Our Pledge

 

I am respectful and responsible every day.

I do not bully when I play.

Learning is something I should do at school.

It makes me smart, and it's our rule.

I'm always respectful, honest, and kind,

so our school is awesome, and it will shine!

Welcome to the best school year yet!
Wednesday, August 22, 2012 - 5:15pm

Hello Gebhardt Community!  I titled this the Best School Year Yet...I truly hope that in June we could sit together and all agree that this truly has been one of the best yet!  That's the beauty of school, each year is a brand new beginning.  At Gebhardt we talk about the fact that while we may have been teaching fourth and fifth grade for many years, your child has ONE opportunity to make their fourth or fifth grade year the BEST it can be!  We are here to partner with you to ensure that happens!

Please come and visit us for our Open House - August 29th, 2:00-5:00 p.m. 

This is a great opportunity to meet your teacher, drop off your supplies, update your family information, pay registration fees, deposit lunch money, etc!  Jennifer will be in the office happy to help!

"Show us what your best looks like!"
Friday, October 21, 2011 - 6:05pm

 Hello Gebhardt Families!  The WKCE testing window is opening right around the corner.  This year as a part of our Schoolwide Improvement Plan, one of our initiatives is about creating a positive testing environment.  We firmly believe, based off of our instinct and other data sources, that when our students sit down with the WKCE testing booklet and their sharpened #2 pencils, that they do not fully engage in the process.  We believe that our kids know and are able to do more than they show us on this assessment.

Gebhardt Groove...

Happy New Year!  I wanted to let you know about a few things that are either new or upcoming at Gebhardt.

1. Buzzzzzz in... If you have visited recently you have noticed that we have started locking our doors and utilizing the new security system.  The overall opinion of parents has been extremely positive, I'm so glad that you like it!  I wanted to let you know that the system is still being tweaked and modified.  There are times that Jen or I will push the button to unlock the door - and the system does nothing.  I'm so sorry if you have been stranded out in the cold for a few minutes!  We appreciate your patience and the system will continue to get better and better!

December Highlights...
Wednesday, December 15, 2010 - 10:20am

For those of you that were lucky enough to attend the Sounds of the Season program on December 14th were treated to a fantstic holiday celebration!  I thought the kids did a fantastic job!  They sang beautifully, looked enthusiastic and genuinely took pride in their performance!  How exciting!  This is Mrs. Cowles first year at Gebhardt, and I couldn't be more excited about the direction of the music program!

On Thursday, December 16 we are doing a buddy activity with Forrest Street Elementary.  The fourth grade students are traveling to work with the kindergarten and the first grade students are coming to Gebhardt to work with the fifth grade.  There will be a buddy reading story, an activity and a little treat time between the groups.  It's always a very fun day!

Celebrating Education in BRF
Thursday, November 18, 2010 - 9:09am

 I believe that Black River Falls is about as far away from Hollywood as anyone could get. That being said, we had a FANTASTIC turnout and a great time celebrating our local celebrity - Jen Sweeney!   I wanted to share pictures that were taken by the WEAC crew - they were thrilled with the celebration of education in our community!  Take a look!
