Attendance Update – Way to Go, Bluestreaks!
We’re proud to share that students K–12 at Chisholm Public Schools are consistently attending school 82% of the time district-wide! This is a great foundation, and it shows the effort of our students, families, and staff working together.
Special shout-out to Vaughn Steffensrud Elementary for leading the way with 84% attendance — excellent job!
Now that the holiday break is behind us, let’s set our sights higher.
Our goal: 90% attendance district-wide!
Every day matters. Every student counts. Let’s finish strong and keep our Bluestreaks showing up, learning, and succeeding!

We are focusing on Caring—showing kindness, empathy, and concern for others. The best way to teach this is by modeling it, as students learn caring behaviors by seeing adults listen, help, and consider others’ feelings.
Congratulations to these awesome students!

Students in Youth In Action helped spread holiday cheer with residents at Heritage Manor. They spent their morning with residents, making cookies.
The Title One staff hosted an informational Literacy night. They enjoyed pizza, cookies, and playing BINGO. The evening was a fun opportunity to bring families and staff together to celebrate literacy.

Students and Staff of the Week at the High School
Mr. Deedrick - Nominated by Dane Majewski
Mr. Deedrick is one of the best teachers I have. He's always helpful, and I wish I could have had him as a teacher earlier. He is one of, if not the most, patient and hardworking person I know. He's always kind, and I wish I could talk to him more than just for an hour. Thank you, Mr. Deedrick.
Joe Rutchasky - Nominated by Mr. Provinzino
Joe is always looking for different projects to work on. He added wheels onto a cabinet to make it a rolling cart for Ms. Carrol. Joe has also helped with other projects in the wood shop for Mr. Provinzino, painting a shelf, sanding and putting on finish on some new countertops and shelves. Joe has been very motivated and willing to help other students when they need help.
Aria Lappi - Nominated by Mr. Stish
Aria is a well-behaved student at all times. She comes to class prepared every day and is concerned about her grades. She is kind to everyone around her. This is why she is my choice for student of the week. Congratulations Aria, keep up the hard work!
Tony Perez and Isaac Trunell - Nominated by Mr. Vake
Tony has been such a good student and helper with our Transitions Class. He has turned into a superb cookie salesman for us. Tony has tried anything that he has been asked to do and even tried disecting the rat with Mrs. Wopata. Mrs. Johnson, Miss Tammy, and Mr. Vaker are extremely proud of Tony for his work this year so far.
Isaac has been exceptional this year and is making leaps and bounds in his academics and personality. Isaac is a prankster and he loves all of the students in this high school. He works very hard to say hello to everyone and he appreciates all of the students being his friend and working with him and helping him. We are so proud of him and all of his accomplishments this year.
