Principal's Post

Hello KMMS families, 

Our KMMS families received a message yesterday to sign up for upcoming parent teacher conferences. The message includes instructions to sign up for conferences. 

Conference Dates:

Thursday, 2/13 from 3:30-6:30 pm
Friday, 2/14 from 7:00-10:30 am

These conferences are a great way to partner with teachers to help your child(ren) finish the last half of the school year with accountability and academic excellence. We want to remind families that the “Must-Do/Can-Do” lists are a great resource to help students stay on top of daily assignments and long-term coursework. 

6th Grade Inspire Must Do/Can Do 24/25

7 Inspire 24-25 Must Do/Can Do

8 Inspire Must Do/Can Do

Create Laser Hour Must do/Can do

We hope to see you here in a couple of weeks. Have a wonderful weekend!

Last Week's Dodgeball Assembly

The KMMS student body enjoyed a dodgeball tournament last Friday afternoon. The Inspire 6 team played the Create team. The Inspire 7 team played the Inspire 8 team. The championship game between Inspire 6 and Inspire 8 was a hard fought battle. The Inspire 6 team awarded the Inspire 8 team the "Bragging Rights" Certificate. Thanks to all staff and students who helped to make this a fun, loud and very engaging event. Thank you also to Mr. Hernandez who served as the referee and to the Student Senate for organizing the assembly.

KMMS February Band Concert for Charity

Charity Band Concert

Band Parents and Students!

Our next performance is approaching in a few weeks, so we have a few reminders for our next concert!

February 4th: Students in 3rd and 6th hour Bands along with 6th grade Flutes, Saxophones, Percussion, and Baritones.

February 5th: Students in 4th and 7th hour Bands along with 6th grade Clarinets, Trumpets, and Trombones.

Both concerts will start at 7pm in the large gym at Kettle Moraine Middle School, and students need to arrive at 6:30pm (7th and 8th grade percussion students should arrive at 6:20pm).

Concert Attire: For this performance, all students need to wear our traditional concert black as shown here. Our goal with this is for everyone to wear solid black, and to look as nice as they can. We went over examples with students in class, but please reach out with any questions or clarifications.

Fundraising for a Cause: Our 7th Grade students have chosen HAWS as our charity/non-profit of choice to raise awareness and funds in line with our mission of a “charity concert”. The students have been researching organizations in our area to support and have voted on HAWS as the top charity of choice this year. In line with the mission of using music to support a cause, we are asking families to consider donating to HAWS at the concert. Both cash and online donations will be accepted, and we will have more information about HAWS during the concert. If you are able to, we would love it if you can support the mission!

Please reach out with any questions or concerns, and we look forward to seeing you at the concert!

Traffic Pattern Reminder

Thank you to everyone for your cooperation with following our traffic pattern!

This is a reminder of our traffic pattern that includes the designated locations for dropping off and picking up students during the arrival and dismissal times.  We are asking for your cooperation in following this to avoid students mingling in with the bus traffic patterns.  

Thank you for your help and adherence to this.  

Traffic Patern Graphic

There is a stop sign outside the front entrance of our middle school. The sign is intended to secure safe crossing for student, parent and staff pedestrians. Please be sure to stop at the crossing before proceeding through the parking lot. Thank you!
