Director's Message

We hope all of our students and families have a great Thanksgiving break. We are grateful for the amazing students and families we have in the KM Global community!

Students are currently working on sending home a video update on their student agency goal. These videos will provide students with another tool for self-reflection, as well as a way to communicate goal progress with their parents and learning coach. Students have chosen these goals as a meaningful way for them to grow and develop their agency as a student, learner and independent young adult. We know there are also great conversations going on at home around their goal. Thank you for contributing your thoughts and feedback. Look for these videos to arrive via email soon.

Forward/Aspire Results

Students were instructed to ensure they took results home. Please take the time to ask your student about their results.

Community Highlights

During term 2, students are continuing their volunteer and service work in the community. We have students volunteering at the elementary school, middle school, Lapham Peak, Hope Center, Delafield Public Library, and the Wales Food Pantry. Students are also on campus working on creating cards to show appreciation for others in our community and planning to help a family in our community through the Adopt-a-Family program. If you would like to help out with the Adopt-a-Family you can check out the flyer below for additional details.

Students have been proposing a plan for their final products for their inquiry project. Final products are artifacts that the students create to show and defend their learning. We are working with students to create ideas that have a real purpose and audience- to think about how they could be useful beyond their classroom. At this time students should have a clear idea and outline for their final products. They will be submitting their initial drafts in early December. We hope students have solid drafts (close to finalized) prior to winter break. You can help at home by providing them feedback on their final products as well. Here are a few questions you can ask at home.

What ideas do you have for your final products?
What is your purpose and who is your audience?
