Professional Development Day - No School
Dear Lake Denoon Families,
In today’s world, it is crucial for every school system to maintain a heightened awareness of school safety. Rest assured, this will always be our top priority within our school system, and we are committed to ensuring the safety of our students and staff.
We have learned that a middle school student in our neighboring community, Mukwonago, received a threatening image via a social media app on Thursday, September 12th. With support from their police force, they continue investigating the matter. They believe their schools are safe, and they are in session today.
Rest assured, if any form of school threat was received in our district, it would be treated with the utmost seriousness and investigated thoroughly. We are proactive in our approach, and our robust partnership with our local law enforcement agencies ensures that every situation is handled with the necessary diligence.
Events like this create an opportunity for an impactful conversation with your student(s). Please talk with them about how they would respond if they received information of a threatening nature. Remind them of the importance of reporting information immediately to a trusted adult or through our SUSO app. Additionally, remind them that spreading rumors about a threat is also not okay and could result in significant disciplinary and legal actions. Finally, if you hear something as a parent/guardian, please immediately contact our police department. We all share the responsibility to keep our schools safe, and we appreciate your support.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

LDMS Suicide Awareness & Prevention Presentation
On September 23rd and 25th, the Student Services team at Lake Denoon will be facilitating a suicide awareness and prevention presentation for students. The purpose of this presentation is to equip students with information about signs and risk factors often associated with people who are contemplating suicide or having suicidal thoughts. In the presentation, students are informed about ways to problem-solve situations that may arise about suicide, receive suicide prevention resources, and are encouraged to seek help from a trusted adult. Students will have the opportunity to complete an exit survey asking if they need to be seen by a student services team member or, if they have a question following the presentation. Lake Denoon student services staff members will be available to meet with students who request to see someone. Students will be seen in order of priority on the date of the presentation and into the week. The link to the presentation is included below.
Please feel free to contact Student Services with any questions or concerns you may have. We can provide you with community resources. If you would like to opt your student out of listening to this presentation, please contact Student Services at 262-971-1820 (ext. 7011) and provide your child's name and grade to the Student Services Administrative Assistants (Jodie Henneberry and Nicole Bitter). Your student would need to come to Student Services at the start of the day to wait until the 10 minute presentation concludes.
Presentation schedule:
9-23-24 7th & 8th grade at the start of 1st hour class (Monday)
9-25-24 5th & 6th grade start of 1st hour class (Wednesday)
