KM4K FAIR JANUARY 15TH FROM 5-7 PM AT DOUSMAN ELEMENTARY!!! RSVP NOW https://forms.gle/pj1GcrsaHx4YVrVTA!!! Learn more about four-year-old kindergarten in the Kettle Moraine School District!

This annual event is fun and informative for young learners and their families. Kettle Moraine’s 4K program strives to build a strong foundation for lifelong learning! Providing this programming to our community is an integral way to connect our youngest learners and families to our school district and prepare them for Kindergarten.

The open house format features booths from each of our elementary sites and wrap-around care partners, allowing you to find the right option for your family. To learn more about KM4K, visit https://www.kmsd.edu/o/kmsd/page/about-km4k, or contact our 4K Director, Justin Nies, at niesjustin@kmsd.edu

In the beginning of the year we asked for your help filling our "extra snack" buckets for kids that need snacks as well as the kids who just forget their snacks once in a while. We also asked you to help us give teachers a treat once in a while by sending some snacks just for them.

You all answered our call in a big way! Those snacks have lasted until now and we are now at a point that we need a refresh. If you were looking for a quick, easy way to support your school THIS IS THE WAY TO DO IT! Click on the Amazon Links below and send some snacks our way.

We are entering our student's FINAL semester of elementary school! (Who's crying!?) We would love to send our students off to middle school as prepared and celebrated as possible. Here are a few things you should know about -

• There are some dates coming up at the Middle School to help with the 5th grade transition into the Middle School. Read all about them here.
  

• T-shirt sizes are needed! Please make sure your 5th grader knows what their t-shirt size is. The PTO provides t-shirts for all of our outgoing 5th graders.

  
  

• Baby pictures needed! You can email them to Mrs. Schultz at schultzr@kmsd.edu OR upload them directly to the treering website. Here are the directions. These pictures will be used for our 5th Grade "moving on" ceremony at the end of the year as well as put in the yearbook. Here are a few guidelines to use -

  • Child should be younger than 4 years old

  • Only 1 person in the image

  • ideally, a vertical portrait photo orientation (not landscape)

  • Good lighting on the face so it's not too dark

The 2025-2026 school year calendar has been created and posted for all to view on our district website. You can find it here.

In accordance with our student handbook, families MUST OPT IN to school directories. If you would like your student's info to be available to other students for play dates, birthday invitations, etc, you must fill out the form below. Please fill out one form per child. 

If you would like access to the collected information, you must email your classroom teacher or Mrs. Schultz at schultzr@kmsd.edu and ask for the directory, as it cannot be published on any public sites. The spreadsheet you will receive is a live document and will be updated as parents fill out the form.

Once again, you MUST fill out this form for Wales or this form for Explore in order to be included in the directory.

After it is completed, email Mrs. Schultz or your classroom teacher to ask for a copy of the directory.

Thank you for your understanding in helping to keep our families' information as secure as possible.
