Stormonth Elementary has consistently been ranked one of the top elementary schools in the state. This past fall, we increased our Wisconsin State Report Card score from a 91.0 in the fall of 2021 to a 93.8 in the fall of 2022, scoring well above neighboring elementary schools as a school that Significantly Exceeds Expectations. We are proud of the strong academics we offer, as well as the opportunities for students to grow socially and emotionally. We encourage new families to visit Stormonth for a tour and see some of the amazing things happening firsthand at our school. See some answers to commonly asked questions below:
How old does my child need to be to begin school at Stormonth?
K4 at Stormonth is a half-day program. Families may request to be in a morning or afternoon class. Students must be four years old by September 1 to enter K4 in the fall. K5 at Stormonth is a full day program. Students must be 5 years old by September 1 to enter K5 in the fall.
What does at typical day look like in K4 and K5?
Our program balances top-notch academics with the social-emotional needs of the whole child. Students engage in developmentally appropriate activities, including the foundational skills for literacy and mathematics, as well as learning through play. On any given day, students learn in a whole group setting and in small group instruction with the teacher. Our teachers focus on the individual needs of each child to help move them forward. Our program incorporates a lot of movement, song, dance and a focus on outdoor education.
What special programs and opportunities do you offer?
Students in K4 and K5 attend weekly physical education, art, music and Spanish classes. Students also participate in library class and social emotional learning lessons with a school counselor. We have a partnership with the Schlitz Audubon Center where every grade level has a series of field trips and experiences with naturalists from the nature center. We hold monthly all-school assemblies called STORM Rallies where students are recognized for being safe, respectful and responsible.
How will you prepare my child for academic success later in life?
We liken our school to a private school with public school resources. Our students benefit from the expertise of reading specialists, math specialists, instructional coaches, talent development teachers and school counselors. Our Special Education program includes full inclusion of students with special needs in the general education environment, with the support from special educators, speech/language pathologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists and more. Our goal is to promote college and career readiness for every child, beginning in the early grades.
How do you meet the needs of the whole child?
Our teachers and staff focus on building strong relationships with our students. It is our top priority for every child and family to feel welcome, safe and comfortable at school. Family connection and engagement are critical to our students’ success, and we invite families to volunteer and participate in monthly family engagement activities.
