This means that students who live outside of the Mukwonago Area School district may apply to attend Mukwonago schools and students who live in the Mukwonago district may apply to enroll in other districts. Districts will set criteria for acceptance based on space available, disciplinary records, educational needs, and requests of resident students to attend other schools within the district. Part time enrollment is limited to high school students who may take up to two courses at a high school. Criteria for granting part-time requests will include the cost to the home district. Transportation for either full-time or part-time enrollment is the responsibility of the parent. Parents seeking enrollment under this law for the 2015-16 school year must submit an application to the non-resident district between February 2 - April 30, 2015. Late applications will not be accepted for any reason. Applications must be completed on-line at http://sms.dpi.wi.gov/sms_psctoc Copies of the school district policy for open enrollment are also available. Questions about the open enrollment law should be directed to Laura Stroika at the Superintendent’s Office at 363-6300, ext. 24101. ************************************************************************************************************ INTRA-DISTRICT TRANSFER REQUESTS Elementary schools will start accepting intra-district transfer requests on January 1st. Intra-district transfers are requests for a district resident student to attend a Mukwonago Area School District elementary school outside his or her attendance area. Parents desiring a transfer for their son or daughter must complete a form and submit to the building principal of their current home school. Home school principals will notify the requested school of transfer papers. Transportation to attend a school outside of the home area is the responsibility of the parent. Students who are already attending a school as an intra-district transfer do not need to re-apply, however, new family members would need to do so. Written transfer requests for the next school year are to be filed between January 1st and May 1st. Parents will be informed of the decision by June 1st. If there are more requests than seats, students will be selected on a lottery basis. See School Board Policy IEB for the full set of criteria governing intra-district transfers. EARLY ENTRANCE The Mukwonago School District is accepting applications for early entrance to Kindergarten through March 1, 2015. Early Entrance eligibility evaluations will be conducted for children who are not five years old by September 1st only if the child will be five years of age by October 1, 2015. To be eligible for early admission to Kindergarten, the child must be age five by October 1, 2015, and meet criteria set by the District in the areas of social-emotional, academic and intellectual levels. More information can be found on the district website, www.MASD.k12.wi.us, in Board Policy JBCCB. To apply, parents must send a letter of request stating the child's name, date of birth, parent name, address and phone number to Mukwonago Area School District, Pupil Services Department, Attn: Laura Stroika, 385 County Road NN East, Mukwonago, WI 53149. 262-363-6300 x 24101 ************************************************************************************************************ School Counselor’s Note Losing a loved one can be extremely hard for individuals of any age. Below are a few ways you as parents can support your children through this difficult time. Understand that children cope with death differently and may have a range of reactions (including emotional shock, regression, acting out and explosive emotions, and questioning) depending on their developmental level. Answer your child's questions and help them understand what happened with truthful, developmentally appropriate responses. Allow children to grieve and tell their story, listen and validate their feelings, and show extra love and care. Listening is one of the most important things an adult can do for a grieving child. Children may want to share their story, their perspective on what happened, explain how they feel and how they experienced the news. Talking through their thoughts and feelings is a healing experience for children. Here are some suggestions for being a good listener to a grieving child: Don’t give advice or pass judgments Reflect back what the child says using the child’s words Paraphrase the child’s words to show understanding Ask clarifying questions Understand that grief is a process and allow it to happen naturally for the child. Be aware of your own need to grieve as a parent; adults who get help working through their grief are much more able to help their child through the grieving process. Do answer the child’s question, even if they are tough. Do try and maintain consistency of routines and expectations as much as possible. Don’t force kids to talk, but do encourage them to express themselves through play, art, writing, and movement.
