Key News for Thursday, August 1, 2019
Parent/Student Portal Now Open
The Infinite Campus parent and student portals will open Thursday, August 1, at 5:00pm for all families to begin viewing schedules and homeroom assignments.
High school students requesting schedule changes should email their school counselor directly. MHS asks that students and parents are patient with their requests as counselors do their best to make the requested changes by the end of August and the first day of school.
Please note that student portal accounts may be temporarily disabled while the new school year conversion is taking place. Thank you for your patience.
MASD Welcomes Administrators to New Roles
MASD is pleased to welcome administrators to new roles for the 2019-20 school year. Stephanie Blue begins as the new Director of Student Learning after leading Prairie View Elementary for three years.
Taking over for Stephanie at Prairie View will be Valerie Vos, who served as the principal at Eagleville Elementary Charter School and literacy coach at Prairie View Elementary in 2018-19.
Sarah Dianich will serve as principal of Eagleville Elementary Charter School this year in addition to her responsibilities as dean of students for Mukwonago High School.
We are thrilled to have talented administrators on staff to provide smooth transitions at each of our schools.
New Volunteer Application Process Begins This Year
Beginning this year, MASD will use a new online volunteer application process to provide for the safety and well-being of our students. Background checks must be conducted prior to an individual’s first volunteer assignment in a school.
Those interested in volunteering must complete their online volunteer application no later than five school days prior to the first assignment. Once approved, applications remain active for two years and are good for any school in our district.
RevTrak Fees Waived
Parents can pay student fees as well as add money to their child’s lunch account online from a home/work computer or mobile device, any time of the day. It will take just a few minutes to make an online payment using a VISA, MasterCard, or Discover Credit Card, A Debit Card, or via eCheck (a service fee is applied to your payment at checkout).
Click here to make payments at our RevTrak portal.
Once again the district will have a grace period waiving the RevTrak fee assessed to parents for online payments for 2019-20 registration. The grace period (waiver of the fee assessed) will be for online payments made now through Friday, September 6 (11:59 PM).
2019-20 Incoming Freshman Device Requirement
Mukwonago Area School District is committed to implementing a 1:1 device environment to support and encourage collaborative teaching and learning and enhance the educational process. As such, students attending MHS are required to bring a mobile device to school. To assist families with this initiative, we are proud to offer the Technology Partnership Program (TPP) in which the district shares the cost of a device with families. Participating students receive a Chromebook for use at home and school and after four annual payments, ownership of the device is transferred to the family.
Advantages of the TPP program:
- Four annual installments of $50 are automatically billed
- Internet content filtering enabled at home and school
- Monitoring enabled at home and school
- Managed by the district
- Qualifies as an online state-testing device
- Full four-year accidental warranty (deductibles may apply)
- Fully supported by the I.T. Services MHS student help desk (S.H.I.E.L.D.)
- Device ownership transferred to the family after the fourth and final payment (senior year)
There is no need to reserve a device in advance! Simply attend anytime between 12:00 noon to 8:00 pm on either Thursday, August 15th or Thursday, August 20th. Can't make it either day? Contact the Help Desk to schedule a time convenient for you!
