Muskego Lakes Family Newsletter
August 4th, 2023
Dear Muskego Lakes Families,
Can you believe it is already August?
The start of the 2023-24 school year is just around the corner!
We are hard at work getting the building ready, finalizing student schedules, and preparing for the early start this year.
In order to make sure you have all of the information you need for the upcoming school year, we wanted to give you a heads up that we sent home our summer mailer earlier this week. It contains important information you'll need for the school year ahead, so please make sure to check it out.
If you have any questions about anything in the mailer and/or if you haven't received the mailer by the end of next week, please reach out to Mary Amaya, Administrative Assistant to the Principal, at mary.amaya@muskegnorway.org. (That way, we can get it out to an updated address ASAP.)
Enjoy the rest of your summer days and know that we are looking forward to seeing you all very soon!
In partnership,
Rachel and Nancy
Muskego Lakes Principals
