Get Involved at KMS!
6th Grade Families:
Please see message from Mrs. Miller about your first opportunity to get involved at KMS:
I want to start by introducing myself. I am Jamie Miller, one of the 6th grade math teachers at Kewaskum Middle School, and 6th grade camp coordinator. Our 6th graders will be attending Camp Minikani Sept. 19 - Sept. 20, 2024. I am looking for parents who would be interested and able to chaperone as well as be a cabin leader and stay overnight in a cabin with a group of students. Please complete the survey if you are willing to chaperone and I will be contacting parents come the end of July/beginning of August to get background checks in order. Thanks again for your time and please let me know if you have any questions.

Don't Forget about the Challenge!
Keep your skills sharp this summer! Students will have access to their iReady accounts until mid-August. One of the best ways to keep student skills sharp and avoid the summer slide is to do 15 minutes a day of iReady. This will help set them up for success next school year!
Any student that reaches 1000 minutes of iReady over the summer months will receive a special surprise when they return to school in the Fall!!!
