Summer will soon be here . . . .
Dear Parents,
Summer PEBT will be available again the summer. This program will provide benefits to families of eligible school-age children and eligible non-school-age children to help cover the cost of meals between the current school year (2022-2023) and the next school year (2023-2024).
DHS is now making plans for issuing these Summer P-EBT benefits. If your child(ren) are currently receiving free or reduced meals at school through the National School Lunch Program during this current school year (2022-2023) you will receive this benefit automatically.
*** IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO APPLY Benefits may also be available for children who become newly enrolled to receive free or reduced price meals at school. These children will be considered for Summer P-EBT benefits as long as an approved application for free or reduced price meals is received by the child’s school on or before June 1, 2023. You must fill out the Free / Reduced Meal application which you may do online or request a hard copy be emailed to you (request the form from aoppriecht@seneca.k12.wi.us ) or stop by the school office to pick up a hard copy.
If you have any questions, please 608-737-9177 x1150 or aoppriecht@seneca.k12.wi.us for specific P-EBT questions reach out to the P-EBT Support Team at 1-833-431-2224 or PEBTsupport@wisconsin.gov.

Congratulations to Evan Payne, who was recently selected as one of 32 statewide finalists for the prestigious 2023 WIAA Scholar Athlete Award! Only 4 boys and 4 girls from each of the four WIAA divisions were selected based on both athletic and academic achievement.
Evan has earned nine letters in basketball, football and baseball. He earned four Ridge & Valley Conference selections in basketball and helped his team win conference championships in both football and basketball. He is also one of our senior class Valedictorians. Evan will be honored at the WIAA Scholar Athlete Banquet on May 7th in Wausau. Congratulations!

Due to the snow day on April 17, we have had to adjust our school schedule as follows: We will be adding 7 minutes to each school day, beginning Monday, April 24. In addition, May 3 and May 26 will no longer be early release days; they will be a full day of school. See the school website for more details.
The school held an Emergency Preparedness Drill today. We are required to hold these regularly. For more details, go to the link:

All-Conference Academics: The Ridge and Valley All-Conference Academic team was named recently, and Seneca High School had all five of our nominees recognized. Lindsey Sime, Kendra Chambers, and Evan Payne were named First Team Academic All-Conference. Brennan Wallin and Bridget Hagensick were named Second Team Academic All-Conference. Each year the Ridge and Valley Conference schools recognize their thirty highest academic achievers, and these five students were among that group. Congratulations to them on their outstanding academic achievements during their high school careers!
