Message from the Principal
Dear Kewaskum Families,
As we wrap up the month of November and head into December, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the many things we have to be thankful for here at Kewaskum High School.
First, I am incredibly grateful for our students, who continue to show dedication, enthusiasm, and resilience every day. It’s hard to believe that we’ve already completed the first trimester of the school year! Time truly flies when we’re working together toward success. I want to take a moment to recognize the hard work our students have put in during these past few months. Whether it was adjusting to new classes, taking on challenging coursework, or finding ways to get involved, our students have truly risen to the occasion.
I am also thankful for the amazing staff and faculty who continue to create a welcoming, supportive, and challenging environment for our students. Their commitment to excellence is what makes Kewaskum High School such a special place.
As we move into the holiday season, I encourage all of our students, families, and staff to take time to relax, reflect, and recharge. It’s a great time to celebrate the things that matter most – family, friends, and the shared experiences that make this community so strong.
Thank you to everyone for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Kevin Bryant
Principal
Kewaskum High School

When is Sick too Sick?
As we approach the colder months, we want to remind families that it's perfectly okay to keep your child home if they're feeling unwell. For guidance in making this decision, please refer to the document below.
KEYS Club Food Drive
KHS Key Club will be hosting their annual food drive during the week of Dec. 9. All items collected during that week will be donated to the Kewaskum Food Pantry. There has been an increase in use of the food pantry this year, and it's been difficult to keep the shelves stocked. Please consider contributing! More details will be shared with students the first week of December.
Attendance
Kewaskum High School is committed to fostering academic achievement and success for all our students. A crucial factor in this success is regular school attendance. Consistent attendance not only enhances academic performance but also supports overall student growth.
We encourage all students to be on time and present every day. Please review pages 3-5 of the student handbook for important information about attendance policies, including details on excused and unexcused absences. We understand that students may need to miss school for various reasons. If your student will be absent, please call the attendance line at (262) 626-3105 to notify us by 8:00 AM.
Your cooperation in ensuring timely attendance helps us support your student’s educational journey effectively. Thank you for your partnership!
