KHS May Newsletter

The mission of Kewaskum High School is to inspire students to become empathetic, hardworking, service-minded young adults who will be positioned to excel beyond high school.

The vision of Kewaskum High School is to become the model high school for job-force driven programming and universal graduate success.

KHS Families:

We hope all of you are well, and look forward to a wonderful close to the 2023-2024 school year.

April has been filled with amazing celebrations at KHS. Our forensics team brought home an impressive array of awards from the state meet, our Perspectives crew put together an amazing publication, and our spring sports are hitting full stride at the mid point of our season. Best of luck also goes out to our State Solo and Ensemble participants... they'll be competing at UW-Milwaukee this weekend.

AP testing will take place the weeks of May 6-May 17. Good luck to all of our students as they seek to earn post secondary credits.

Be sure to check out the highlighted events in the calendar section below. Many culminating events and honors are on the horizon, and we can't wait to share in the celebration with our students and families.

Please follow our announcements, webpage, and district Facebook page for all of our happenings and celebrations. Thank you for your support and participation in all of the great things happening at KHS!

Be well,

Scott Stier - KHS Principal

Yearbooks have been printed and are ready to ship for dispersal at the end of May. Given recent events regarding an individual who previously worked in our building, we felt it necessary to place new photos in the form of stickers over several pictures in the book. We have been assured by Jostens that the stickers will have a professional appearance, but wanted to give everyone advanced notice as to the rationale for the stickers.

Keeping our passwords private and our accounts secure is of utmost importance to us. Therefore, all current 5th grade and 8th grade student passwords will be changing on July 8th. This change is necessary as 6th grade and 9th grade students have increased password security requirements.

In late June, an email will be sent out to student email accounts containing their new password. We kindly ask that you remind your child to write it down in a safe place for future reference. Once the password changes are made, your child will not be able to use their current password to access their accounts.

We are happy to announce that Officer Aaron Roth has joined the Kewaskum School District as our new School Resource Officer full time - effective Monday, April 22. Following a thorough interview process in March, Officer Roth was selected to become our SRO beginning with the 2024-2025 school year. Recent events have accelerated the timeline for his start.
