Heights introduces new COVID protocols

District Administrator Jordan Sinz told the Wisconsin Heights School Board about the new COVID-19 policy at their meeting last week. The policy is:   Students and staff who test positive for COVID-19: ● Must isolate for 5 days ● If they are asymptomatic or symptoms are resolving and they have been fever-free for 24 hours, they may return to school/work after Day 5 (on Day 6 with Day 0 being the day of test or onset of symptoms). ● This return may occur on Day 6 provided: ○ The individual is able to mask, and it is recommended they mask through Day 10. ○ If the individual is unable to mask, it is recommended they have a negative test on Day 5 or later to return to school/work prior to day 11.   The sale of Black Earth Elementary is off. Sinz said, “TKSK withdrew their offer to purchase based on contingencies they were unable to fulfill.  The property was relisted.” In other news, the District has a new MS/HS Assistant Principal and Athletics and Activities Director, Kindra Zuberbuehler. She started on July 25. According to the District’s Facebook page: “Kindra is a resident of the village of Mazomanie and is incredibly excited to join our Wisconsin Heights MS/HS family. She grew up in Mukwonago, WI. She attended college at UW-LaCrosse and majored in ACS Chemistry and Chemistry Education. The summer after college included college graduation, finishing student teaching, getting married to her husband, Matt, and then packing their possessions into a U-Haul trailer and moving to Durham, North Carolina. There they adopted two fluffy cats, Jasmine & Rajah. Kindra, Matt, and their two furry felines spent three wonderful years in North Carolina. However, Wisconsin is home, so in 2016 they made the journey back for good. She joined the staff at Sauk Prairie High School teaching chemistry and coaching varsity softball. Five years ago, they bought their home in Mazomanie and adopted two puppies--Daisy & Bandit (yes, they still have the cats). During that time, she earned her masters in Educational Leadership along with her Principal license and Director of Instruction license. This past March, they welcomed their first baby, Zoya, into the world and are absolutely smitten with her. Outside of school she enjoys camping & hiking, being on the water, slowpitch softball, crafting, and spending time with her daughter and husband.”
