KEWASKUM DISTRICT NEWS
Exciting news! CESA6 will be in our buildings on May 23 to gather photographs and video of our staff and students for a new Kewaskum School District promotional video. The video will be featured on our website and other social media platforms.
Further details and information will follow at a later date.
If you prefer that your student(s) NOT be featured, please complete this google form or email us at promoteksd@kewaskumschools.org. by Monday, May 20.
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.

Ticks!
Warmer weather is finally here, and with the increased amount of time spent outside, there has also been an increase in the number of ticks we are finding on students at school. Please make it a habit to check your students regularly for ticks. If we find one, we'll notify you, remove the tick, and seal it in a bag for your child to take home so you can identify the species.
For more information on ticks, their removal, and a helpful fact sheet, follow this link from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
