What a great week! It was so nice to see our students and families back at Cushing during this first week. Connection, communication, and sharing feedback with our families is important to us and it was great to start the year out connecting with each other. We are interested in learning about what kinds of feedback our families appreciate as well as communication preferences. Please take a few minutes to complete this survey if you did not complete it at Open House.
We also appreciate your patience and understanding as we settle into our routines. One of these routines is our Car Line. Our Car Line entrances have changed from last year, and may change as we get a feel for the traffic flow throughout the year.
A Few Car Line Reminders:
- At the start of the day, students will be allowed to enter the building at 8:20. Please keep this in mind as you consider your arrival time for the rest of the year. There are very few cars lined up after 8:25.
- Visor tags have been distributed. You can also make your own - a sheet of paper with your LAST name in large letters will do just fine!
- Please display the visor tag at dismissal time to keep cars flowing smoothly.
- Please pull as far forward as possible when you line up.
- Parents should remain in the Car Line and patiently wait until a staff member directs your student to your vehicle.
- Students should enter and exit the vehicle on the side that is closest to the building.
- The more cooperation we have with the pick-up process, the smoother, quicker and safer the pick-up process will be.

Bus Riders - Assigned Routes

Three or Four-Year-Olds Wanted
The Kettle Moraine School District’s Early Childhood Special Education Department is continuing the Preschool Integration Program at Dousman. Through this program we invite general education students to learn alongside students with special education needs. We are looking for 3 and 4 year old peer models to join our Early Childhood Special Education class at Dousman Elementary School for the 2021-2022 school year. This program is at no cost to peer models; however parents would need to provide transportation and complete Kettle Moraine School District enrollment paperwork. Please contact Tricia Anderson at (262) 965-6520, ext. 8701 or [email protected] to set up a visit and complete a brief developmental history. Thank you!
