New Mask Policy Set for Monday, May 24
Kettle Moraine School Board voted that effective Monday, May 24th, mask wearing will change from required to recommended. No other mitigation strategies will be changing.

Please have a conversation with your child about the different choices that your family and other families are making around this issue. We will insist that our school remain a place where we show respect and always be kind to one another. We will be working as a staff to continue to ensure that all students feel safe and supported during the remaining school days.  
 
It's important to note that masks will continue to be mandatory on your bus rides. Bus riders need to have a mask ready to wear each day. We are asking and expecting that all of us will continue to follow the other mitigation strategies already in place.
