Meet the Principal
Ivy Meierotto, Washburn Elementary Principal
Hello, my name is Ivy Meierotto and I am the principal here at Washburn Elementary. My family and I are originally from Washburn. I went to Washburn Elementary and graduated from Washburn High School. I then went to college at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (Go Badgers!) where I earned a degree in Elementary Education. After graduating from college, I returned home and started teaching 2nd and 3rd grade here in Washburn. I then moved to kindergarten where I taught for 6 years. Kindergarten was so much fun! After that, I spent one year as an instructional coach and then transitioned to the Elementary Principal position, where I am today.
Besides learning everything I can about child development and public education, I also love to read books about people and places I’ve never seen, spend time outdoors (hiking, gardening, or hanging out at the beach), and cheering on the Wisconsin sports teams! I have a family of four (plus a dog, a rabbit, and a goldfish) and we love to do art projects, play games, and try out new recipes.
I love hearing from both students and community members so never hesitate to reach out. I am available by email (imeierotto@washburn.k12.wi.us) by phone (715-373-6199 ext. 209) or even by mail (P.O. Box 730 Washburn, WI 54891). Things get pretty busy during the school year (check out my sample schedule to see what a day in the life of a principal looks like!) so if I don’t answer right away, please know that hearing from you is important to me, and that I will return your message as soon as I can!
