CAMPUS DAILY ANNOUNCEMENTS

A special thank you to Mirannda, Bethany, Brody, and Edith the leaders of our "Saturday Night Lasers" KMHS' original sketch comedy show for joining Mr. Bestor for announcements. 

Students will have three advisory lessons dedicated to course registration planning: January 26, 29, and February 2. Please use this link to review resources to help prepare for course selection. 

Course Information Night | Monday, 2.5.24 | 5:30-7:30 pm | KMHS 

The Course Information Night schedule is as follows:

• Auditorium Presentation (general course registration information) 5:30-6:00 pm

• KMHS Course Information Fair (Department representatives are available) 5:30-7:30 pm

• Course Selection Registration Assistance (Library Media Center) - 5:30-7:30 pm

NOTE: Students are not required to attend Course Information Night to register for courses.

The Infinite Campus course registration portal window: 

• Opens 8:00 am on Monday, February 5 

• Closes 3:00 pm on Friday, February 16

Course selections are processed equally once the course registration window closes, not in the order in which they are received. Making accurate course selections is very important, as it has a significant impact on which courses run, how many sections of each course are created, class sizes, and overall staffing. With that in mind, any requests for course changes cannot be guaranteed.

New Courses! Each day until February 9th, we will share information on new courses being offered by department.

Students will become proficient in essential business software applications, including word processing, presentation, and spreadsheets, specifically Microsoft Office. Students can earn industry Certification from the Microsoft Office Specialist Certification.

Congratulations to FTC Robotics Team “Laser Tech” on its victory last weekend at the “Frozen Frenzy” Qualifier in Saint Francis, WI. Laser Tech is now qualified to compete at the State Championship competition at Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) on March 2. This will be Laser Tech’s fifth consecutive year competing at the State competition!

Inspired by the well-known late-night television show Saturday Night Live, KM Drama Club takes the stage on January 27 @ 7 pm with a great show for the whole KM Community.

A fully student-written and produced show, organized by KM Drama Club and student directors Edith Cramer and Mirannda Kepplinger.

Tickets are available at the door for $5 OR a donation of non-perishable food items/hygiene items for the Kettle Moraine Food Pantry.

Sign up for the Drama Club Advisory in IC or contact Ms. Kean. Come to hear about how to qualify for the International Thespian Honor Society AND attending the International Thespian Festival (ITF) in June. ITF is the premier high school theater event in the US, a week of performances, workshops, and fun with students and professionals from across the country!  

KM is honored to have national qualifiers for the third consecutive year, but any KM theater student is welcome.

We will be promoting this in conjunction with the DockHounds next month but wanted to give our KM Community advance options to purchase tickets.

KM Day at the DockHounds will be May 22, 2024, at 6:35 pm. Join us as the Lake Country DockHounds take on the Milwaukee Milkmen at WBC Park. This will be a fun night to celebrate with your KM Community, show your support, and watch a great game against Milwaukee!

For every ticket sold, $3 will be donated back to the district. As an extra incentive, KM, Arrowhead, and Oconomowoc will be competing for an additional $1/ticket by selling the most tickets through the link below for their respective night.

The Navy team placed first with their top 8 northern measuring 244 inches. The Gold team finished fifth with 223 inches for their 8 fish. The team caught multiple walleye as well, including a tournament winning 26 inch fish.

All of our members new to ice fishing caught their very first northern pike, making it an enjoyable day.
