Dear Muskego Lakes Families,
It's been a busy week here at Muskego Lakes with our students Forward testing!
We know that all of you have played a huge role in this week being a success so thank you!
We appreciate you for helping students remember to bring headphones, for giving them the encouragement they needed, and for donating so each and every student had a snack throughout the week.
We have been beyond impressed with students' efforts throughout the week. They truly took their time and did their best to demonstrate their growth as learners. Weeks like this take perseverance, determination, and heart- so we are really proud of our Muskies!
There was a small group of students finishing up a test session today while their peers were with their homeroom teachers. In that small group, a student asked what would happen if he was the last one left testing. The students in the small group took it upon themselves to assure the student that they would all wait until everyone was done in the group before they returned to their homeroom together.
So while your child's academic progress is our number one priority, we are grateful for the many ways they live out our school vision each day.
With Love,
Rachel Rydzewski & Nancy Pasch

Mid-Week Munchies for Staff at MLMS
Speak Up, Speak Out Wisconsin
Our staff at Muskego Lakes take threats seriously. We are grateful for our partnership with students and parents as they continue to be invested in their school culture as we all work together to keep our schools safe. We encourage all families to talk about how a child should respond to any threat or concern, regardless of the source or legitimacy. If a student or parent is not comfortable going directly to a district staff member, they can use Wisconsin's Speak Up, Speak Out that will notify a school administrator and/or police authorities immediately. Speak Up, Speak Out! Speak Up, Speak Out is managed by the Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of School Safety.
You may make a report by visiting the website, using your smartphone by downloading the SPEAK UP, SPEAK OUT app from the Apple Store and Google Play, or by calling 1-800-MY-SUSO-1 to speak to a resource center analyst.
