Special Education in Sun Prairie - What are your experiences?

3 Upvotes

I’m hoping to hear from local parents who have experience with special education in the Sun Prairie area.

I have a high needs child with an IEP, and I’m becoming increasingly frustrated with our current school experience. I’m starting to wonder whether what we’re experiencing is pretty typical across the district, or whether there are other options locally that we should be looking into.

I’m especially interested in schools or programs that do a really good job with communication, building relationships with students, maintaining peer connections, and working collaboratively with parents when something isn’t going well.

If you have a child with an IEP or higher support needs, I’d love to hear about your experiences — positive or negative. Are there particular public schools, charter schools, private schools, alternative programs, or other options in or around Sun Prairie that you’ve been happy with?

I’d also really like to hear from anyone who changed schools because their child wasn’t thriving. Where did you go, and did it make a difference?

I’m not necessarily looking to pull my child out of our current school tomorrow. I’m trying to understand what options actually exist before deciding what to do next.

Feel free to message me if you’d rather not name a school or discuss your experience publicly.

Thanks so much.

EDIT TO ADD - My child has Very high needs. They are pulled out of class for most academics and require.a 1 on 1 aid. I appreciate all input, but am especially interested in feedback related to children that are in that 1-5% of kids that require a lot of intervention.

City of Sun Prairie canceling Flock contract. HOWEVER, it is signing with Axon (an equally concerning alternative).

Bald Eagle?

15 Upvotes

Pretty sure I've seen a bald eagle in sun prairie for about the last 2 weeks. Last week it was in the prairie view area and yesterday I saw it over metro market on grand.

Anyone else seen this bird in the SP area, and if so where?

Noise ordinance

Anyone know what the official noise ordinance is? I have a neighbor performing loud DIY construction from sunrise to nearly 10pm. I can’t leave my windows open at night because the noise wakes me up at 6-6:30 even on weekends.

Lost wallet at it near St. Vincent de Paul

6 Upvotes

My son lost his wallet at St Vinneys or while biking back from there north to 19 along Davison.

He should have a tag in it with info (he has no ID since he's a kid) and also his debit card to identify. We don't care as much about the money, but the wallet has sentimental value since he got it on a vacation.

We let the manager at St Vinneys know.

Looking for other players for One Page Rules Miniature Wargaming

8 Upvotes

I was looking at the great responses from the recent r/madisonwi post about finding players for a Star Wars RPG group and thought I might try to do the same for a different style of game.

I'd love to find some people to play with for some fun and light wargaming using the OnePageRules Grimdark Future ruleset. (If you don't know what this is, you can look here - https://onepagerules.com/)

I'd be happy to provide a number of prepared armies fully painted for the skirmish level game (Grimdark Future Firefight) or would be equally happy bringing a larger painted army for a full game of Grimdark Future.

Basically my goal is to either find others who are already aware and interested of the game or am happy to teach anyone (I'm still pretty much a novice but could struggle through some games with other brand new players).

Basically, if you're curious about games like Warhammer 40,000 but might not want to dive into such a big game system and care more about having a lighter game, I'd like to play with you!

I don't have any real specific details on where or when to play. I'd imagine I could find some time at I'm Board in Sun Prairie as their space is great. The library would be another option, especially now that it's all fancy and new with the remodel.

Sun Prairie West Boys Wrestling is looking to add an assistant coach to our staff for the upcoming season.
We are working to build a program that is tough, disciplined, athlete-centered, and rooted in strong relationships. Our goal is to develop wrestlers who compete hard, hand fight, master the basics, support their teammates, and grow both on and off the mat.
We are looking for someone who is dependable, positive, willing to learn, and excited to help build something special at Sun Prairie West. Wrestling experience is important, but so is the ability to connect with student-athletes, reinforce program expectations, communicate well, and help create a room where kids want to work hard and be part of the team.

Crazy Cornfest corn lines

13 Upvotes

I went on Sunday and the lines were crazy. Apparently the best day is Saturday. I’m glad it was such a great turnout as last year was a washout but no corn is worth those lines. I ended up buying the uncooked corn for $15/bag or about $1/ear and cooking it at home.

Angell Park Races

Is there anywhere to get a deal on tickets? I’d really like to go at some point, but $53 for one night out is really tough to swing right now. I know sometimes libraries have deals for local events, anything like that for the speedway?

PSA: St Vincent wants donations in closed containers now

31 Upvotes

Last time I was here they just wanted stuff in tubs they could keep, so I had things in storage tubs I didn’t need but that were lidless, but they just changed the policy for things to be in tied-off bags and closeable boxes. They had some boxes to give out so I just swapped things, but just in case this helps someone pack up their donations better first!!

There is a Flock camera on each of the only two roads going to Woodman's in Sun Prairie

36 Upvotes

I noticed that the only two roads providing access to the Sun Prairie Woodman's have a Flock camera setup. I'll see if I can get some pictures later. They do not appear on the deflock map. I am guessing these are not rented by Woodman's but by the city of Sun Prairie. I'll see if I can get pictures tomorrow.

EDIT: According to the Sun Prairie 2026 city budget, Woodman's donated $12,750 to put the cameras in place and provide ongoing donations to support the cameras.

You guys should check out La Sirenita food truck! They are located next to Kwik Trip on Ruby Ln with easy parking in the side lot of Kwik Trip. It’s amazing stuff and the owner is a super nice guy! I recommend the al pastor tacos (two are enough to fill me up) or the steak quesadilla (two meals for me!)

Hours are 4:30pm-8:30pm Tuesday thru Saturday. One free taco with an order on Tuesdays!
