This program is a playgroup consisting of five students with special needs and five typically developing students. It meets multiple times a week for two hours a day at Jackson Elementary School in Mrs. Kitzmiller’s classroom. During this program, play-based learning will expose students to literacy, gross and fine motor, and language development activities. This model allows for enrichment for all children who participate in the program. Research shows that these blended classrooms provide benefits for all children who participate.
To be eligible to attend: Children should be three years old by September 1, 2025, and toilet trained. Registration is limited to five students per session, and a lottery system will be utilized to determine placement. The lottery will be held on April 15, 2025, and families will be notified by May 1, 2025, if their child is selected to attend. Families of peer models will need to provide their own transportation to and from school.
Please contact Jill Kitzmiller at kitzji@elkhorn.k12.wi.us if you would like further information.

It's Giving Tuesday! Consider making a gift to the School Lunch Angel Fund at tinyurl.com/Elk-Lunch-Angel.
The goal of the Elkhorn Area School District Food Service department is to provide nutritious meals to our students, working to improve the diet and overall health of our children. School meals help students sustain the energy they need to be successful in the classroom, however, many families who are experiencing financial difficulties cannot afford to keep money in their student’s lunch account. The School Lunch Angel Fund seeks to provide short-term assistance to families in need by covering negative lunch account balances and ensuring no child goes home hungry.
