    • School Meal Payment Update

      School Meal Payment Update Information provided in the caption
      Dear SDNR Families: Our SDNR School Nutrition Department is excited to announce some new changes

      Dear SDNR Families:

      Our SDNR School Nutrition Department is excited to announce some new changes that will be in effect for the new school year. We will be upgrading our systems and changing our electronic payment processing vendor. We hope this will provide a better experience for both our students and families. All of your students' information and current balance will be automatically transferred over to the new system.

      Beginning July 1, 2025, we will be switching our payment processing vendor to eFunds for Schools (EFS). This is the same platform that is used for paying fees for your students' accounts each year. This switch will offer a number of benefits, such as: Significantly lower fees per payment; A much higher payment limit per transaction; Depositing lunch funds at the same time as paying for other student fees; Paying as a guest rather than needing to set up an account.

      Our current payment vendor, MySchoolBucks, will no longer be active or accepting payments after June 30, 2025. If you have auto payment set up through MySchoolBucks, you will need to disable it before this date. An Autopay feature is available through EFS, and can be set to occur on either a set schedule or when a balance reaches a certain threshold.

      In addition to these benefits, you will now be able to see your students' account balance and purchase history from your Skyward Family Access page. All information will be available under the "Food Service" tab on the left. From here, you can also apply for free or reduced meal benefits or make a payment into the account.

      You may access the EFS payment portal using this link: https://payments.efundsforschools.com/v3/districts/56417/. You can also access it through your Skyward family access or download the SDNR Tigers app on the App Store. You will need your student's 7-digit District ID number or your Family ID number to add funds. This information will be sent to you separately in another email in the coming weeks.

      Please feel free to contact Nikke Hafemeyer (nhafemeyer@newrichmond.k12.wi.us) with any questions you may have.

      We are excited to share that Starr Elementary has been recognized as a Model Professional Learning Community (PLC) at Work® school, by Solution Tree, a world-wide education company that empowers educators to raise student achievement!

      Please join us in congratulating Starr Elementary on this incredible accomplishment and celebrating the impact of our shared commitment to the fearless pursuit of excellence through the School District of New Richmond. Thank you for being an integral part of our journey to success.

    • News From the NRHS Ag Department!

      Eli and Breanna with Mrs. Sauvola
      Exciting news from the NRHS Ag Room: Breanna and Eli filled out scholarship applications for the FFA

      Exciting news from the NRHS Ag Room:

      Breanna and Eli filled out scholarship applications for the FFA Washington Leadership Conference (WLC). Eli was selected as a recipient and will attend this premier summer gathering in D.C. for agricultural student leaders. WLC inspires FFA members to become changemakers in their schools and communities. Each day of the conference focuses on a different principle taught through the context of our nation's capital. These principles include exploration, encouragement, advocacy, and service. At the end of our week there, he will leave with a Living to Serve Plan he can implement back here!

      Agriscience Instructor Rachel Sauvola hasn't taken students to D.C. in more than 20 years!

      Eli also just completed his State FFA Degree. This is the top degree you can earn at the state level and is usually accomplished senior year or after you graduate from high school. Eli set the goal to get it his junior year and worked very hard on the 17-page application highlighting his Supervised Agricultural Experience project details, financials, community service, skills and competencies learned, and a whole lot more. Ultimately, he has taken 360 hours of Agriscience courses, worked more than 600 hours, and earned/productively invested $2000 in his SAE projects.

      There have only been a handful of other NR students who have earned this degree when they were a junior. He will be awarded this honor at the Wisconsin State FFA Convention in June. As a point of reference, our last recipient was Rose, who is presently finishing her student teaching for Agricultural Education in Clear Lake.

The goal of the study is to learn more about how school nutrition programs are cooking food from scratch and utilizing fresh food in school meals. Our district was one of 36 in the entire U.S. selected for this research, and one of only 12 who had in-person visits! We love sharing the amazing work that our School Nutrition Professionals do every school day!
