School News

Young Rembrandts classes in Mequon are typically at capacity, and we are always grateful for additional volunteer support, especially in classes with higher enrollment. Volunteers are a huge help with tasks such as passing out materials, answering questions, and assisting with classroom organization. If you are interested in volunteering, please use the following link. YR already has an established system in place for volunteers, and this is the link we currently use.

Thank you!

Volleyball Tournament Sign Up

Mr. Aidan Fish is hosting a video games club for students after school on Fridays. More information about the club and signing up can be found in the office with Ms. Love. This club provides an opportunity for like-minded students to socialize and share their passions in a multi-grade setting.

In November, the MTSD Board of Education approved the addition of two new middle school Business Education electives, expanding elective opportunities for students beginning next school year. This exciting change is part of a long-term effort to strengthen aligned 7–12 pathways and follows the retirement of Mrs. Karen Ogier, whose dedicated service created a natural moment to reimagine our elective offerings for the future.

The new business courses are modern, hands-on, and project-based, helping students build skills such as leadership, communication, financial literacy, problem-solving, entrepreneurship, and digital creation while exploring career interests. This shift creates a pathway that mirrors other middle school electives and prepares students for success in high school and beyond. Importantly, the 6th grade Personal Finance elective will continue as part of the wheel and will now be taught by our new Business Education teacher, ensuring students still gain critical money-management skills early on.

We’re excited to share that the Summer Academy Course Guide for students in Grades K4–8 is now posted online! Summer Academy features fun, engaging, and enriching courses, all taught by MTSD educators who know and inspire our students.

Registration opens Sunday, February 9 at 9:00 a.m.
