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.

Last month, the 5th-grade teachers and students organized a food drive to commemorate the 1,000th day of school (100 days for K-4). Their goal was to collect over 1,000 items for the food pantry, and they exceeded this target by more than 300 items. I am incredibly proud of our school and community for their outstanding efforts. Well done!

• 4K Meet and Greet: There will be an open house for all incoming 4K students to meet the 4K teachers, tour the building, and learn more about 4K. This will take place at KES from 4:30-6:30 on April 18th.
• Gallery Night: The Annual K-12 District Art Show will be returning this year on April 17, 2024 from 4:30-7:30pm at KMS. We are looking for some parent volunteers to help with the evening. There are various time slots and jobs available. Please sign up using the link for Sign Up Genius if you are able to help: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0B4EA8A62DA1F8C43-47930657-gallery.

Despite bad weather and illness, our teachers, families, and students have persisted in learning and engagement. We appreciate everyone’s hard work and commitment to our school community. Thank you, thank you! Daily attendance is more important than ever. It helps to:

• reduce stress

• make it easier to connect with friends and teachers

• support learning

• Please call us if you need help with attendance. Mrs. Wiedmeyer, attendance secretary 262-626-3101 ext. 1003

As long as your student is healthy, please encourage showing up to class when school is in session.

Every day of school is an important opportunity for students to learn and connect to peers and their teachers; regular attendance matters.
