Superintendent Search Update
On Monday, October 9, the School Board approved a Superintendent Profile that was created based on employee, family, and community feedback. Please visit our website to view the Superintendent Profile and search timeline.
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 has 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 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.
- 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.
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.
