Director's Message

In the last couple of weeks, students have been creating a student toolkit to help with strategies and resources around student agency. Students will be using these resources to help develop their action steps for their individual goals.

Thank you to the parents who have responded to our brief feedback survey.

If you have not yet responded, you can find the survey link here. We appreciate the feedback. You can learn more about student agency by checking out this brief concept note.

Midterms (November 1st - 4th)

During midterms, students who are on track with academic goals will be able to apply for a flexible, off-campus schedule. Due to the extensive nature of these midterm presentations, there will be no regular KM Global classes during this time.

During this time, students will be:

Sharing their inquiry learning and progress during a scheduled midterm presentation
Engaging in workshops as requested by teachers
Continuing to work either on-campus or off-campus (if approved) on making progress towards their academic goals
Attending all legacy classes (if applicable)
Reaching out to teachers if additional help is needed

Students and parents must complete and return this form to be eligible for a flexible schedule during midterms.

Community Highlights

In the Paranormal Activity seminar, students visited the UW-Madison campus for a ghost tour that shared interesting historical facts and cultural stories. Students in the Making of Milwaukee Seminar took a field trip to the Milwaukee Historical Society. There they were taught about Milwaukee’s ethnic groups, how the city has developed, and they were shown interesting artifacts of the city.

How do I sign up for the parent digest report?

Students have completed a majority of their initial research for their inquiry project. They should have also reached out to at least one field expert connected to their project topic. Currently, students are preparing for a midterm presentation. During their midterm, students will present their research and next steps to their learning coach and one other teacher. Here are some questions you can ask at home.

Are you feeling prepared for your midterm? When is your midterm presentation scheduled for?
