MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL, JON SPREHN

Humke is an early childhood through third grade school. We currently have an enrollment of over 400 students. Our half day 4 year old kindergarten program, and our full day Kindergarten gives our students a rich introduction into the world of learning. A full complement of Special Education programs including Speech, Learning, Cognitive, and Behavioral Disabilities is available to serve our children.

Humke participates in the Student Achievement Guarantee in Education program (SAGE) sponsored by the State of Wisconsin. Lower class sizes allow our teachers to devote more time to each child.

Our teachers continuously provide the best practices in instruction for our students. Each child is treated as a unique, special person. We are committed to helping each child reach their fullest potential.  Please contact us for more information regarding our school. We work hard to ensure that every child is a part of our success.

EXCELLENT STAFF PREPARED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF ALL LEARNERS
We are proud of our caring staff who work to meet the academic and social-emotional needs of all learners. All our staff are highly dedicated, compassionate, and wholeheartedly believe in the potential of every student. The people who work in our building play an integral role in inspiring students to believe in themselves and finding their own passion for learning.

As a school community, we are dedicated to up-to-date professional development for our staff which in turn allows them to provide a high quality educational program that is geared toward meeting the individual needs of all learners.

KIDS CLUBHOUSE: BEORE/AFTER SCHOOL ONSITE CARE
In partnership with the YMCA, we offer "Kids Clubhouse" as a safe alternative for school-age children in need of school day wrap-around care. Participating students will have a snack, homework help, physical activity, crafts and more.

COOPERATION, ASSERTIVENESS, RESPONSIBILITY, EMPATHY AND SELF-CONTROL (CARES)
We see it as incumbent upon us to actively partner and help parents engage in their child's learning. "Humke Elementary School families and staff are working to create a school where all children are Challenged, Healthy, Engaged, Safe, and Supported."

To be successful academically and socially, we believe that children need to learn a set of values that include cooperation, assertiveness, responsibility, empathy, and self-control (CARES). CARES is rooted in Responsive Classroom. Responsive Classroom is an evidence-based approach to education that focuses on the strong relationship between academic success and social-emotional learning (SEL). Together with Conscious Discipline, which equips educators to integrate social-emotional learning, discipline and self-regulation, teachers spend less time policing behavior and more time teaching vital life skills. These elements are part of a systemic approach to creating a positive school environment for learning.

PARTNERSHIP AND VISION
We embrace our role in serving the families in our community. It is our goal to have all students leave Humke Elementary at grade level and to demonstrate CARES. We will accomplish this because of the partnership we have with our parents, community and each other.
