The Superintendent Scoop

Welcome to March! It’s hard to believe we are almost three-quarters of the way through the school year. This time of year always brings a great deal of energy and activity to our buildings as we head into spring. In the months ahead, our students will be engaged in state testing, exciting field trips, and many end-of-the-year events that celebrate their hard work and accomplishments. Please take a few moments to review the upcoming events section of this newsletter so you don’t miss any important dates.

Our winter months have been filled with engaging and meaningful educational activities across the district. At our middle/high school, students enjoyed a couple of outstanding assemblies that brought learning to life and strengthened our school culture. We also welcomed a digital dome planetarium in the media center, giving students a unique, immersive experience that expanded their understanding of space and science. At the elementary, students explored healthy food choices, enjoyed a fun day of sledding, and are now preparing for March is Reading Month with many exciting activities planned. It has truly been a season full of learning, fun, and memorable experiences for our students. As always, thank you for your continued support of our students and schools—let’s make it a strong finish to the school year!

We are excited to share that Mayville Community Schools has added a new Community Resources tab to our school website, mayvilleschools.org.

This new MCS Community Resource Page is designed to serve as a helpful guide for families in our community. Whether you are looking for food assistance, help with housing costs, or opportunities to participate in fun, family-friendly community events, this page brings important information and contact details together in one easy-to-use location.

You can find the Community Resources tab on the right side of the red banner located just under the main photo on our school’s homepage.

• Family-Friendly Community Events will be posted directly on the homepage.

• Additional resources can be found under the Resources tab at the top of the page.

If you would like to share a community event or resource to be included on this page, please email the information to mike.seaman@mayvilleschools.org.

We hope this new resource is helpful to our families and strengthens the connections within our community. Thank you for your continued support of Mayville Community Schools.

On May 5th, our district will have a Non-Homestead Millage Renewal on the ballot. This proposal is not a millage increase—it is simply a renewal to maintain the current rate of 16.1589 mills. While a non-homestead millage increase was voted down in the fall, I surveyed our community following the election, and the results indicated that residents would like to see a renewal placed on the ballot. This renewal allows us to continue receiving essential operational funding without raising the current rate. Please remember to get out and vote on May 5th. If you have any questions about the millage renewal, please contact Superintendent Mike Seaman at mike.seaman@mayvilleschools.org

The winter sports season is winding down, and it has been an exciting few months for our student-athletes and fans. We are proud to celebrate two outstanding individual milestones this season. Senior Solomon Fisher earned his 100th career victory in wrestling—an incredible accomplishment that reflects years of dedication and hard work. On the basketball court, Jackson Buhl surpassed 1,000 career points in varsity basketball, a testament to his commitment and scoring ability. These achievements represent not only personal success but also the strength of our athletic programs.

District play has already taken place for some of our teams, with others competing in the coming week as postseason action continues. The highlight of tournament competition so far is Solomon Fisher earning a trip to the State Wrestling Finals at Ford Field. Competing on that stage is a tremendous honor, and our entire school community is proud of his accomplishment. We wish all of our athletes the very best as they finish their seasons strong.

Just a reminder that Spring practices will begin in early March.

Go Wildcats!!!!!!
