A MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT

It has been truly energizing to see our buildings come alive again with the laughter, energy, and excitement of nearly 5,000 students ready to learn, grow, and succeed. THANK YOU for sharing your amazing children with us. We are so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of their journey.

The transition back to school is a big one for students and families alike. It takes time to settle into routines, build connections, and reinforce the high expectations that make our schools so special. Your support at home, encouraging your child(ren) to be prepared, present, and on time, helps us instill important life and career readiness skills that will serve them far beyond the classroom.

As the year gets underway, thank you for continuing to show up. Whether it’s welcome-back events, PTO meetings, parent-teacher conferences, concerts, athletic competitions, or any of the countless activities happening across our district, your presence and encouragement are truly at the heart of our success.

Your partnership is what makes us a true 1Warrior community. Together, we will create incredible opportunities and ensure that every student has a bright future ahead.

2025 Summer School Enrollment

Muskego-Norway Schools summer programming continues to thrive as we keep the minds and bodies of our students and staff actively engaged during the summer months. This past summer, we set a new record for participation with 2,748 resident students taking advantage of the gap-closing, enrichment, or credit-bearing courses offered K4-12.

In large part, our participation, which can be seen in the graph below, continues to see high levels due to the wide variety of enrichment opportunities offered at different times for all grade levels throughout the summer. Examples include K4-8 swimming (780 lessons given between June and August), 1st-4th grade All-Sport Academy (110 participants), College Essay Workshop for high school seniors (60 participants), and 6th-12th grade Muskego Power (720 participants).

In addition, new enrichment courses at the elementary, middle, and high school levels also provided many students with exciting opportunities in areas of woodworking, robotics, culinary arts, and physical education. We are thrilled that the high levels of enrollment continue to allow students to learn, grow, and succeed during the summer months.
