Vilas School District RE-5

🚧 **Out with the Old, In with the New!** 🚧 Exciting changes are happening at our district! We're upgrading our walkway ramps and sidewalks in front of the school to better serve everyone. 🛠️ Please excuse our mess as we remove the current sidewalks and ramps in front of the school and install brand-new ones. Your patience is appreciated as we work to make our facilities safer and more accessible for all! Thank you for your understanding and support! 🙌
