With the cold and snow season just around the corner, this is a friendly reminder to familiarize yourself with the district’s protocol for closing school due to inclement weather.

Muskego-Norway District has joined “Speak Up Speak Out Wisconsin” for threat or incident reporting. Speak Up Speak Out Wisconsin (SUSO) is a resource for when someone needs help. It allows an individual to confidentially report information about someone who is hurting, struggling, or in danger. Click on this link to view the form. You will notice as you start typing the name of your school, the choices for schools narrows so you can select your school. By selecting your school, this report goes to the principal or local law enforcement when needed. The video linked here gives a good overview of how “Speak Up Speak Out Wisconsin” works and is good to review with your family.

Going forward, we will have a graphic for Speak Up Speak Out Wisconsin at the bottom of each newsletter that you can click on for quick access to report incidents if needed. You can also add the Speak Up Speak Out App on your phone for quick reporting by utilizing these links:
