Spring Ahead! With the warmer weather, we wanted to share a few reminders with our families. As the snow melts, it is helpful to have an extra set of clothing for younger children in their backpack in case they get muddy or wet. If your child borrows clothing from our Health Room, please be sure they return them after use.
As a school, we ask that students wear their coats when it is 50 degrees or cooler. Please be sure that your child brings a coat to school on cooler days. Hoping that you’re able to enjoy the warmer weather and sunshine ahead!

Message from the Health Room |
|
There has been some confusion about PCR vs. antigen testing for COVID-19.
-
If a child stays home OR has been sent home with symptoms of COVID-19 and you wish to have them tested, KMSD requires a negative PCR test, which follows the CDC and Waukesha County guidelines for schools. This is for children with symptoms.
- Not every doctor’s office automatically does PCR testing. Please verify the type of testing before having it done.
-
Documented proof of a negative PCR test is required before a child is allowed back in the classroom along with the child being symptom free for at least 24 hours without the use of medication.
Feel free to email our Health Room Staff: Susan Wilson ([email protected]) and/or Becky Chiang ([email protected]) or call the COVID-19 RN or Health Hotline if you have any questions.
* District COVID-19 RN-Direct line: 262-968-6300, ext 5334
* KMSD Health Hotline 262-968-6369
(District Nurse, Patricia Schuetz RN & Jenny Pick, RN)
Thank you!
