'We Are Magee' Celebrations | |
|
As a school team, we take moments each and every day to celebrate each other and our learners. We want to also take the time to celebrate our Magee families and community members. If you, your family, or learners have something they want to celebrate with the whole Magee school community, please send a picture and a description to [email protected] and we will add it to this section of the newsletter.
This week, we are going to celebrate Mr. Eli Darling. He was recognized as one of CBS 58's Everyday Heroes and we couldn't be more proud of Eli, his service to the country, and his dedication to make sure our learners get to school and home safely. Thank you, Eli!
We are excited to see and share other celebrations in our community in the weeks to come!

Weekly Message from Mr. Nies | |

Happy Friday Magee Families:
Each week, I have been sharing details about our school goals and our action steps to reach those goals. This week, I want to start the process of organizing the Magee Parent Advisory as this is an action step for our school goal around - Community Relations and Communication (CR&C). The created goal statement is:
- By the end of the 2022-2023, we will see an increase in positive parent responses to the statements - “I regularly receive feedback from staff on how my child is doing” (62.5% to 80%) and “My child is recognized for good work and behaviors at this school” (from 80% to 85%) as measured by the Kettle Moraine School District - Parent/Guardian Survey.
The Magee Parent Advisory will be facilitated by Principal Nies with occasional attendance/facilitation from our Director of Elementary Education Laura Dahm, while including a diverse, collective group of Magee parents.
As you know, The Kettle Moraine School District is dedicated to a vision of "Learning without Boundaries" with a mission defining student achievement as including Academic Excellence, along with Citizenship and Personal Development. Our approach to reaching all learners is through student-centered personalized learning. The Advisory focus is around a variety of items around learning and life at Magee Elementary School. This is NOT to address other political or controversial issues in education today.
As an Advisory, we will spend our first meeting creating advisory norms, a purpose, a vision, and goals for the school year. If you are interested in participating as a member of the Magee Parent Advisory, please complete this registration form. The Advisory will be limited to 12 members.
- Please note that if you are already contributing as an active Magee PTO Board Member, I ask that you do not participate in the Advisory. We value the voice you share and are grateful for your commitment in that role. We are inviting additional parents to have a voice through this Advisory. Keep in mind, part of my principal update at PTO meetings will be sharing what our Advisory discusses and I will seek your input about those discussions at the PTO meetings, bringing back your feedback to the Advisory.
The registration form will close on Thursday, September 29th, 2022, so I can start organizing our meeting dates and our first meeting in October.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email me or schedule a time to meet with me: Click Here to Schedule a Meeting with Me. Have an amazing weekend!
Take Care and Be Well:

National Custodian Appreciation Day | |
Monday, October 3rd is National Custodian Appreciation Day!
Mr. John Beckmann is our Head Custodian at Magee and he is deemed as the superhero of Magee. He is everywhere supporting staff, students, and families while making Magee and the grounds a beautiful place for us to learn. We want to make this day extra special for him.
