Thursday Update for Families
May 21, 2020
No Digital Learning Tomorrow for All Students
As a reminder, tomorrow, May 22, there will be no digital learning for all MASD students to allow for professional development to support continued digital learning. Students should use the time to complete any missing or late work.
School breakfasts and lunches will still be available at our Big Bend Elementary, Prairie View Elementary, and Mukwonago High School sites from 10:30 am - 1:30 pm.
Student Materials Pickup and Drop-Off
As we approach the end of the school year, we know that many students still have belongings at school. The district also needs to facilitate a process to collect library books, textbooks, Chromebooks and power supplies, and other items.
Beginning Monday, June 8, each school will host a drop-off/pick-up process. At the elementary schools, this process will involve driving up to the school and will be as contactless as possible. At Park View Middle School and Mukwonago High School, there will be a structured, in-person process for students to return school materials and empty their lockers.
Next week, watch for communication from your child’s school for specific information about the process at their school.
Thank you for your patience as we develop plans keeping our staff and families safety a top priority!

We are planning virtual, remedial offerings for students at all levels. Recommended students will be contacted by their school or teachers.
Also, we are excited to offer Indian Athletic Performance this summer. See below for more information!
Indian Athletic Performance Summer Registration
We are thrilled to announce that Indian Athletic Performance will continue this summer! Beginning June 15 for students currently in Grades 6-11, IAP participants will complete video workout sessions created by our coaches and staff tailored for our student-athletes. If allowed, we will begin in-person IAP training on or about July 1. If not, video sessions will continue until the end of the course on July 16. Students in Grades 8-11 can register through the Infinite Campus portal. Students in Grades 6 & 7 can register using this Google Form.
IAP is a program designed to develop and enhance a student’s explosive power and speed. The training philosophy will include a primary makeup of ground-based techniques. Most student-athletes participate in standup sports. Therefore, the training is developed to initiate exercises where the feet are on the ground. The goal of ground-based training is to improve an individual’s power applied to the ground. Henceforth, during competition a participant’s speed and power will be greater on account of the training principles. Several of the ground-based lifts include the squat, snatch-squat, single-leg squat, deadlift, Romanian deadlift, lunge, good-morning, step-up, box jump, etc. All of these exercises incorporate the necessary recruitment of many muscles and joints. The philosophy is not the isolation of muscles, but incorporation of many muscles. Not only do ground-based lifts train muscles and improve power, but ground-based lifts also improve athleticism. Flexibility, balance, injury-prevention, strength, speed, and power are all characteristics that will be improved in Indian Athletic Performance. Kettlebell Training is also implemented in order to coach and foster movements. Students will also learn proper sprinting mechanics, change of direction techniques, and rhythmic exercises designed to increase raw speed.
