CAMPUS COMMUNICATOR

Starting this week, students will have opportunities to showcase the learning and growth that has taken place over the first semester of the school year. Winter assessments specifically target the areas of reading and math. Due to the new Act 20 law specific to The Science of Reading, KMSD has moved away from Fastbridge for these assessments and are now using Aimsweb+ for these assessments. These changes will be subtle for our students. Family reports will be shared out early February. Here are a few ways for families to help their student(s) perform their best

- Get a good nights sleep

- Eat a healthy breakfast 

- Encourage your student to take their time and do their best

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.

Wales / Explore Family Fun Night Needs You!

Our Family Fun Night carnival is our largest fundraiser of the year.  Occurring on Friday, May 16, 2025. it brings together the entire campus for an exciting night of carnival games, bounce houses, a cake walk, silent auction & raffles, food and controlled chaos!  The folks that have organized this event for the past few years are aging out, and so we need the next generation of parents to step up and take over the planning.

We currently do not have enough volunteers to hold this event.  If continuing this tradition is important to your or your children, please volunteer.

With a committee of 8-10 volunteers, the event is easily broken down into manageable areas of responsibility.  Please contact Kristin McLean (kristin.mclean@outlook.com) by January 24th if you are interested in getting involved or have any questions.  Last year’s organizers are willing to knowledge share and support this year’s planning committee, but without new volunteers to lead the way, this event will not happen.

Stay in touch with Wales and Explore PTO! Email us at ptowales@gmail.com or join our group on Facebook.

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.
