Forward Exam
This spring all public school students in grades 3-8 and 10 will once again take the Wisconsin state assessment, the Forward Exam. State assessments are required by both State (Wis. Stat. ยง 118.30) and Federal ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act) Law. The state assessment testing window runs between March 18 and April 26, 2024. Each 3rd and 4th grade classroom has a specific testing schedule within that testing window. As it becomes available, testing dates and details will be communicated by your child's teacher.
Kindergarten Registration
It's time to enroll your newest Papermaker for 2024-2025!
Residents in the Kimberly Area School District can now register their newest Papermaker in Kindergarten. If your child is going to be 4 or 5 years old by September 1, 2024, registrations for 4K and 5K can be completed online. Please see the KASD website for additional information. Please note that if your child currently attends the 4K Center for Literacy, there is no need to register them for 5K.
