The vision of Kewaskum Elementary School is to guide our students to be respectful, hopeful, compassionate, and responsible individuals who recognize and take ownership in their educational journey.

The mission of Kewaskum Elementary School is to develop the whole child by providing an engaging and nurturing environment through high-quality teaching and learning.

At Kewaskum Elementary, we believe every child can grow into a confident, caring, and capable learner. Our Vision of a Learner outlines the important skills and habits that help students succeed in school and in life.

This vision grows with your child from 4K through 5th grade, focusing on eight key areas:

✅ Community Contributors – caring, respectful, and responsible members of their community.
✅ Effective Communicators – share ideas clearly and listen to others.
✅ Creative Problem Solvers – think critically and find solutions.
✅ Resilient Learners – persevere, try new things, and learn from mistakes.
✅ Digital Citizens – use technology responsibly.
✅ Healthy Individuals – practice self-care, good habits, and balance.
✅ Responsible Collaborators – work well with peers and adults.
✅ Future Focused – set goals and dream big.

April – Digital Citizens

• Students use technology responsibly and respectfully.

Ask your child: “How did you use your iPad or computer responsibly today?”

Mark your calendars for our favorite day of the year! The Annual KES Fun Run will take place during the school day on Thursday, May 14th.

This event is a highlight for our students and a vital fundraiser for our school. Be on the lookout for detailed information coming home soon. We will be sharing ways you can help on this day.

We would like to give a big thank you to everyone that attended this annual event. The night was a big success as we were able to raise over three thousand dollars for the PTO to use to help support KES. The planning team is hard at work already setting up details for next year.
