Hello KMMS families,

KMMS had an awesome first week of school. We were so happy to have our students back and are impressed by how quickly they have learned new schedules and are working on developing new routines. 

This has been a new year with many changes. We are celebrating a more unified KM, with all students having grade-level lunches together and electives together. Ms. Rychlak, 8th-grade teacher, commented yesterday to me how the 8th-grade Inspire students have been incredibly helpful to one another. “How do I turn this in on Canvas?” and other questions are being answered by fellow students, who are sharing their past experiences to help one another. 

Our student population is one of the biggest reasons why KM is so special. Our students care about their education, they are helpful to one another, and they have incredibly supportive and engaged parents.

Thank you for all of your support to kick off a new school year,

Matt Kitzerow
KMMS Principal

We are so thrilled to have our students and staff back in the building! Check out some of our candid photos from the last week.

The MS Music Team put together a great afternoon of music programming for our 6th grade students. The event captured the enthusiasm the students have toward learning an instrument and participating in our robust music programming! Students spent time with professional coaches, KMSD Music staff, and WEB Leader musicians to be supported in making the first sounds on their new instruments. Thank you to all who made the afternoon a great success!

Kettle Moraine Middle School is a proud partner of a non-profit organization called Blessings in a Backpack. Through this partnership, your child is eligible to be a recipient of the Blessings in a Backpack program. This program is currently in all of the Kettle Moraine Elementary schools.  

The program is designed to provide non-perishable food every Friday to children that would benefit from supplemental nourishment over the weekend. The program runs the full school year and there is no cost to participate. If you choose to participate, your child will receive a bag of non-perishable food every Friday which will be distributed in a discreet and caring manner. This will begin Friday, September 20th. 

If you would like your student(s) to participate, please complete this form.

KMMS staff is building a SUMMER MEMORIES bulletin board in the commons. Would you like to add a summer memory for your student? Click here to add a photo to our family photo back.

Students - Whether you are walking home, getting picked up or riding your bike, ALWAYS cross at the marked crosswalk. This is where adults are stationed to help you cross Ottawa Ave safely.  Please remember to also use the sidewalk after you have crossed the street.

Drivers - Please use the entrance behind KMMS to enter for drop off and pick up. See the graphic below. Buses begin entering our front parking lot shortly after 7am in the morning for drop off and around 2:15pm (M,T,W,F) or 1:30pm (Thursdays) for pick up.

Please remind your student to use the crosswalk and sidewalks. Please be alert and watch for pedestrians and stop for people in crosswalks.

Thanks for working together to make our community safer.
