Dear Muskego Lakes Families,

Hopefully by now you have received your child's Quarter 1 Report Card. And while your child's learning is our #1 priority, we are just as concerned about your child's social-emotional well-being here at school. So as always, please reach out to any member of the school staff if you have any questions or concerns regarding your child's academic progress and/or well-being here at school!

At Muskego Lakes, we work really hard to connect hearts and minds, caring for the whole child. And, we know that it takes a village- especially in middle school- to best support them, point out their strengths, and help them navigate the middle school years. So, thanks for all you do to partner with us to best meet the needs of your child!

And as a district, we work each day to provide a great place for students to learn, teachers to teach, employees to work, and parents to send their children for an excellent education. We are committed to listening and responding to your experiences as a parent in our district. So, our partners at Huron/Studer Education are providing an opportunity for you to provide feedback anonymously at the link below. Please take a few minutes to complete the Parent/Family Satisfaction Survey using the following link.

Muskego Lakes Middle School– https://rezed.io/1N9DQ6

The survey is scheduled to open today (November 19th) and remain open through December 17th. Your feedback will be used to celebrate our successes and to create action plans for areas we can improve. Your input is valuable to us as principals!

Thank you for your commitment to our district’s success. And thanks for all the ways you help us keep Muskego Lakes a premier middle school! We are grateful for your support, for the ideas you bring forward to help us improve, and that you trust us as we walk alongside your children here at school each day.

With love,

Rachel Rydzewski & Nancy Pasch
