Mill Valley Weekly

It is hard to believe, but we have already begun planning for next year. Class lists are complete and students will find out next year's teacher on the last day of school. 5K students will find out their teacher via email on June 10th. Our new staff has been hired and board approved. We are excited to add additional teachers to reduce some of our class sizes. Please check out staffing below.

Sincerely,

Robin Schrot, Principal

Allyce Harris, Associate Principal

Thinking Students...Changing the World!

During Monday's school board meeting, the Muskego-Norway School Board voted to make face coverings recommended (rather than required) for students, staff and visitors when on school property. This change will go into effect starting Monday, May 24th.

Please see the FAQ Re Face Coverings for Families for more information.

Our Parent Reentry FAQ has also been updated to reflect this change.

Special Note: Face coverings remain required on buses pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 264(a) and 42 CFR 70.2, 71.31(b), and 71.32(b)

Please contact the office (262-971-1830) if you plan on moving over the summer. We will update your student's enrollment in Infinite Campus and adjust our class lists.

Thank you!

On Wednesday, June 2, 2021 students and teachers will be participating in an all school read-in outside on the playground area. Please send your child with their books and a beach towel. The students will get to decorate their own personal book bag to take home. Teachers and students will be reading to each other or independently under the warm sun. A rain date will be Thursday, June 3.

Included in the book bag will be a “Tips to Encourage Reading” page and a recommended grade level book list for titles to read over the summer. We hope that students and families can find some time to read over the summer. Have fun and enjoy.

Mrs. Patchel’s second grade students care about shelter animals. We are researching shelter animals and look forward to teaching the other kids at Mill Valley about these animals. We learned that some animals stay in shelters for a long time and need something to snuggle with while they wait for their forever home.

We are in need of gently used or new blankets and towels for shelter animals. Please bring your towels and blankets. Place them in the bins labeled Blankets and Towels for the Wisconsin Humane Society.

Please bring these items from May 24-June 4.

Thanks for supporting our cause and Mrs. Patchel’s second grade class!

• Students and families will have the opportunity to go on a self-guided tour of the building. Classrooms will not be open.

• Families can walk through the school at their own pace and stay as little or as long as they’d like.
