Good News! The new mill rate projections are based on budget models that include a $1 million increase to the Revenue Limit after a successful Recurring Referendum in April and additional Equalized Aid funding. The district wants to send a special shout-out to our Business Operations Manager, Jean Flannery, who has done a tremendous job managing our finances, state and federal grants, and the ever-changing school finance formula.

Ohhhhhh, what fun! Barneveld's PhyEd classes took a "field trip" to the land of inflatables! The gyms were alive with jumping, climbing, sliding, giggling, and squealing. Y'Allbee Inflatables from Potosi has been a terrific partner on this project, and students from 4K to seniors were having fun staying active. (A few adults were seen having fun, too.) Thank you to our families for sending $5 for the two-day experience, and special thanks to the Barneveld PTO and an anonymous donor for donating the rest of the money needed.

In SkillsUSA, members have the opportunity to compete at competitions that are throughout the state of WI. Competitions range in 3 categories: Leadership Development, Occupationally Related, and Skilled and Technical Sciences. Students fine tune their skills in an area of interest that they are passionate about. Expanding their knowledge through what they have learned in school or from on the job training. Through this knowledge they compete against other students from all over WI. While judges grade and critique all individuals about their performance, they can earn a medal at each competition. Many find that the opportunity of competing to be the overall achievement. Breaking down barriers so they are career ready in their professional journey in life!
