Library Book Return
All ML library books are due next week. Books can be dropped off in the main entrance of Muskego Lakes on Tuesday from 7:30 - 3:00pm. Please return books in the marked bin or cart during book pick up. Emails for overdue library books were sent out this week.
Summer Learning Academy Update
Muskego-Norway Schools is pleased to announce that the 2020 Summer Learning Academy will have both in-person and virtual instruction!
In-person opportunities for Summer Learning Academy at Bay Lane Elementary School will begin Monday, July 6 and run through Thursday, July 30 (No Friday classes), which is a change from the previously planned SLA dates. In-person offerings will follow social distancing and other health department guidelines aligned with recommendations from the CDC and state and local health authorities.
In addition, we will also be offering a number of summer courses via virtual/distance learning, should students and families prefer that option.
Due to the change in dates for SLA as well as revisions in programming and course offerings, there will be a new registration process which interested students and families must complete, even if you had previously registered during the March registration window. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Online SLA registration, via Infinite Campus, will open Monday, June 1 at 8:00am and close Friday, June 5 at 4:00pm.

8th Grade Promotion Ceremony
In lieu of a ceremony, we have been working closely with our MLMS PTO. On Thursday, June 11th, we will have a drive-by opportunity between 3-6pm for our 8th graders and their families. At this time, while students will need to stay in their vehicles, they will receive their 8th grade promotion certificate, their yearbook, a QR code to a special video, and a little something from the PTO.
We will send further details as we get closer to June 11th so stay tuned.
Yearbook Update
Attention 8th Grade Families: Warriors 101 Transition Program
Each year, the Warriors 101 transition program helps support incoming freshmen by facilitating opportunities for them to meet upperclassmen, run through their class schedule, meet their teachers, tour the building, bond with peers, and learn about co-curricular opportunities at the high school. The program is planned for Wednesday, August 26th from 8am-12pm. If the current situation prevents an in-person program, there will be an alternate virtual offering. Please click here to complete registration for your student so you are kept up-to-date with program plans.
We look forward to helping your son/daughter have a smooth transition to the high school. If you have already registered, you do not need to sign up again.
Thank you for your support. We found last year's program to be a great success, and we have been working throughout this year to make further improvements. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact one of us.
