A huge thank you to everyone who joined us on the high school football field for our World Series Watch Party! The Student Cabinet hosted a fantastic event as our school community came together on the big screen to cheer on the Milwaukee Brewers. It has been over four decades since making their World Series debut, and our students weren't going to miss this opportunity! We loved seeing students on the gridiron wearing their royal blue and yellow, thank you for making it such a memorable night! |
Recently Mr. Brown's AP United States History class (APUSH) did a simulation exploring the power struggles and compromises that impacted the formation of The U.S. Constitution. For the simulation, students had to actively engage in Communication, Collaboration, and Creativity as they were given limited instructions to create a game out of random sports equipment where every single piece was used, then the students had to play the game they just created. During this simulation students were identifying the initial problems, making compromises, and making adjustments along the way. After the simulation, students put on their Critical Thinking hats as they analyzed the parallels and similarities between the game they just created and America in the 1780s during the Constitutional Convention to identify the complexities and compromises involved in creating this foundational document of the United States. Students embraced this challenge and gained some valuable insight of this historical event. |
East Troy High School Civics classes have been learning about the foundations of our government of the United States. Currently they have been learning the specific components of the Constitution. Recently, School Resource Officer Hackett came into classes on Constitution Day to speak to students about the 4th Amendment. Officer Hackett explained the 4th Amendment and how it pertains to his job as well as what it looks like in a school setting. Students received good insight from Officer Hackett and how his profession interacts with the Amendments. Thank you Officer Hackett! |

Last week, Tom Pluess and Denny Largent from the Village of East Troy's Department of Public Works taught our Ecology class about the importance of managing our waste water. They visited our classroom and also gave us a tour of the waste water treatment plant, highlighting the equipment and processes used to clean our waste water before it is returned to the environment. Thank you for helping us better understand this invaluable service and the impact it has on our local water resources. |
Foundations of Early Childhood Education is a Transcripted Credit course in partnership with Gateway Technical College. Students earn dual credit for both high school and college! Little Prairie graciously hosted us for an observation. A quote from one of the high school students, "I can't stop smiling!" One of the best parts about a small school district like East Troy is that we have the opportunity to apply what we learn in class to the real world! |

We all deal with conflict from time to time, but there’s a big difference between normal social conflict, bullying, and harassment. Understanding the distinction and knowing how to handle situations helps keep our school safe, supportive, and inclusive for everyone.
3 Ways to Step Up as an Upstander
When bullying, cyberbullying, or harassment happens, bystanders stand by and do nothing. Upstanders take action by speaking up or helping out. Studies show that when an upstander steps in, the harmful behavior stops within 10 seconds over 50% of the time.
-
Break the Silence: Don't like, comment on, or share hurtful posts or rumors online. Refuse to join in when targeted comments are made.
-
Include Others: Reach out to peers who are being excluded or targeted. Invite someone sitting alone to join your table or walk with you in the hallway.
-
Report to Protect: Telling a teacher, counselor, or coach about unsafe or harmful behavior isn't about getting someone in trouble – it's about keeping fellow students safe.
Understanding the Distinction
- Social Conflict: Arguments, disagreements, or two-way tension between friends or peers where both sides have a say. It typically happens occasionally, without an imbalance of power, and both parties usually want to reach a resolution.
- Bullying: Repeated, intentional behavior meant to hurt someone physically, verbally, or socially. It involves an imbalance of power where one person or group uses size, popularity, or social status to gain power.
- Harassment: Unwelcome, targeting behavior aimed at a person based on protected characteristics, such as: race, ethnicity, religion, gender, disability, or sexual orientation. It creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment and violates school policy and civil rights standards.
Need Support or Have Questions? Reach out to any trusted staff member, administrator, or pupil services member. You can also report bullying or harassment anonymously through p3campus.com

The East Troy School District Board of Education has a student policy regarding student use of information technology, communication resources, and Wireless Communication Devices. This policy allows wireless technology to be utilized throughout our district during non instructional time and allows East Troy High School students to bring and use personal electronic devices outside of instructional time. Instructional time is defined as the moment the bell starts class until the bell ends it. Wireless Communication Devices (cell phones, tablets, non-approved laptops, and portable gaming devices). Students must refrain from using such devices during instructional time. These devices can cause a disruption to the learning of a student and others around them. If a student is on a WCD during class the following will occur:
- The device will be confiscated by the classroom teacher and turned in to the office
- A parent or guardian will be notified and expected to pick up the device by the end of that school day
- On the second offense, the device is again confiscated by the classroom teacher, and student serves two detentions
- Ongoing violations of the technology policy will result in increased discipline, including but not limited to: turning the phone into the office daily and and other measures including searches, and could potentially result in out-of-school suspension.
