first quarter of the 2025-26 school year.

Dear SDMA Families & Staff, Happy Homecoming Menomonie! It has been a great week in the School District of the Menomonie Area (SDMA), with many wonderful activities for our students to enjoy celebrating school spirit. Thank you to all of the teachers, principals, and staff members who have worked so hard to provide these special experiences for our students and community!

Dear School District of the Menomonie Area Families & Staff, Greetings from the SDMA Administrative Service Center! It is hard to believe that the start of the 2025-26 school year is right around the corner!

Clear, timely, and accessible communication is essential to building strong school communities. That’s why the School District of the Menomonie Area (SDMA) is excited to announce the official rollout of ParentSquare—a unified communication platform designed to keep students, families, and community members informed and engaged.

Local impacts of the newly signed 2025-2027 State Biennial Budget: ● School revenues funded by local property taxes increased by $325/student each year ● Reimbursements for mandated special education expenses funded by the state increased to approximately 40%

Dear SDMA Families and Staff, Congratulations on a great 2024-25 school year and thank you for all of your partnerships and support along the way! As we begin to wrap up the school year, here are some important items for your consideration:

The process for creating the next state biennial budget is underway in Madison. Lawmakers will be working over the next few months to determine how the State of Wisconsin will allocate funding for the next two years. Budgets are about priorities, and now is a critical time to contact state legislators and let them know about the importance of making a greater investment in our public schools.

Dear SDMA Families & Staff, The weather forecast for today includes the possibility of storms, some of which could be severe. The school district has protocols that will be followed to help ensure that students and staff find a safe place to take shelter if severe weather occurs during the school day.
