Message from the Principal
Hello!
Did you know that Teacher Appreciation Week is the first week of May? We are so fortunate to have amazing staff members who keep what's best for kids at the center of all they do. If you have a moment to send a note or email of thanks, please do!
Our Forward Testing is complete for this school year. Thank you for making sure your child(ren) came to school ready to go! As in the past, we will not receive notification of results until the beginning of next school year.
Beginning the first week of May, if you come into our building you will see new flooring in a few areas including our entryway, and STEM Lab. We are so excited for these spaces to be updated and ready for use!
Take Care,
Angie Petersen
Principal

Elementary Transition Update
From Dr. Bazata:
The elementary schools and elementary PTOs continue to develop and plan transition activities this year and over the summer for both i4Learning students moving to KES and KES students moving to FES next year.
April 29 is the last day for anyone to submit a closed offer for the i4Learning building. At the May Board meeting, there will be a presentation outlining the building sale process. Also, there will be a closed session where the Board and their legal counsel will review the offers and have the option to act on an offer, if desired.

- Please contact the office via phone call or email by 3:00 to make changes in regard to how your child(ren) will be getting home that day.

It can sometimes be challenging for parents to know how to support their child's comprehension as they read at home. This handy document provides tips for helping your child read for understanding.

Taking the Mystery Out of Middle School!
Dear 5th Grade Families,
On May 16, KMS will be hosting a community night. Community night is an opportunity for parents to come in and listen to guest speakers on a variety of topics. These topics include: talking to your kids about drugs and alcohol, vaping, trafficking, AP/CAPP courses at KHS, Career Pathways, and many others.
This year we would like to invite all incoming 6th-grade families to attend this evening. We will be hosting a session called, Taking The Mystery Out Of Middle School. During this session, we will answer questions parents have about transitioning their child to middle school.
To help us prepare for the event, please submit questions you would like answered that evening. We look forward to connecting with you on the evening of May 16. More information about the time and location will be coming soon!
Submit questions here.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Skelton
KMS Staff
Summer School Opportunity for Incoming 6th Grade Students
Hello 5th Grade Parents!
My name is Ms. Kelly. I am a teacher at Kewaskum Middle School. I am here to inform you about the summer school class we offer for incoming 6th graders! My class is called, "Jump Into 6th Grade." During this class, we will jump into the basics of middle school and get your child ready for a successful 6th-grade year. We will explore organizational methods, study skills, team building, as well as learning basic skills needed for middle school. Last year's students thought this class was very beneficial- here is what they had to say:
"This class was beneficial to me because it helped my confidence and made me less nervous and showed me around the school." -Penelope
"After this class, I knew how to open a lock before school started, I knew how to properly write an email, and I knew how to control my time." -Beckett
"You should take it because it helps you stay organized and clean. If you take it you learn how to take notes." -Joel
"I relearned how to use google classroom, met some new people, and learned how to plan for myself." - Sophia
"One I met new friends. Two it helped us open locks. Three we learned our way around the school." -Eli
I hope to see your incoming 6th grade there!
**This is different than Jump to the Middle. Jump to the Middle is a one-day event that is offered in August for incoming 6th graders. Attending both of these opportunities is the best way to prepare your child for middle school!
