Warrior Weekly News
A Weekly Newsletter for Warrior Families and Students
May 24, 2024
Greetings Warrior Families and Friends,
Ready or not, the last week of the 2023-24 school year is here! Please bear with me as I get a little cheesy, but I hope that your hearts are as filled with as much pride as mine due to the incredible growth our students have demonstrated throughout this action-packed school year. Seriously, there is so much to be proud of! In every realm, academics, activities, athletics, and within our fine arts programs, our Warriors have absolutely shined! We truly have amazing students, and it is such an honor to be a part of their journey.
In addition to a week filled with great learning and preparation for our final exams, our Warriors were quite busy outside of the classroom as well. Our girls softball team won the Classic 8 Conference title and followed it up with a WIAA Regional Championship as well. Our boys golf team also won the WIAA Regional Championship. Our track & field teams competed fiercely in Regionals and Sectionals and had a combined 21 athletes qualify for the State Championship meet. To top it off, on Wednesday evening, our amazing choir program honored our seniors and absolutely wowed the audience with their final concert of the year. If you missed out on the action this week, make sure you make it a priority to get here next week! Nearly all of our sports teams will be in action at home, as they continue on their quest to qualify for the State tournaments.
As we look ahead to Memorial Day weekend, in addition to enjoying the extra time with your family, please take a moment to reflect upon all there is to be grateful for. Take a moment to reflect upon our amazing country, our freedoms, and what it has cost to achieve these. Take a moment to honor the bravery and the courage of the men and women who fought and died, so we can live the American dream. Let us never forget that our freedoms were earned by the sacrifices of the brave heroes who have lost their lives fighting to protect those freedoms. Let us be grateful for these true Warriors!
As always, thank you for your incredible support and partnership. Now, let’s finish out this last week strong and crush those final exams!
Have an awesome weekend and GO WARRIORS!

Continuing the Conversation
I apologize for the repeat message, but this time of the year it is so important to talk about the risky behavior that our young adults will wrestle with as the season of graduation parties begins. The national data demonstrates that this is the most dangerous time of the year as it relates to teenage alcohol-related injuries. Please talk to your students about safe decisions. It is impossible to know the exact time our students will be faced with a decision to try alcohol, vapes, or drugs, so please, continue to have the conversation with your young adult(s) about how you feel about these decisions. Make time and make it a priority. You never know when the right conversation might just save a life. Thank you for your continued support and efforts to help keep our Warriors safe. As always, if you have additional questions or would like to discuss other resources, reach out to any member of our student services or administrative teams.

Female students were twice as likely as male students to report problems with depression in 2021.
Suicide was the second leading cause of death for Wisconsin youth (ages 10-24) in 2020.

MHS Student Parking
Dear Warrior Families,
We have reached the point in the school year where we have sold and fulfilled the number of parking passes for students that equals the number of student parking spots we have on the high school campus. We know that it is an exciting time in a teenagers life when they get their driver's license and want to continue to provide parking for new drivers moving forward. At this time if a student were to need to purchase a parking pass, it would be for our "satellite" parking lot by the soccer field. There will be a satellite lot specific parking pass issued to the student at a reduced rate of $10, students would need to register their vehicles just as in any other case. These parking passes can be picked up and paid for in the Athletic/Activities Office.
Just as a reminder, any vehicle on campus without the appropriate parking pass may be ticketed by the City of Muskego Police Department.
Please reach out to Mr. Brenton Roberts with any questions: brenton.roberts@muskegonorway.org or 262-971-1790 ext 4502
BUS BEHAVIOR
We would like to remind you that bus behavior is an extension of the school day, and riding on the bus is a privilege afforded to our students. Just as we expect respectful and responsible behavior in the classroom, we also expect the same standards to be upheld while traveling to and from school. It's crucial for the safety and well-being of all students that good behavior is maintained on the bus. We kindly request your support in reinforcing this message with your child, emphasizing the importance of respectful conduct during their bus rides. Together, we can ensure a positive and safe environment for all students. Thank you for your cooperation.
