Parent - Teacher Conference Survey Results
Thank you to all the families that completed the Parent-Teacher Conference survey. We have had 122 responses. Your feedback is appreciated! Our next step is to analyze responses to find trends and plan for Parent-Teacher Conferences in the spring. We will share more about trends from the comments sections in a later newsletter.
Here are the results of the survey (scored on a 5 point scale).
"Rate your overall experience with scheduling conferences for your child." 4.20
"Rate your overall experience on conference night." 4.22
Since we do not have any baseline results from the previous conference format, this data will serve as our starting point. Our goal will be to improve these results in the spring.
With Gratitude,
Ms. Rydzewski & Mr. Krupar

Student Council's Dress Up Day for Halloween
Students interested in dressing up in costumes at school on Thursday, October 31st can bring $1 or a non-perishable food item to school to support the Muskego Food Pantry.
The Muskego Food Pantry is currently in need of: Peanut butter, Jello, Stuffing mix, Canned pumpkin, Canned cranberries, Applesauce, Peas, Cake mix, & Frosting.
Our guidelines for costumes are as follows:
Students should reach out to their homeroom teacher if concerned about a costume being appropriate prior to Halloween.
All costume preparations are to be completed at home. (No dressing or applying of makeup or colored hairspray once students arrive at school.)
No masks are to be worn during the school day.
No costumes that promote the use of illegal substances or activities, or are derogatory, violent or disrespectful will be allowed.
Any accessory that is used improperly or is considered inappropriate for school will be turned in and you will be able to collect it at the end of the day.
School rules regarding the dress code must be followed with the exception of hats. Hats may be worn.
Students wearing inappropriate costumes will be asked to call home (in the classroom) for a change of clothes or will be asked to change into their phy.ed clothes by the classroom teacher.
