Waukesha County Executive Paul Farrow urges the community to help control further spread of COVID in a news conference by "rethinking your holiday plans and make sure you're acting safely."

As a follow up to my first Laser Update this year, when I reviewed our work from the 2019-2020 school year, I'm proud to share the final KMHS Annual Report that the high school administrative team presented to the KMSD School Board earlier this month.

We made great progress last year with our school goals and I have high aspirations and expectations that we will continue to advance our Academic Excellence, Citizenship & Personal Development, and Service & People goals in the 2020-2021 school year.

Mrs. Kirby was honored to welcome Dr. Tara Dall, MD to speak (virtually) to Principles in Biomedical Sciences students about her experience using telehealth medicine in her lipidology clinic. Dr. Dall’s lipidology clinic was the first board certified lipidology clinic in the USA in 2007 and has used the Telehealth medicine platform since 2014.

Students designed “Virtual Telehealth Appointment” skits to demonstrate what they learned during the Clinical Care Unit, and learned what Familial Hypercholesterolemia was in the Genetics Unit.

What is Blooket? It’s a new, incredibly effective take on trivia and review games! Kind of like Quizlet, Kahoot, and Gimkit all rolled into one.

So... what's a Blook? According to Blooket.com, "It's a friendly little block that loves to play! Blooks represent players and there are so many waiting to be unlocked."

You may be wonder, "How does that have anything to do with KMHS?" Students in Sra. Karls’ Spanish 2 classes did a virtual activity with Blooket. Students reviewed information from their current lesson, individually and in teams, while having some fun. #KMFUN #KMSMART

Do you enjoy a good mystery, a good laugh, or both?

Tickets can be purchased here on KMSD's Classmunity page; only registered ticket holders will get the exclusive links to see the show. Thank you for celebrating the work of this team from across the KMHS Campus and cheering them on to the State One Act Festival in December.

As a KM community, we know the importance of spreading the message of kindness #KMKind. In an effort to expand our reach with this positive message, we have partnered with AlwaysBeKindLakeCountry.com to encourage everyone to choose kindness every day. “Always Be Kind” is not just a reminder for the students in our KM school district, but also for all members of our KM community.

We are encouraging everyone to join us in this initiative as we work to spread kindness all across the Kettle Moraine community. Please consider purchasing an “Always Be Kind” t-shirt, designed specifically for KM before midnight tonight! Click on the button below to find information about shirt colors, sizing (included finished product measurements), pricing, and delivery details. SHIRT SALES END TONIGHT at 11:59 pm.

The KM Board of Education approved modification of the 2020-21 calendar to increase scheduled professional days in support of our educators, in lieu of banked days for inclement weather. The reason for banked “snow days” no longer exists in the same manner as before. When severe weather occurs, the district will close buildings, but at-home learning will continue. Students will be expected to engage in their scheduled classes from their homes, under the instruction of their teachers.

The district is in regular communication with Waukesha County Public Health, who strongly recommends face coverings in schools. This recommendation aligns with CDC and State Health Dept guidelines. Our district face-covering requirement is in place for the entire 2020-21 school year, regardless of the governor’s current or future orders.
