http://www.sdmaonline.com/cms/One.aspx?portalId=341586&pageId=341597 Superintendents in the five largest school districts in Wisconsin issued a plea this week to state lawmakers calling for school funding relief now. As noted in their message, Wisconsin families are struggling. Across Madison, Milwaukee, Kenosha, Racine, Green Bay, and in smaller communities like Menomonie, families in Wisconsin are paying more for groceries, utilities, and health insurance. The School District of the Menomonie Area faces those same pressures. We are paying more to feed students, heat and power our schools, and cover rising insurance and healthcare costs. Like families, the SDMA is impacted by increasing expenses due to inflation. http://www.sdmaonline.com/cms/One.aspx?portalId=341586&pageId=15081424 341502_15081424 Fri, 30 Jan 2026 21:22:00 GMT Due to the extremely cold weather forecasted for tomorrow, Friday, January 23, 2026, the School District of the Menomonie Area will be closed. Tomorrow will be a remote learning day in the SDMA. http://www.sdmaonline.com/cms/One.aspx?portalId=341586&pageId=15079676 341502_15079676 Thu, 22 Jan 2026 20:23:00 GMT Dear SDMA Families and Staff, The health and safety of students and staff are a top priority in the SDMA.

I hope that everyone had a nice winter break, and we are happy to have our students and staff back in school this week. http://www.sdmaonline.com/cms/One.aspx?portalId=341586&pageId=15076306 341502_15076306 Fri, 09 Jan 2026 19:56:00 GMT Season's Greetings from the School District of the Menomonie Area! Best wishes for a happy and healthy winter break. Classes will resume in the SDMA on Monday, January 5, 2026. http://www.sdmaonline.com/cms/One.aspx?portalId=341586&pageId=15072909 341502_15072909 Tue, 23 Dec 2025 14:57:00 GMT The School District of the Menomonie Area will be closing schools two hours early today, Thursday, December 18, 2025. Afternoon bus routes will run two hours ahead of the normal schedule. There will be no afternoon 4K classes, and there will be no practices or after school activities. http://www.sdmaonline.com/cms/One.aspx?portalId=341586&pageId=15071941 341502_15071941 Thu, 18 Dec 2025 16:43:00 GMT Sorting through the mail this time of year can be an exciting and enjoyable experience. Exchanging Christmas cards and gift packages with extended family members, old friends, and neighbors is a great way to keep in touch and get into the holiday spirit. Unfortunately, mixed in with the season’s greetings are likely to be a variety of bills and this year’s property tax statement. Similar to higher costs for holiday gifts and heating during a very cold month of December, most residents across Wisconsin can expect to pay higher property taxes this year. http://www.sdmaonline.com/cms/One.aspx?portalId=341586&pageId=15071506 341502_15071506 Tue, 16 Dec 2025 18:02:00 GMT Due to the winter storm warning and the high probability for significant snow and high wind gusts, all after school practices, concerts, and activities in the SDMA will be cancelled for this evening, Tuesday, December 9, 2025. There will also be no early morning before-school practices or activities tomorrow, Wednesday, December 10, 2025. http://www.sdmaonline.com/cms/One.aspx?portalId=341586&pageId=15070542 341502_15070542 Tue, 09 Dec 2025 17:16:00 GMT
