Emmeline Cook State Report Card
As part of the state accountability system, the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) produces report cards for every district and school in Wisconsin. The School Report Card, using multiple measures of student learning, is based on data primarily from the previous school year. It is with great pride that we announce that Emmeline Cook has once again received a rating of Exceeds Expectations! If you would like to read more about the state testing please see HERE.

November’s Cougar Time! Information
This month your child is learning about Empathy and Critical Thinking with Harmony SEL, our social and emotional learning program. The ideas HERE will reinforce what we are learning in school—topics to discuss, and behaviors to role-model. These are all designed to fit into your daily routine and provide opportunities to further connect with your child. While it may look like a lot of information, we have broken it down by grade levels to make it so you don't have to read the entire document. (Page 1 - Kindergarten thru 2nd Grade, Page 2 - 3rd Grade thru 5th Grade)
October “Buddies”
Each month an upper grade classroom gets together with a lower grade classroom to do a project, read to each other or play games together. These types of activities connect students who would typically not see each other everyday due to being in different hallways and creates a community within the school. It is also great for our younger students to have a mentor / buddy to look up to! In October “Buddies” met and worked together to make scarecrows which were then given to the residents of Edenbrook of Oshkosh, a nursing home facility just down the way. Please see HERE for a picture of some of the classes working on their scarecrows. And see HERE the residents of Edenbrook enjoying their scarecrows! Great teamwork “Buddies”, and thank you for sharing with our community! (November Buddies are happening this week! Watch for updates next month to see what they did together this time!)
Don’t Forget….Kiwanis Food Drive
Emmeline Cook is partnering with the Mid-Morning Kiwanis and doing a food drive. We are asking all of our families to consider donating a non-perishable food item. We will be collecting items in boxes, 1 down each hallway. The last day to bring in items is Tuesday, December 6th.
LAST OPPORTUNITY…Toys For Tots Program Info (Deadline 11/25/22)

Weather Clothing Guidelines
During this time of year Mother Nature sure does like to confuse us Wisconsinites and we just never know what type of clothing to wear for outdoors. Here are some guidelines that we follow:
- If the temperature is BELOW 50° - A COAT IS REQUIRED
- If the temperature is BETWEEN 50° - 60° - LONG SLEEVES ARE REQUIRED
- If the temperature is ABOVE 60° - NO COATS ARE REQUIRED
We have decided to try and help students remember these guidelines by posting these signs at the recess doors.
