Muskego Lakes Family Newsletter
January 2019
Happy New Year!
Dear Muskego Lakes Families,
We hope everyone enjoyed a joyous, safe holiday season!
In an effort to streamline communication with families, we are moving away from a longer, monthly school newsletter and going to a shorter, weekly newsletter. By providing weekly communication, we will be able to include most information that would have otherwise been sent home in an email - reducing the number of emails you receive from the school. It will also make it easier to find information since it will be in one spot.
We look forward to working with you in 2019!
Respectfully,
Rachel Rydzewski, Principal & Chad Krupar, Associate Principal
2019-2020 Middle School Course Registration
Next week begins our encore course registration selection for next year. Beginning Tuesday, January 8th, Mrs. Hake, our school counselor, will be visiting your child's literacy classroom to review the registration process and distribute materials to be brought home.
Students will register at home with their parents. It's important for all students to know their own login for Infinite Campus, not their parent's login, to complete this process.
The Infinite Campus portal will open for course selection registration on Tuesday, January 8th at 7:00 AM and close on Friday, January 18th at 9:00 AM. Students must also return their course selection sheet, signed by their parent/guardian, no later than January 18th. Course selection sheets will be returned to literacy teachers.
Please see the step by step instructions for this process by clicking on this link.
Thank you and please feel free to contact Mrs. Hake if you have any questions regarding course selection at janine.hake@muskegonorway.org or (262) 971-1860 x5401. If you experience any technical difficulties, our administrative assistants will assist you at (262) 971-1860 x5004.
