Muskego Lakes Family Newsletter

Dear Muskego Lakes Families,

With this Memorial Day long weekend, we know that means that our students have limited days of school remaining. Here are some ideas / reminders to help make the last days go smoothly:

• Have your child double check Infinite Campus to ensure all work is turned in and they are caught up for the end of the year.
• Have your child check their rooms, lockers, or homes for any school materials such as library books, textbooks, etc and return to school.
• Have your child check the lost and found for any items that may be theirs.
• Have your child bring home any extra coats, sweatshirts, hats, etc that are in their locker. You'd be surprised how much one locker accumulates in a year!
• Yearbooks will be distributed the last week of school.
• Spring iReady reports will be mailed home next week, please look for them.
• The final day of school, June 8th is a half day. Students are released at 12:00pm!

We hope that all of our Muskego Lakes families have a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day weekend! As always, please reach out to us if you have any questions.

In partnership,

Rachel and Nancy

If you would like your child to be able to check out 10-15 books from the library, please fill out the form below. Students who have permission will visit the library the last week of school to select books for summer reading. We will work with teachers to schedule time for students to come to the library for their books. Please submit by June 1, 2023.

Last week 5th graders brought home in their Musky Folders information regarding D.A.R.E graduation. We welcome parent/guardian/caregivers of our 5th grade students to attend. If you are attending, we ask that you please fill out this short survey HERE letting us know you are attending, so that we can expediate the check-in process at the main office.

We have quite the collection of items in our lost and found that are looking for their owners! Please encourage your child if they are missing sweatshirts, jackets, water bottles, pencil cases, hats, headbands, etc. to stop by student services to check for their missing items. Any items remaining on June 8th will be donated.

The MLMS PTO has teamed up with Muskego Lakes Middle School, generously providing $1,500 towards the end of the year 8th Grade Celebration. The remaining cost per student is $15, which helps pay for class shirts, the dance, food, etc. If you haven’t done so already, please submit your payment by Fri, May 26th via cash/check (made out to MLMS PTO) to the Muskego Lakes Main Office or Venmo to Becky Sawallich, PTO Vice President, @Becky-Sawallich.
