Mill Valley Weekly

New to Golden Awards this year, we will be recognizing attendance in a number of different ways...

• grade level with the lowest % of absences for the month
  
• classroom with the lowest % of absences for the month
  
• students with perfect attendance for the month
  

Research shows that good attendance habits in the early grades are strong predictors for future success in high school and beyond.

Reminder, there is no school for students on Friday, November 4th. Our teachers will be engaged in professional development.

Sincerely,

Robin Schrot, Principal

Allyce Harris, Associate Principal

Thinking Students...Changing the World!

Every Friday, we recognize one student from each den color for their positive behavior. Our Paw Print winner's names are read over morning announcements, they get a paw print to display on their locker, as well as have their group picture posted in the Mill Valley Weekly.

Based on the behavioral data, each month we will concentrate on an area of the school in an effort to reinforce positive behaviors. Staff may acknowledge positive behavior of students by handing out paw prints. Students will then turn them into the den jar (by the library) for weekly drawings or recognition.

• Families are welcome to arrive at 2:10pm and enter door 12, by the gym.
• Parking will be available on the blacktop area as well as the bus lane. Cars must be removed no later than 3:30.
  

• Once your ID has been scanned through Raptor, our visitor system, make your way to the gym to watch the parade.
  

• The parade will begin at 2:30.

All students going home with a parent following the parade

must be signed out in their student's classroom.

Chronic Absenteeism is defined as missing 10% or more of the school year for ANY reason (including doctor excused absences). Historically, in the Muskego Norway Schools, our percent in attendance is high. Last year it averaged 95.84% at Mill Valley. While that is an awesome number that should be celebrated, think of the 11 students (4.16%) that did not reach that. What can you do to increase that? What can we, at MV, do to increase that. Please let Deanna Welsh know your ideas by calling (262-422-1131) or emailing her.

Join us in the Mill Valley Gym. Please enter at Door #12

Doors will be open from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Children must be accompanied by an adult (no drop-offs).

Pizza, hotdogs, popcorn, candy and beverages will be available for purchase. CASH ONLY *

We wanted to say thank you again for your support at our MV Book Fair this year. We had such a great turnout and the kids were excited to get new books and shop with their fellow classmates. We raised $10,663.09 from the event. The money raised will support the art department and special educational department with necessary supplies needed.

If your child wasn’t able to purchase any books/items at our in-person book fair last week, they can easily order online until October 30th. Please click the following link below: https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/millvalley
