Kewaskum High School

The mission of Kewaskum High School is to inspire students to become empathetic, hardworking, service-minded young adults who will be positioned to excel beyond high school.

The vision of Kewaskum High School is to become the model high school for job-force driven programming and universal graduate success.

Dear Kewaskum High School Students, Families, and Staff,

As we move into April here at Kewaskum High School, I want to take a moment to share how excited we are about the wonderful events and opportunities ahead this month and beyond. Spring is truly in the air (fingers crossed for some consistently nice weather soon!), and it's a great time to celebrate the talents, hard work, and spirit of our community.

We are particularly looking forward to several key upcoming events:

• The Pre-ACT Secure assessment administration is scheduled on Wednesday, April 8. This is an important opportunity for our 9th- and 10th-graders to experience a practice version of the ACT, helping everyone build confidence and familiarity for future college and career pathways. Please ensure students are rested and ready—your support at home makes a big difference! Sophomores will also take the Forward Exam on this day.
• Prom preparations are well underway! This magical evening is a highlight of the school year, giving our juniors and seniors a chance to celebrate friendships, accomplishments, and the joy of high school. Details on the date and ticket sales are below.
• Spring sports and activities are ramping up in full swing! Whether it's track and field meets, baseball and softball games, golf outings, or our other spring extracurriculars, our student-athletes and participants are showcasing incredible dedication and teamwork. Come out and cheer them on—your presence means so much to our teams!

April is a busy but rewarding month that reminds us how quickly the school year progresses. Let's continue to support one another, stay positive, and make the most of every day. I am proud to be part of this outstanding Kewaskum High School family and truly look forward to seeing all the great things that happen in the weeks ahead.

Sincerely,

Kevin Bryant

KHS Principal

As we transition into Spring, we want to remind families that it’s perfectly okay to keep your child home if they aren’t feeling well. Staying home to rest and recover not only helps your child feel better sooner but also helps keep our school community healthy. Please reference this flyer. Thank you for helping us support a healthy learning environment for everyone!

We often get questions regarding excused and unexcused absences. When it comes to your student being out of school sick, they are considered excused (in the eyes of DPI) only if we have a doctor's note on file, per the state. If your child is sick from school, please help us by turning in a doctor's note.

Notes via Teledoc, virtual visits, or from PAs and NAs are sufficient.

Thank you in advance as we navigate an especially difficult cold and flu season.
