Mill Valley Weekly

As our school year comes to an end, I want to give a BIG thank you to everyone! We had so much fun learning and growing together this year. We hope you all have a safe and super relaxing summer vacation!

Keep an eye on your email in early August. We'll send you a special "Welcome Letter" telling you who your child's teacher will be, and a link to sign up for Student Summit on Wednesday, August 27th. It's going to be a great way to start the new school year!

In Partnership,

Allyce & Julie

Your Principals

P.S. Watch for your next Mill Valley Weekly mid July (Summer Edition)

with important dates and reminders.

We have so much to celebrate as this year comes to an end! A special thanks to all of our Mill Valley staff for their diligence in teaching and reinforcing expected behaviors at school, and for your continued support at home to reinforce our expectations of being respectful, responsible, and kind. Here are some highlights from this year!

In our population of 427 students this year,

- 87.3% of students received 0 to 1 behavioral referral(s)

- 10.8% of students received 2 to 5 behavioral referrals

- 1.9% of students received 6+ behavioral referrals

This is data we’re excited to see, as it shows that many of our students either have no behavioral incidents this year, or they had just one- meaning it was an isolated incident and the student learned what they needed to do/change going forward from the incident. This is an increase in the percentage of students with only 0-1 behavior incidents compared to last year (84.5%). In addition, we had a 21% decrease in the total number of behavior incidents that occurred this year, which is another reason to celebrate!

This year, students at Mill Valley earned a collective 16,188 Paw Prints! Our 4th graders led the pack, earning 8,632 Paw Prints. Wow!!

Kindergarten = 1,662 Paw Prints

1st Grade = 2,088 Paw Prints

2nd Grade = 1,892 Paw Prints

3rd Grade = 1,914 Paw Prints

We continued to celebrate positive behavior monthly at our Golden Awards assembly. We celebrated monthly winners from Music, Art, Library, Phy Ed, attendance, recess, lunch, bus, recycling, and classroom cleanliness. Our top winners this year were…

Miss Hoerig’s 1st Grade Class- 8 Golden Awards

Mrs. Schaefer’s 4th Grade Class- 8 Golden Awards

Mrs. Kutz’s 3rd Grade Class- 6 Golden Awards

Mrs. Bronstad’s 4th Grade Class- 5 Golden Awards

Our buddy classes met monthly to continue fostering positive relationships, building a sense of community, and supporting the social and academic development of our students. They completed many activities together, including showing gratitude around Thanksgiving time, spreading holiday cheer to local nursing homes, working with our One Book, One School book (Because of the Rabbit), and celebrating friendship.

New this year, we recognized positive behavior at recess with our “Recess Royalty” honorees. Our recess Educational Assistants were on the lookout all year for students who went above and beyond at recess to show respect, kindness, and responsibility. Students were celebrated with a certificate, a shoutout on the morning announcements, and a tag for their locker.

Mill Valley's Community Garden is in need of volunteers to harvest and care for the garden over the summer. Please SIGN UP HERE for a week in which you and your family would like to harvest and bring the veggies to the Muskego Food Pantry. The date posted is the first day of the week for harvesting. Depending upon the date, you may have to harvest more than once a week. More detailed information will be sent once signed up. Please include an email where you can be reached.

Students and parents will be able to walk through their child’s schedule and locate their classrooms. You can also sign up for transportation drop off and pick up if you haven't done so already. The office will also be open to pay fees and answer any questions you may have.

If you haven't done so already, we kindly ask ALL parents to activate their guardian accounts for NextPath.
