Coronavirus Update for Families
March 18, 2020
Thank you for your flexibility and patience as we roll out the beginning of our Digital Learning Days and further respond to this rapidly changing situation. We will continue to look for ways to streamline communications and learning to provide what’s best for our students and families. We realize this process might be overwhelming and messy as we begin, but please know that we are learning constantly and will make improvements to our processes throughout!
On Monday, we sent an email to families answering many of the frequently asked questions we have received.
Yesterday, we sent an email to families providing an update on our Digital Learning Days plans along with some informational updates.

Pertussis at Mukwonago High School
Today, we were notified by the Waukesha County Health Department of an additional case of pertussis (whooping cough) at Mukwonago High School. If your child develops a cough that lasts more than one week, a long series of coughing that makes it difficult to catch their breath, or coughing fits that are followed by a whooping noise or vomiting, please contact your child’s physician.
Families without devices or Internet access
Also beginning Monday, March 20, K-6 students or families needing Chromebooks and charging cords will need to request those devices from the MASD district office. Please call 262.363.6300 to schedule a time to pick up a device. We are still limiting devices to one per family at this time.
Families who do not otherwise have Internet access and need wifi hotspots can continue to request those devices by calling the MASD district office at 262.363.6300. Priority is given to families who receive free or reduced-price lunches. Hotspots are limited to one per family.
