The Superintendent Scoop

Welcome to May!!! As we enter the final stretch of the school year, our focus remains on finishing strong—academically, socially, and emotionally. May is always a busy and exciting time, filled with field trips, celebrations, and end-of-year events that highlight the hard work and growth of our students. These opportunities are meaningful, but they also require us to stay committed to maintaining high expectations in the classroom. By staying engaged, supporting one another, and keeping routines consistent, we can ensure a positive and productive close to the year for all students.

We also want to remind our community that on the May 5 ballot, there will be a renewal for our non-homestead operating millage. This renewal is critical to maintaining the financial stability of our district and continuing to provide quality educational opportunities for our students. It is not a tax increase, but rather a continuation of existing support. We appreciate your ongoing partnership and encourage everyone to stay informed as we work together to finish the year strong and plan for continued success ahead.

MCS Community Resources

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.

May 5th Non Homestead Renewal

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

Portrait of a Learner March 18th

Portrait of Wildcat!!!

We are excited to share that we have officially developed our Portrait of a Wildcat! This important work reflects the collective vision, values, and aspirations we have for our students. It represents the skills, character traits, and mindset we want every Wildcat to carry with them as they move forward. This is just the beginning, and we will continue working together to bring this vision to life in meaningful and impactful ways throughout our district.

Thank you to everyone who contributed their time, ideas, and feedback in building this portrait. Your input was invaluable, and it truly reflects the strength of our school community. As we move forward, we will focus on putting this plan into action and ensuring it becomes a living part of our daily work with students. Together, we are shaping the future of our Wildcats.

Graduation Date: Graduation will be on Saturday May 16th at 7PM in the HS Gymnasium.

He taught us all that reading is not something you DO, but somewhere you GO and that the covers of books are doors to adventure!
