–Jennifer McDermot, Curriculum, Little Chute, on the CESA 6 Literacy Center

“These two ladies have been 'godsends' as they helped us this past spring to work through some potential legal issues proactively with our schools and their staff. We look forward to our continued partnership with them this coming year to develop a comprehensive ELL service delivery model and strategic plan as well as provide necessary professional development and training for staff. We were able to exit about twenty students from our ESL programs that had met criteria but for whom records were not aligned until the data was cleaned up.”

– Patricia Vickman, Executive Director of Administration, Oshkosh Area School District on the CESA 6 ESL Services

“It made a huge difference in providing intensive training and support to my staff as we embark on the implementation of a full Balanced Literacy model for all of our K-5 students.

"Another huge advantage to CMS4Schools is that it is run out of CESA 6.  They understand school budgets and will not raise the cost more than they think districts can handle.  They are very very easy to work with and care about the quality of their product."

- Classroom teacher and former WEMTA Communications Chairperson

“CMS4Schools was absolutely the right choice for our Web page. It's clean, professional, easy to use and keep up to date. Link4Learning: We are much more efficient in our technology support and maintenance support because of I Forms. That and the calendar feature that integrates with the web page are the features we use the most.”

– Jennifer Boyd, Director of Technology and Support Services, Slinger School District

"We are also using CMS and are very happy with the features and ease of the website.  Teacher web pages are easy to maintain and upload documents, creating surveys online, building request forms, and its ability to work with schedule star (High School Sports Net) to coordinate events onto our calendar."

- Stacie Cihlar, Integration Coach, School District of Mishicot

“I think the CESA 6 staff does a great job in the Horicon School District. Whenever I have issues in my lab you are fixing/solving the problems within a day or two. You also provide information (Web sites) that teachers could incorporate into their classrooms as well as training for new software for the staff when needed. I know our labs would not be as effective or efficient if it were not for your services.”

– Eric Kreuser, Horicon Public School District
