Professional Development Day - No Students in Attendance

Today, your child had their second monthly ACP Pathfinders lesson.

If you have a 5th grader, ask them about:

Their first ACP guest speaker, Todd Irvine, Muskego-Norway’s superintendent. What did they learn about working life from our superintendent’s perspective?

ACP Conversation Starter Tip

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!
