Message from the Principal
Dear High School Families,
I hope this message finds you well as we navigate through the dog days of winter. While this season often brings its challenges, we look forward to the second half of the school year.
At Kewaskum High School, we are focused on ensuring that every student is ready to reach their full potential, particularly as we look ahead to the ACT. This milestone is an important part of our students' academic journey, and I’m proud to share that our ACT preparation efforts are well underway. From targeted lessons and practice tests to one-on-one support, we are providing our students with the tools and strategies they need to succeed.
As a school, we are also preparing for continued growth this spring. Whether it’s through academic achievement, extracurricular engagement, or fostering a positive and inclusive school culture, we are committed to helping each student thrive. We are excited about what’s to come and look forward to celebrating many successes together as a community.
Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership. Together, we can make this a season of perseverance and progress. If you have any questions about ACT prep or our plans for the spring, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Stay warm and take care.
Kevin Bryant
High School Principal

Improving Morning Drop Off
Dear Parents/Guardians,
We are improving our drop-off process to continue and make our campus as safe as possible. Below, you will find a couple of reminders and procedures that we are changing. I have also included a map of what the traffic flow should look like when dropping off.
Beginning Monday, January 27, door 1 (the main entrance door) is unlocked at 7:00. This will allow students to stay warm from 7:00-7:15.
Because of this change, we ask that you drop your student off and exit the drop-off line.
Many students wait in the vehicle until the doors open at 7:15.
Please do not turn around and exit on Bilgo. We ask that you continue to Reigle Dr. and exit.
When dropping off your student, please pull up to the curb as displayed in the blue area.
Lastly, we have asked our food vendors not to park and deliver between 7:00-7:30. We will continue to work with them to help avoid congestion during this time.

We encourage all students to be on time and present every day.
