MISSION: IGNITING A PASSION FOR LEARNING
Mission: The mission of Kewaskum Elementary School is to develop the whole child by providing a motivating, stimulating, and nurturing environment to build a better future together.
Vision: The vision of the Kewaskum Elementary School is to guide our students to be respectful, compassionate, and responsible individuals who recognize and value their educational journey.
Principal Message
As the school year falls into its familiar pattern, I typically ask my own children the same question, "how was school?" The response is the same, "fine." I have to remind myself to phrase the question, "tell me one good thing about your day and one thing that was challenging?" I hope this helps you when you are finding yourself in the same pattern as I often do.
