Mill Valley Weekly

We hope you had a restful spring break. It is hard to believe we only have 10 more weeks of school! Next week kicks off our Forward Testing for all 3rd & 4th graders. We wish these students good luck as they prepare to share their knowledge and learning on the state exam.

Please see the altered lunch schedule below which affects all grade levels.

Sincerely,

Robin Schrot, Principal

Allyce Harris, Associate Principal

Thinking Students...Changing the World!

From Monday, April 4th through Friday, April 22nd, all specials and lunch schedules have been altered to accommodate an uninterrupted morning testing window.

The new lunch schedules are as follows:

Kindergarten → 11:00 - 11:30

1st Grade → 12:00 - 12:30

2nd Grade → 11:45 - 12:15

3rd Grade → 12:45 - 1:15

4th Grade → 12:30 - 1:00

THIS letter was sent to all 3rd & 4th grade parents with important information about our upcoming Forward Testing schedule. Please review and call the office if you have any questions.

Reminder to all K-8 families that the Infinite Campus registration window for this year’s Summer Learning Academy will remain open until Friday April 8 at 4:00. Although many courses are currently at capacity, there are still open options available for students.

Due to unforeseen technical issues, a segment of our families were not able to have access to class sessions for swimming when registration opened. By the time the error was corrected, many time slots were already filled to capacity and unavailable for these families. Additionally, some families signed up for more than one half-hour lesson for each of the June, July, and August sessions, further restricting options for those attempting to register their child.

Given these complications, along with the intent to provide equal registration opportunity to all families interested in this highly popular course offering, we will be erasing all current registrations for swimming and starting fresh with a new registration window on Tuesday, April 5 at 8:00 AM. The window will close on Friday, April 8 at 4:00 PM. At this time, we will be registering students for the June 13-24 session only.

IMPORTANT - All students who are currently registered will have to re-register during this April 5 - April 8 window. Families are reminded that they are to sign up for only one 30- minute time slot for the June 13-24 session.

Information will be forthcoming in regards to the new registration window for the July 11-22 and August 1-12 sessions.

We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause. We are confident, however, that this change in our process will lead to more equity for our families wanting to provide this opportunity to their children.

Monday, April 4th is the last day to give us your input on your child as a learner. Please complete THIS SURVEY by the end of the day Monday.

The information you provide will give us another perspective on your child. Please refrain from making specific teacher requests.

Next week, on Tuesday, April 5th, the Muskego-Norway community will have the opportunity to vote on two questions regarding the district’s facility plans. The two referendum questions are independent of one another. Therefore, electors may vote “yes” or “no” on each of the two questions. Depending on the final voting results, the electorate may approve one, both, or neither referendum questions.

For more information, please visit our website which includes an FAQ section, informational brochures, and videos.
