In a couple of weeks, we will officially kick off our Homecoming celebrations! Our KM Students will have a number of events and themes for the week, but we also have some great events for the KM Community:
Friday Sept 29 we will hold a Pep Rally and Chili/Mac Dinner from 4-7 pm. The parade will take place at 5:15, with the football game starting at 7:00!
Please join us as the Lasers prepare for the big game against Waukesha North!
We are formulating a new strategic plan and want input from the KM community to ensure you have a voice in our future. As part of this process, we invite you to join us for a World Cafe to inform our strategic planning process. During this two hour event, you will be answering and discussing district planning with other community members. There will be an in person World Cafe (Saturday 9/23 from 9:00-11:00 am) and a virtual option (Tuesday 9/26 from 6:30-8:30 pm). If you would like to learn more, visit https://www.kmsd.edu/page/spt.

We are expecting a very large turnout for tonight's football game and volleyball tournament and anticipate parking may be a challenge. There will be handicapped parking at KMHS and the large lots on both the North and South sides will be available for football fan parking. Bethlehem Church, across from the stadium on Oak Crest, is also open for football fan parking. A map is included for the walking path to the stadium from this lot. To avoid delays, volleyball traffic should approach campus from main street, taking the back way. We ask that everyone attending the volleyball tournament park at Wales Elementary, unless you are utilizing handicapped parking. We can't wait to see you all at the game and the tournament... GO LASERS!!
TUNE IN! The Varsity Blitz Show (presented by your local Pick n Save stores) will be interviewing Coach McDonnell, along with Drew Wagner, Jonathan Ksobiech, and Noah Hait. The show will air this Saturday from 9-10AM on The Big 920AM or your Iheart radio app.
Good morning and we hope you are enjoying the first week of school! We've made a few changes to our website over the summer that we'd like to share with you. Our new platform combines all of our communication tools into one environment, saving us time and money; making us more efficient; but also, allowing us to utilize a system that works well on mobile devices and provides the features users have come to expect. We realize change takes time, and we'd like to offer a few simple tips to help our KM Community navigate the new site.
We have provided a video tour, at https://vimeo.com/859950194?sh. Remember to re-bookmark your frequently visited pages and add us to your contacts! There is also a mobile app that can be downloaded using the page footer or the links below.
For a quick summary of the navigation, there are two primary drop down menus in the upper right corner of every page. They are "schools" and "menu." Schools will allow you to select a location. Menu will allow you to select information that pertains to that location. The + symbols in the menu reveal additional pages in that category.

The first day of school is always a very big day at the elementary level. This year, district office leadership took a field trip to visit with teachers and students. Our K-5 students were buzzing with excitement and it was wonderful to watch them enjoying all of fun things our teachers had planned.
The first day of school is always an exciting time. This year, the District Office leadership took a field trip to visit with teachers and students. It is always great to get out of the office and into classrooms to share in our students' learning. The high school and middle school students were already delving into subject matter and getting settled into their routines.

The Wales Campus had a Great Start with Mario Kart! New students and incoming 5K students reported today for a half day and the staff did not disappoint! They made it a really fun experience and welcomed families dressed as their favorite Mario Kart characters. The kids were able to meet new friends and get to know their teachers in preparation for the first day of school on September 5th!
Dousman's open house was a great opportunity for parents, students, and staff to reconnect and prepare for the school year. Thank you to all who attended, and to our incredible Dousman staff for participating in this event.
Magee held their back to school bash tonight and families were lined up excitedly to enjoy the fun! There was a bounce house, music by DJ Otto, an ice cream truck, face painting and a number of great raffle baskets. Thank you to the PTO, families, and staff members who participated in this event!
Cushing held their playground grand opening tonight, with well over 150 people in attendance. This accessible and adventurous playground was designed with student input and was only made possible through the hard work of Cushing Staff, PTO, parents, and of course our KMSD maintenance crew who spent many long days this summer installing the equipment and preparing the area. We are so proud of what has been accomplished and want to thank our KM Community for their donations and support as we developed this incredible project!
KMMS Orientation took place last night and it was a huge hit with families and students alike. This year, students received their locks in advance to get used to them prior to the big day. This made for a very smooth transition as families were able to avoid the lines, visit, drop off supplies, and explore the school. Special thanks to the middle school staff who attended this event!
The KMHS parking lot is a lot more colorful! Students were allowed to paint their parking spots this year, and it resulted in some very fun and funny designs... like "If you can read this, I am late for school!" Let's give the kids a hand for their creativity!
