Summer Academy Offers New Format, Sign-Up is Open!!
KMSD will offer a face-to-face Summer Academy beginning in June, 2021. District mitigation strategies, family cooperation and desire suggest a face-to-face program is best for our Kettle Moraine community. District staff and attending students will continue with appropriate mitigation strategies including hand-washing, hand-sanitizing, and face coverings.

Elementary students will be grouped in cohorts by grade level or grade-band, similar to classrooms this year. Middle school students will have the opportunity to register for themed pathways in a face-to-face environment and high school credit courses will continue to run much the same as in the past.
