Mill Valley Weekly

The past few months we have been focusing on being Respectful (February), Responsible (March), and Kind (January). Looking ahead, we are going to continue to focus on our core values which include being a “caring community”... a part of our Mill Valley Vision.

We have many traditions that foster our value of being a caring community. One example is our upcoming all-school May Day. Students deliver homemade baskets to houses in the neighborhood, spreading joy to families. Spring planting season is right around the corner and we will soon be preparing the garden beds for planting. All of the produce we harvest is donated to the Muskego Food Pantry. We continue to celebrate the caring school community that we have at MV and look forward to exploring new ways to demonstrate this each and every day.

Sincerely,

Robin Schrot, Principal

Allyce Harris, Associate Principal

The last few months you have seen our Student Summit “Save the Date” flyer regarding an exciting opportunity for students, families and teachers! We are looking forward to hosting our first district wide Elementary Student Summit on August 25th and 29th. To begin the 2021-2022 school year, we ran a pilot of this event and received overwhelmingly positive feedback. Moving into the 2022-2023 school year, we are excited to offer this opportunity to all families.

The purpose is to support the transition into a new school year by learning information about a student and for a student to begin building a relationship with their teacher. All participating students will engage in a get to know you activity and possibly be given the opportunity to complete beginning of the year academic assessments. Parents/guardians are asked to stay on site to engage with materials from their child’s teacher.

You will receive additional information the week of August 8th. This communication will include the option to select a time slot on either August 25th or August 29th. There will be evening times available on August 25th. We ask that you stay at the building while your child is meeting with their teacher. Once you receive our summer communication, please complete the registration by Thursday, August 18th.

The SLA registration window 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.
