Dear Middle and High School Families,

Attached are the 2026–2027 Middle School and High School school supply lists.

If you've already purchased school supplies, no worries! We simply wanted to make sure everyone had access to the lists before the start of the school year.

If you still need to shop, we hope these lists are helpful as you prepare for the upcoming year.

We look forward to welcoming students back soon and are excited for a great school year!

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Sincerely,

Rob Sailer

📚 Help Us Make Sure Every Student Starts the Year Ready to Learn 💙💛

Our Backpack Sponsor Program is off to a wonderful start!

Thanks to the generosity of our community, 5 of our 20 students have already been matched with a backpack sponsor. That means 15 students are still waiting for someone to help them start the school year with the supplies they need.

If you'd like to sponsor a student, simply email Mrs. Killeen at akilleen@ncrawford.k12.wi.us. You'll be assigned a student's grade level and gender, shop for the items on their school supply list, and bring the supplies to our Stuff the Bus event on Saturday, August 22.

Not looking to sponsor a specific student? We'd also be incredibly grateful for donations of general school supplies. These extra supplies allow us to help students whose families need assistance after our initial list is filled, students who arrive with only part of their required supplies, and new students who enroll during the school year without the materials they need. Having these supplies on hand means we can quietly support students whenever the need arises. Bring these items directly to the Stuff the Bus Event put on by the Soldiers Grove Lion's Club!

Every child deserves to walk into school feeling prepared, confident, and ready to learn. Thank you for helping make that possible for North Crawford students. Huge shout out to the Loin's Club of Soldiers Grove for their help with this effort! #ittakesavillage💙📚

Hello Trojan Nation
My name is Scott Uppena and I am excited to have been chosen to serve as the new North Crawford Superintendent. I am honored to become part of a district with such a strong tradition of educational excellence, community pride, and dedication to student success. My hope is to continue to move the school district forward following your school motto “Large School Opportunities, Small School Values"

As I begin this journey with you, I look forward to getting to know our students, families, staff, and community members. Building meaningful relationships and listening to your perspectives will be among my highest priorities. Together, we will celebrate the many strengths of our district while working collaboratively to meet the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

I believe every student deserves a safe, supportive, and engaging learning environment where they can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. By working together, we can continue to provide exceptional educational experiences that prepare our students for success in college, careers, and life in general.

I am deeply committed to open communication, transparency, and collaboration. I encourage you to share your ideas, ask questions, and become active partners in the important work of educating our children. The strength of North Crawford lies in its people, and I am excited to learn from and work alongside each of you.

Thank you for the warm welcome I have already received. I am honored to serve this remarkable district and look forward to an exciting school year filled with growth, achievement, and opportunity.

Together, we will continue to make North Crawford School District a place where every student can learn, grow, and succeed.

Sincerely,
Scott Uppena

Uppena Family!

Today our elementary staff spent the day learning outside the classroom as we became certified in Project WET, Project WILD, and Project Learning Tree!

These nationally recognized environmental education programs equip teachers with hands-on, inquiry-based lessons that help students explore water, wildlife, forests, and the natural world around them. More importantly, they give us engaging ways to build curiosity, critical thinking, and a love for learning.

One of the best parts of the day was being reminded that some of the richest learning doesn’t happen at a desk—it happens outside, asking questions, making observations, and getting our hands dirty.

We’re excited to bring these new experiences back to North Crawford Elementary this year. Here’s to creating more opportunities for our students to wonder, explore, and connect with the incredible natural resources we have right here in the Driftless Area! 🌿💧🦉🌲

North Crawford students had a successful week completing the Safe Tractor Operator Certification course! Over the course of the week, students completed 24 hours of classroom instruction and hands-on driving training before successfully passing both a written and driving exam to earn their certification. The course was taught by local agriculture education teachers, providing students with valuable knowledge and practical skills for safe tractor operation. A special congratulations to Elliott for earning the highest score on the written exam! Great job to all of our students on this outstanding accomplishment!

The North Crawford FFA traveled to Madison today to attend the 97th Wisconsin FFA Convention! Members explored the Career and Trade Show Expo before attending the a general session, where Carson was recognized and awarded his State FFA Degree—a tremendous accomplishment. Members also had the opportunity to hear from Dr. Temple Grandin, a world-renowned advocate and innovator in the animal science industry. It was a great day of learning, networking, and celebrating FFA success!
