No School Monday, January 25th

There will be no face to face or distance classes held next Monday. Monday is a vacation day for students and will be used by teachers and staff members for Professional Development.
If your student has fallen behind at school, this is also a perfect opportunity for him/her to use some of the extra time to catch up with reading, instrumental practice or projects.
The KMMS office will be open on Monday, January 25 from 7:30am until 3pm.
We wish you a safe and relaxing long weekend!
Moving from Distance to F2F Instruction?

If your child will be returning to Face to Face (F2F) instruction from Distance (DIST) learning beginning Tuesday, January 26th, here are two important items for you to know: 
  • If you are planning to have your child ride the bus, you need to call Dousman Transport Company at (262) 965-2214 and tell them he/she will be riding.  
  • Your class schedule can be found in the Infinite Campus portal by Monday, 1/25. There may be some elective period changes, as some classes, particularly Phy. Ed, are set up with different sections for F2F and DIST students.  
We're excited to see you next week! Give us a call if you have other questions about your transition back to F2F instruction.
2021 Carson Scholars Program Award Nominee

KMMS is proud to name 8th grader Reese Albert as our nominee for the 2021 Carson Scholars Program award. 
The purpose of the Carson Scholars Program is to recognize and reward outstanding students in the United States who exemplify academic excellence and humanitarian qualities. 
Reese is being honored for the volunteer and humanitarian work she has done with a variety of organizations, including her local church. Most notably, Reese has, on multiple occasions, organized large donations of warm clothing and Christmas gifts to the Northcott Neighborhood House in Milwaukee. Reese has also proven herself a leader within our school through her high academic achievement and participation in Best Buddies. Excellent job, Reese!
