A MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT

It’s hard to believe we’re already six weeks into the school year. Time is truly flying! As the air turns crisp and the brilliant colors of fall begin to show, it’s a wonderful reminder of the seasons of growth we experience together as a school community.

Most of our buildings have had their first round of parent-teacher conferences, while others will happen this week and next. These conversations are so much more than calendar events; they’re a powerful part of the partnership between the families we serve and the caring staff throughout our schools. Strong schools are built on strong relationships, and when communication is open and we’re united around the shared goal of supporting every child, great things happen.

Our staff truly values these opportunities to connect with you, celebrate successes, and collaborate to support each student’s learning journey. Your involvement and support make a difference every single day.

Thank you for being such an important part of our 1Warrior team. We’re proud of the partnership we share and are excited to continue the year together, helping every student learn, grow, and succeed.

Together, we are 1Warrior!

2025-26 Eye on the Goal

Our 2025–26 Eye on the Goal (EOTG) document is now available on our district website. The EOTG outlines our annual goals and clearly connects them to our district’s strategic plan. This alignment ensures that our daily practices and initiatives are guided by a shared vision and mission. Each department and building has developed its own EOTG plan using a consistent structure, creating a cohesive and integrated system that keeps us all moving in the same direction. Below are several key focus areas that will guide our collective efforts throughout the 2025–26 school year.

  • Enhance opportunities to foster student wellness and belonging
  • Create and deploy action steps to improve academic excellence and life readiness for all learners
  • Enhance opportunities for staff wellness, development, and retention
  • Implement continuous improvement efforts focused on operational sustainability and parent engagement

Threats are Taken Seriously

Please remember that if you or your children see or hear something suspicious to immediately say something 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 great 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 on a school. Such behavior may leave 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 on a school could result in suspension, expulsion, and/or being charged as an adult with a felony. According to State of WI statue 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 1 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 practices 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 who 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 disseminating to staff at all buildings our safety procedures and protocols to follow.
  • Safety plans are reviewed and approved annually by the Muskego-Norway School Board.
  • All external doors ​are ​locked during school hours, and we have supervised main entrances ​at all of our buildings.
  • Visitors need permission to enter school buildings using an official ID.
  • Annually, MNSD conducts all state mandatory drills, including two "lockdown" drills.
  • Background checks are required for volunteers and staff members to enter into 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 safer 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.
