FINALS TESTING SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED Wednesday, May 29 & Thursday, May 30
We are rapidly approaching the end of another school year and with that end looming near, we are gearing up to engage in Finals Testing. Finals are slated to take place on Wednesday, May 29 and Thursday, May 30; the remaining days of school will be used to provide opportunities for test make-ups as well as enrichment activities for students.
It is important that your child is in attendance on each of these days as it provides us an opportunity to gauge the learning that they have engaged in over the past eighteen weeks. Please help ensure your child's success by helping them get a good night's sleep, eating a healthy breakfast and studying with them as you are able. We will be providing morning snacks to our students to help fuel them both days.
Test schedules can be found under the "Alternate Bell Schedules" tab found on the right side of this page. If you have any questions about this information, please contact Patrick Gretzlock, (715)265-7471 or gretzpat@gcsd.k12.wi.us

Glenwood City High School's Career and Technical Education Department has recently been awarded a number of gifts highlighted by a $20,000 grant from the Donaldson Company Foundation. This foundation strives to provide equitable access to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) disciplines through grants that increase youth engagement and learning in these areas of study. The grant will be used to help purchase welding machines and other equipment that will help enhance our programming. Thank you to Baldwin Operations Manager of Donaldson, Timothy McCormick and Jordan Hill, Donaldson employee and member of the GCHS Class of 2014 for helping secure these funds on behalf of Mr. Wannemacher and our Technical Education Department.
Another grant was provided to the GCHS Agriculture Education Department from the Sand County Foundation in coordination with We Energies, Syngenta, Bayer Crop Science, National Fish and Wildlife and Dairyland Power Cooperative. This grant, in the amount of $1,000 will provide an opportunity to help restore local grasslands to their native state while helping to create an environment for pollinators. This program is designed "... to engage students in adding native wildflower diversity to rural areas for the benefit of pollinators and Monarch butterflies," said Craig Ficenec, Sand County Foundation program director.
Congratulations to Mr. Wannemacher and Mr. VanderWaal on securing these funds.
