Covid-19 Update to the Coulee Connections Community;
By now you have been aware that Governor Evers has extended the stay at home orders through the end of the school year. Unfortunately, this means that we will not be able to re-engage in face-to-face interactions this year. Our team will continue to provide an avenue for exciting academic instruction to our students utilizing a combination of virtual learning, in home work, and bin projects. We will continue to drop off and collect items bi-weekly through the remainder of the school year. These will be non-contact deliveries, but create an opportunity to ensure that students have what they need. Students are expected to be completing work assigned by teachers. To foster learning and help support the completion of work our team of teachers and staff continue to be available through our virtual school and through other forms of communication. Our team is providing daily structure and routine through virtual times; 10 a.m., 12 p.m., and 2 p.m. Students may also utilize email or request telephone conference, in order to connect and receive help with their academics or social emotional progress. We will continue to provide instruction through the scheduled last day, June 5th.
We understand that this is a difficult time and will affect individuals, families, schools, and communities differently. Our goal is to ensure that everyone is feeling supported and the lines of communication remain open. We will continue to provide opportunities for parent meetings every Tuesday and Thursday at 3:00. Please reach out to your student’s Case Manager if you would like to receive an invite and attend.
In a time where individuals can feel isolated we want to encourage you to utilize our platform as a community. Our team will continue to be available to provide academic, behavioral, social emotional, and structural support.

Welcome to Coulee Connections!
The vibrant, ever-expanding alternative environment
Welcome to Coulee Connections – your partners in restoring and building resiliency with children, youth their families and community.
It’s evident that finding happiness and fulfilment in modern society has become more challenging and stressful. The demands of daily living are on the rise. Our ability to bounce back from stress, challenge, tragedy, trauma and adversity is of the utmost importance in working through the muck toward better versions of ourselves. During these times it’s not uncommon for our supportive connections to be damaged or weakened, leaving us with feelings of increasing isolation and helplessness. The road to restoring and building resiliency is not made of independence or rugged self-reliance. It is born from a willingness for those in need, to find partnership with an inspired, responsive, compassionate, caregiver.
Coulee Connections provides “resiliency partnerships” providing Alternative Education Services and Comprehensive Community Services (CCS) to children, youth and young adults experiencing significant emotional, behavioral and social difficulties in their family, public school or community programs. Our Circle of Security informed practice is highly integrated, trauma informed, experientially based skill building that has been successful in supporting a wide range of needs.
Daily, our team at Coulee Connections pledges to live inspired lives, to be responsive, compassionate caregivers. Our team understands the journey to resilience cannot be your journey… we have to be always willing and always ready for it to be our journey. Whether the need is for a little or a lot of resiliency, I invite you to check us out. Visit the rest of our web site, come on in and chat with us, take a tour of programming, ask the tough partnership questions to see if we might be a fit for your resiliency journey.
Wishing you the best,
- Rob Van Nuland , Founder/CEO
Together, we can continue to heal & inspire our children.
