Dear Baldwin-Woodville High School students, parents/guardians, and community,
Welcome to the 2023-24 school year! Our staff is excited to begin this school year with you, with our challenge being to help each and every student have the best educational experience possible. A highlight from the 2022-23 school year was the fantastic report we received regarding the junior class' ACT scores; I believe that we will be at or near the top of our entire CESA district once again. Our kids strive to do the best they can, and we applaud and appreciate their efforts.
We will work diligently to ensure each student receives the best education possible, but we need them to take advantage of the opportunities offered during their four years at Baldwin-Woodville High School. Students, teachers, support staff, coaches, administrators, and parents, working together and not independently of each other, will help our students reach their personal goals as a scholar and member of the community.
We have four new teachers: Ms. Carrie Kjellberg will be replacing Ms. Bishop in the Spanish department, Ms. Joanna Lee will be replacing Mr. Stuedemann for personal finance and business education, Ms. Chelsey Ricketts will be teaching biology in Mr. Keefer's former classroom, and Ms. Abigail Grant will be returning to our English department to teach 10th grade English. Please help them feel welcome and know that your efforts in the classroom will assist our new staff in their personal transition to our building.
We hope that you use our school website as well as Skyward (our student management system) over the course of the year. While Skyward is an excellent tool to monitor student progress, parents/guardians should not let this be their only means of communication with our school. For example, missing assignments may indicate something was submitted late or is not yet graded. Please be patient, and do not hesitate to email your child's teacher (and feel free to copy me in on the message) for further information.
Please click here to view the STUDENT FEES/HIGH SCHOOL BUDGET sheet that outlines mandatory and optional costs for high school students. We hope this is helpful as you plan a spending timeline while supplementary costs for school continue to increase. Much of what is listed will not affect every student, and the list is not inclusive of all costs that could potentially occur, but we will try to keep the list as updated as possible.
Look for updates and quick announcements on my twitter feed (@dave_brandvold or @BWHS_Blackhawks). You may also choose to like and/or follow the Baldwin-Woodville High School Facebook page.
It has been an honor to sever as principal of Baldwin-Woodville High School. It is truly a privilege to be part of a community where parents, teachers, and students care for each other and strive to build positive relationships that support academic, physical, and social growth. Please feel free to contact me at 715-684-3321 x4102 or email me at dbrandvold@bwsd.k12.wi.us.
Have a fantastic school year!
Sincerely,
Mr. Dave Brandvold
Baldwin-Woodville High School Principal
