Our 6th graders are diving into the world of watersheds and salmon conservation! 🐟💧 From streams to the sea, they're learning how to protect our local ecosystems and keep our salmon thriving. 🌿🌎 #FutureEcoWarriors #SalmonStrong #HandsOnLearning
Update: Due to icy roads and dangerous driving conditions for our students and staff, Onalaska schools will now be remote today, February 3rd. Remote learning will still start on a 2 hour delay to give all time to prepare.
Check our website for remote schedules. Students check email and google classroom.

Onalaska Families,
You may have heard that the district experienced a short power outage this afternoon. Everyone did very well and we are back up and running as normal. Kudos to the creativity and patience of our staff and students! Stay safe!
The lost and found is overflowing! Please come take a look after school for any of your student lost belongings. All items that are remaining after school on Friday, November 22nd, will be donated.
Twin day at the Middle School!
Onalaska Middle School rewards field trip
We are collecting food and hygiene items through October 25th for a Middle School and Elementary School Food Drive. The classes are competing for a classroom party for who has the most donated items. In total 983 items have been donated so far. The donations are going to the Onalaska Alliance for the backpack program and Jackson Prairie Food Bank.
Due to ongoing construction on Highway 508, which is causing longer than usual delays, some bus routes may experience delays in dropping off students. We appreciate your understanding and patience during this time.
This summer, Connor Risley entered two of the quilts that he made in Textile Arts at the middle school into the Lewis County Fair, winning two first-place ribbons. We are so proud of Connor and all of his hard work!
