Professional Development Day - No Students in Attendance

Dear Lake Denoon Families,

The 2nd quarter began last week. It is a good time for students to reflect on the 1st quarter and plan for the quarter ahead. Here are some questions you could ask your child:

• What went well in the 1st quarter?
• What is something you would like to improve on in the 2nd quarter?
• What is your plan for improvement?
• What resources do you think you would need?
• Who do you think would be able to support you?

When students play an active role in their education, they take greater ownership, achieve at higher levels and develop skills that will support their development in high school and beyond. We appreciate your partnership and look forward to the work ahead!

In partnership,

Chad Krupar, Principal & John McEwing, Associate Principal

Lake Denoon Middle School is collecting cereal through November 20 to support the Muskego Food Pantry this Thanksgiving!

Last year, our students collected 350 boxes and created an incredible cereal domino run through the school hallways. This year, we're going BIGGER with a goal of 400 boxes!

Every box helps make our domino run longer AND makes a difference for local families.

TWO EASY WAYS TO GIVE:

• Bring a box (or two!) of cereal to school with your student.

• Shop our Amazon Wish List and have cereal shipped directly to Lake Denoon Middle School!

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/20N2HBE45NW3T

IMPORTANT: Amazon orders must arrive by November 20 to be included in the domino run! Please select Lake Denoon Middle School's Wish List shipping address at checkout.

Let's show our students the power of giving back and what our community can accomplish together!

Small Boxes= Big Impact.

Thank you for your support!

As we continue through the school year, student safety remains our highest priority - and we need your help to keep our kids safe at bus stops across our community.

We are issuing an urgent reminder regarding state traffic laws around school buses:

• Yellow Flashing Lights: When a school bus activates yellow flashing lights, it indicates the bus is preparing to stop to load or unload children. Drivers are required by law to slow down and prepare to stop.

• Red Flashing Lights & Extended Stop Arm: When the red lights are flashing and the stop sign is extended, traffic in both directions (unless separated by a physical median) must come to a complete stop. You must remain stopped until the red lights turn off and the stop arm retracts.

Passing a stopped school bus is not only extremely dangerous to our students, but it is also illegal.

Please be aware that our drivers actively document drivers who bypass flashing lights, and our local Police Department is aggressively following up on these reports. Violations will be reported and investigated. Violators may receive law enforcement visits and costly citations.

Please give yourself extra time during morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up hours, stay alert, and eliminate distractions while driving. Let’s work together to make sure every child gets to and from school safely.

Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to student safety.

Honor your beloved veteran by placing their name and picture on our Veterans Day Honor Wall.

Please complete THIS form, and get it back to your homeroom teacher before the deadline, which is Nov. 11th. Please note all photos submitted will be returned.

Looking for something FUN to do on Saturday mornings? LDMS will be hosting Open Gym November 7th from 8-11AM( have ride at 11AM SHARP). Please donate 2 canned good or non-perishable items to benefit our local food pantry. Enter at the Park and Rec doors in the back of the gym.

Future Open Gym Dates:

This message comes from our 2026-27 NJHS Chapter. We’re thrilled to announce our upcoming Battle of the Bills Fundraiser, which will run from November 2nd through November 19th!

This year, all proceeds will go to St. Jude, an organization dedicated to providing money donations for cancer research and families affected by it. To participate, simply donate your spare change—bills or coins—to the Ziploc bag in your homeroom during passing time or resource.

The homeroom in each grade that raises the most money will win a prize of a themed basket!

Thank you for your generosity and support in helping us raise money for cancer research and families affected by it!

Chromebooks should be brought to school fully charged daily. There is a limited supply of loaners for students whose devices are under repair. In the event that a student's Chromebook is left at home or brought to school uncharged, a loaner may be available for his/her use during the school day; however, repeated incidents or violations may result in loss of privileges. If your student travels between multiple households, it may be beneficial to purchase a second charger. They can be purchased from the Library Media Center.

As a reminder, per our district policy (Administration of Medications ag5330), if your child requires prescription medication during school hours, please follow our school medication policy:

• A parent or guardian must bring all medications directly to the school health office or staff. Students are not allowed to transport medications to or from school themselves.

• All medications must be in original, pharmacy labeled containers

• Each medication requires a signed doctor’s order before we can administer it.

Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our students safe!
