As communicated last night, and in February, Wednesday, April 21st, is the ACT Aspire testing day for all 9th and 10th graders.

All 9th and 10th graders, including distance learners, will be on campus for testing. All 11th and 12th graders will have an asynchronous day of learning. All teachers will have virtual open office hours from 2:30 pm - 3:00 pm.

Please review this letter which was emailed to all parents and students last night for more details.

We are excited to share that our annual Senior Scholarship Program will be held on Friday, June 4 at 6 p.m. in the west gym.

Seniors and their parents are invited to attend this in person event.

Seniors will be recognized for their awards through the KM Education Foundation, as well as any other college/community scholarships they report.

Seniors and parents will receive communication soon with more details about the program.

ACT scores are in! If your student hasn't already retrieved their ACT scores from the March exam, they can do so by logging into my.act.org.

The Using Your ACT Results document is helpful to help you understand the score report.

Congratulations to everyone on their hard work during the ACT exam!

To view Kettle Moraine Campus grades, please click on the Infinite Campus Portal link in the High School website. Once you have logged into the Portal, your student's grades will be available under the Documents section.

If your KMSD student has been vaccinated for COVID, please forward a copy of your child’s WIR (Wisconsin Immunization Record) or a copy of the vaccination card given at the time of immunization to HS-Health-Room-KMSD@kmsd.edu. Your child’s school health record will be updated. Knowing this information at school will help determine if your child is exempt from quarantine if exposed to a positive COVID person.

Thank you,

One important aspect of our KM Achieve Program (KMAP) is community service. KMAP students have begun a large project to remove cut buckthorn from the woods just north of the main entrance.

Huge shoutout to Mrs. Neimon, one of our counselors, and her husband, for cutting down 900+ buckthorn trees and creating 400+ piles between November and March!

THANK YOU SO MUCH KMAP students and Neimons!!!

The Spanish Club participated in a March madness style tournament for music last month called "Locura de marzo." Every year Michigan educator Señor Ashby selects a group of popular Spanish songs for students to vote on across the world. KM Students who wanted to compete filled out brackets based on popular Spanish songs and then guessed an overall winner.

KM Spanish Club sponsored prizes for the closest brackets. Our winning team actually had a perfect bracket.

1st place: Michelle K. and Emma S. 

2nd place: Dominic T.

3rd place: Zach M.

4th place: Brianna B.

5th place: Chad K.
