Principal Message

As we approach the holiday season, I want to express my gratitude for your support and involvement throughout the year. Wishing you and your family a joyful and restful holiday break. I look forward to seeing you in the new year, ready for more learning and growth!

Warmest wishes

Attendance/School Information

The ABCD calendar, which outlines when students have their specials classes, has been updated. Please visit the Kewaskum Elementary School website to view the latest updates.
Your child's consistent school attendance is a key factor in their achievement and growth. After winter break, please note that families will receive tardy letters if a student accumulates 10 or more tardies.

Winter Concert

The Winter Concert is here! Join us on Tuesday, December 10th, for two performances. The first program will begin at 2:00 PM, and the second will start at 6:00 PM. Doors will open at 1:30 PM for the afternoon concert and at 5:30 PM for the evening performance, both through Door 2. We look forward to enjoying the holiday performances by our K-3rd grade students!

PTO Updates

The Fall was filled with lots of fundraisers for the PTO. We truly appreciate the support from all the families that were able to contribute. Many thanks to the families that provided items for our conference meal, the teachers really appreciated it! We are working on some fun projects for the staff and students at KES. All students will be provided with a FREE KES Spirit t-shirt after Christmas break. We are also working on purchasing a new swing for the playground. Besides these fun projects, we continue to support students and teachers by providing bus funding for field trips and miscellaneous classroom supplies.

PikMyKid Updates

We have come a long way since the first day of school. I greatly appreciate your partnership in solidifying this process. Here are a few important updates:

3-5 carline and 4K-2 carline can now announce when they have arrived to school. If you need help with this feature, please call the office.
If you arrive at school at 3:55 or later, students that are still in their classrooms will be sent to the office. At 3:55 please go directly to the office even if you see a staff member outside.
Car tags should be in all cars. This allows us to verify the person getting in the car with the person who announced.
