A MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT
From Turkey Trots and Dress Like an Elf days to the joyful Sounds of the Season and winter concerts, it’s impossible not to feel the excitement and energy of the holiday season throughout our district. Everywhere you look, there are moments that fill our hearts with pride and highlight the strength of our amazing 1Warrior community. This holiday spirit is evident in the many food drives led by our schools, ensuring our local food pantry can meet growing needs during this time of year. It also shines through in the heartfelt, handwritten notes from our high school music students, thoughtfully paired with each of the nearly 600 poinsettias they donated to local adult living centers. In countless ways, the essence of being 1Warrior is on full display. Our schools and community are special because we come together to support, celebrate, and care for one another. Our schools remain among the best in the state thanks to the relentless dedication of our staff and the incredible support of our families and community. Together, we truly embody the 1Warrior spirit! So, let’s embrace the joy of these final weeks of December and make every moment count! Winter break will be here before we know it.

2024-2025 Fast Facts
Every year, we compile data related to school performance and achievements to bring our mission to life across the system. To support our mission, part of our strategic plan is to measure data in three different categories: Exemplary Student Learning and Engagement, Highly Effective Personnel and Expert Teaching, and Sound Stewardship and Community Support. From academics to co-curriculars and everything in between, we are excited to share our highlights and achievements from the 2024-25 school year.

Threats are Taken Seriously
Please remember that if you or your children see or hear something suspicious, you should immediately report it to an administrator, a School Resource Officer, or call the local police department. We are committed to ensuring a safe learning environment for our students, and we are fortunate to have strong partnerships with you, our parents/guardians, in our district. With threats occurring more often in school districts, it is important that we take a moment to lean on this partnership and ask you to have a conversation with your children regarding the serious implications of making a threat to a school. Such behavior may have a lasting impact on a child’s education and future. The impact on the entire family is profound. Rather than waiting, we are asking you to personally discuss this issue with your children now. Whether a student perceives making a threat as a joke or “not a big deal”, making a threat toward a school could result in suspension, expulsion, and/or being charged as an adult with a felony. According to State of WI statute 947.015: “Whoever intentionally conveys or causes to be conveyed any threat or false information, knowing such to be false, concerning an attempt or alleged attempt being made or to be made to destroy any property by the means of explosives is guilty of a Class I felony.” We continue to encourage our students and school community to report through Speak Up, Speak Out (SUSO) anything that could constitute a threat to school safety. As always, we work closely with local law enforcement to assist in these situations. Thank you for taking a moment to have this discussion with your children.
School Safety
Please know that Muskego-Norway Schools have safety plans and practices in place to prepare our school community for a crisis. Safety efforts and procedures include:
- Three (3) Muskego Police Officers serving as School Resource Officers in our buildings. We lead Waukesha County and all rural school districts in southeast Wisconsin when it comes to staffing police in our schools.
- District and school-level Emergency Response Teams meet regularly with the Muskego Police Department to research and implement the most up-to-date procedures in protecting our students and staff from dangers in a crisis, as well as disseminate to staff at all buildings our safety procedures and protocols to follow.
- All external doors are locked during school hours, with supervised main entrances at all of our buildings.
- Visitor entry is permitted only with official identification.
- Annually, MNSD conducts all state-mandated drills, including two "lockdown" drills.
- Background checks are required for volunteers and staff members to enter our schools and work with students.
- Students who leave the learning environment during school hours and return are required to check in through the front office.
We know that schools are safest when students, staff, and families work together to reduce violence and address potential safety issues. We are asking that you continue to monitor your child’s and others’ online and social media activity and report any school safety concerns to law enforcement and school officials immediately. We are grateful for your partnership as we work together to keep our children safe.
