Are you interested in working in our schools, but not on a full-time basis? Do you enjoy working with kids? Consider serving as a substitute health room assistant in one of our schools!

Substitute health room assistants will receive training from our district nurses and will be contacted as needed. Some work once or twice a month, others more than that. While some medical experience is helpful, it is not mandatory. Substitutes must be CPR certified or willing to become certified. Hours and schools may vary.

If you are interested or would like more information, contact district nurse Noel Menghe (menghno@masd.k12.wi.us or 262.363.6292 x27515).

While it may not look like much work is progressing on the middle school referendum construction project, planning is very much underway! Read the latest updates in our Project Progress Reports on our district website!

Do you have concerns about your child’s development? The Mukwonago Area School District will conduct preschool screening for children between the ages of 3-5 years old, or children not attending 5 year old kindergarten. If you have concerns about your child's development, you are encouraged to register. If the child is not an MASD resident, they must be in an MASD school aged program.

District staff will screen your child in the areas of cognitive development, personal/social skills, fine motor (small muscle), gross motor (large muscle), adaptive, speech/language, hearing, and vision.This screening is NOT 4K or 5K kindergarten screening. There is no cost, and takes approximately 45 minutes.

To schedule a required appointment, please contact Gina Berka at 262.363.6300 x24201, or by email at berkagi@masd.k12.wi.us.
