Mill Valley Weekly

What a BLAST! We were so happy to see all of the families that were able to attend the Color Run last Friday. The excitement was in the colorful air. We captured so many amazing pictures and made memories that will last a lifetime. Special thank you to our PTO board and volunteers who made the event happen!

Next week, we kick off the Scholastic Book Fair. Students will have a chance to preview the book fair on Monday, October 17th. There are before and after school hours for families to visit the book fair. Check out the Mill Valley Events Calendar (Linked Here) for more details.

We're also looking forward to Fall Parent/Teacher Conferences coming up on Thursday, October 27th and Wednesday, November 3rd. Families will have the opportunity to sign up for a conference time with their student's teacher. Parents will be sent a sign up on Wednesday, October 19th via Infinite Campus.

Sincerely,

Robin Schrot, Principal

Allyce Harris, Associate Principal

Thinking Students...Changing the World!

As of October 1, 2022, 90% of our students at Mill Valley Elementary have not been tardy to school or class!

Rough mornings? Please know that the student services team at Mill Valley Elementary can assist you in establishing morning routines that work for everyone. Please call Deanna Nowicki (ext 8103) or Jen Losey (ext 8505).

Many thanks to all who planted, watered, weeded, and harvested. We received a little over 255 lbs. We are so appreciative of your commitment to the Muskego Food Pantry. Our families loved the fresh produce.

Thanks again.

Students have been learning and relearning about the expectations in each area of the school. Please talk to your child about the expectations and have them explain what they need to do in each area to be respectful, responsible and kind. Together we can make Mill Valley the place to be!
