The kindness and support of the Phelps community for the School District is unparalleled. For this reason and so many others, everyone at Phelps School District would like to extend our sincere appreciation to everyone who voted in support of the 2021 referendum.
We promise to continue to work hard to save taxpayers money when possible and to always provide the best education we can for all students.
This is why the Phelps School District has served the Phelps Community for 100 years! We hope this partnership will continue long into the future! Once again, thank you for your support.

Updated 20-21 Calendar
During the October 21, 2020 board meeting, it was approved to adjust our current 20-21 calendar. November 23 & 24 will now be virtual teacher in service days. Students will be off on those two days. December 21 & 22 will be virtual student instruction days. They will be asynchronous instruction days, meaning students will not have to log in to classes at a set time. Attendance will be determined by completion of student course work.
The focus for the November in service will be Staff Mental Wellness during these trying times. In December the teachers will focus on sharing relevant resources and projects for students regarding student mental wellness. It is the belief of the Phelps School District, taking time to understand how we can help each other out and get through this school year in the best way possible is a priority!
In addition, it is important to utilize already scheduled breaks at Thanksgiving and Christmas to increase our opportunity to have our school building empty for an extended time. This improves our ability to deep clean and time to mitigate Covid by having everyone out of the building.
Please check with Phelps Daycare for their days and times of service. They will be closed for a few days during each of those weeks to allow for deep cleaning of the daycare.
We hope these two changes to our school calendar will help everyone to relax and refuel focusing on self-care!
School Building Opens at 7:45am for students
Dear Parents, please note that in the morning Phelps School building is closed until 7:45am. Teachers are not in their classroom until then. Students will have no place to go if you drop them off at school before 7:45am. Due to safety protocols, we are not opening up the Library to keep a room available for students to come to school before 7:45am. It is simply not a safe way to begin school having a large group of students all in one room waiting for school to begin.
Parents dropping off students should do so at the main entrance in the upper parking lot no earlier than 7:45am.
Students driving to school should park in the lower parking lot and may enter the school building at 7:45am.
Students riding the bus will be dropped off at school at a pre-arranged time.
The daycare is available for parents who need earlier arrival times. Please call 715-545-2724 ext. 105 to make arrangements.
Thank you for supporting Phelps School and the safety protocols we have put in place.
