Mill Valley Weekly
November 14th, 2024

Hello Mill Valley Families,
On Monday, we celebrated and honored Veterans for their patriotism, love of country and willingness to serve and sacrifice for our country. We proudly display our Wall of Honor in the front hallway of Mill Valley. Students and staff have sent in photos of their grandparents, moms, dads, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins and any other family members or friends that have served our country. Thank you to all who have served!
Sincerely,
Allyce Harris, Principal
Julie Hetzel, Associate Principal

November in the Art Room
2024-25 Family Communication Plan
This year, classroom teachers will be teaching with two new resources! This will be an adjustment for staff, students, and parents/caregivers. We want to be sure to offer multiple opportunities to keep families engaged and learning alongside our staff and students.
Each month, there will be a short (less than 5 minutes) recorded presentation shared with you that answers a focus question. The videos will cover various curriculum topics. Please see the outline below. These videos will be linked in school newsletters and posted on the Muskego-Norway Teaching and Learning website.
The November topic is grading and reporting. Elementary reports and companion documents will be printed and sent home with students in December.
If you have questions/topics you would like addressed, please submit them using the Google Form linked HERE.
Lost & Found, Unclaimed items will be donated over Thanksgiving Break
