The 6th-grade had a guest speaker this week, Paul Decker, the chair of the Waukesha County Board of Supervisors. Paul had a successful career in sales in Chicago before moving back to Wisconsin. His love for our state and Waukesha County led him back “home”. He is a true public servant who gave students a first-hand view of our democratic, political process. Paul shared stories of working with constituents and politicians over the years and looking for common ground. He kept the attention of 200 students for an hour talking about the political process. That, in itself, is an amazing feat. We appreciate Paul volunteering his time to build a bridge between the roots of our democracy in Ancient Athens to today’s American Republic.

  • Mark your calendars for Wednesday, April 13th at 6:30 p.m. to attend our KMMS Family Listening Session. We will provide a summary of some of the issues facing our school and seek your feedback on a variety of questions about how we might move forward to serve our young adults.

Lunch Time Expectations

We have met with all learning environments this week to refresh some lunch expectations as our lunch supervisors have noticed that some reminders were needed. Below are the expectations that were highlighted along with general reminders about being respectful, responsible and safe in the cafeteria. We are asking for some help reinforcing this at home as well. We are hoping that the reminders and refresh of expectations helps improve things and we don't have to have consequences moving forward.

General Expectations:
  • Be appropriate with your food. This means you are not playing with your food, with others food, or making inappropriate gestures with food.

  • Clean up your space after eating. This means you are taking your trash, throwing it away properly and cleaning up the table space where you ate.  

  • Remaining at the table you chose to eat at, and not wandering around the cafeteria. There are too many students in the cafeteria during each lunch for everyone to wander around. It is expected that you remain at your table during the lunch period-except if you have chosen to go outside after you are done eating.

  • Be respectful to others. This means that you are talking to others (including the supervisors) with respect and in a positive manner.
Student Senate Sponsored Movie Night

Student Senate is organizing the first Family Movie Night on Friday, March 18th. We will be showing the movie Ratatouille. Admission is $5 per family with the proceeds benefitting our school. Bring the whole family for a fun-filled night. Doors will open at 6:00 with the movie starting at 6:30. Bring your own chairs or blankets to sit on the gym floor. This is a family movie night which means an adult over the age of 18 is required to attend with younger family members.

Snow Days will become Virtual Days
