A MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT
The new year is here, and with it comes the excitement of new opportunities and the rapid approach of the semester/trimester's end. This is a wonderful time to reflect on the incredible journey our students and families take through the K-12 experience and celebrate the milestones along the way.
For parents of seniors, this is a season filled with pride and reflection as you witness the culmination of years of hard work and cherished memories. Parents of 8th graders are on the brink of an exciting new chapter, with high school offering endless opportunities for growth and discovery. And parents of 4th graders are celebrating the progress their children have made in elementary school while preparing for the exciting transition to middle school—a time of curiosity, development, and new experiences.
No matter where you are on this journey, you are never alone. Our schools are filled with passionate professionals who are deeply committed to supporting your students and your family every step of the way. Together, we are building the 1Warrior community that empowers every student to achieve awesome things.
The partnership between our schools and families is at the heart of everything we do, and we are so grateful for the collaboration, trust, and support you bring to our district. Together, we are living our mission of every student, learning, growing, and succeeding.
Please take some time to celebrate the amazing accomplishments of the first half of the school year and look forward to an even more incredible second half ahead. Thank you for your continued support in making Muskego-Norway Schools a very special place to be a part of.
2025-2029 Strategic Plan Community Feedback Sessions
Muskego-Norway Schools is developing our 2025-2029 Strategic Plan, and we want your input! Your support is the foundation of our success, and your feedback is crucial to shaping the future of our schools.
There are two remaining opportunities for you to join the conversation:
- January 16 from 6:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.
- January 20 from 8:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m.
Meetings will occur at the Educational Services Center (ESC) at S87W18763 Woods Rd. These sessions will include:
- A review of our previous strategic plans and key performance indicators
- Time to share your insights on current strengths, growth opportunities, aspirations (where should our district be in five years?), and results (what data will define success and track progress?)
Our schools' success is built on the incredible support we receive from the families and communities we serve. Your perspective matters, and we hope you can attend one session to share your insights to help us fulfill our commitment to continuous improvement.
To help us prepare with adequate space and resources, please RSVP at this link. Please select only one event.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership as we work together to create an even brighter future for our students!
