Message from the Principal
Dear High School Families,
As we approach the end of the school year, I am filled with excitement as we prepare to celebrate our graduating class at the upcoming commencement ceremony. It’s hard to believe how quickly this year has flown by. Watching our seniors take their final steps as high school students is a bittersweet moment. Still, I am thrilled to see them embark on their next adventures, equipped with the knowledge and resilience they gained here. Congratulations to our graduates, and thank you to our entire school community for making this year unforgettable!
Sincerely,
Kevin Bryant
High School Principal

School Counselor Summer Hours:
-Mrs. Leoni (A-K) and Mrs. Bryant (L-Z) will have limited availability during the summer months. We will not be in the office regularly over summer break, but we will be checking our emails a few times each week. If there is something that cannot wait until fall, please send your school counselor an email and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
Student Schedules for 2025-26:
-To view your student’s schedule: Log in to Skyward Family Access, click “Schedule” in the left-hand column, then click “Display Options” and “Next Year” at the top of the page. To request a schedule change, students and families should email their student’s school counselor with the courses being requested to drop/add. After the new school year starts, a schedule change form must be submitted within the first two days of the term and only requests related to academic misplacement, missing graduation requirements, or change to career pathway will be considered. Requests submitted after this date will only be considered pending extenuating circumstances and administrator approval.Class of 2026 Students & Families:
-We understand that the anticipation of senior year can bring both excitement and anxiety as students begin planning for life after high school. We will be meeting with all seniors right away in September to discuss post-secondary plans and help provide guidance. Please don’t hesitate to reach out during the next school year whenever questions or concerns arise.
-For students who hope to apply to a UW school, the application will open on August 1 here: https://apply.wisconsin.edu/. Students can download their unofficial transcripts via Skyward or order official transcripts through Parchment. Again, we will be reviewing all of this information during our senior meetings in September, but we know some students may want to get a head start.
Congratulations Class of 2025!
-We want to wish all of our seniors the best of luck as they transition to their next exciting journey in life after graduation! To say we will miss our seniors is an understatement!!! Thank you for having such amazing children (young adults) and we truly hope they stay in touch.Thank you for a great year!
-Thank you for allowing us to serve you and your family during the 2024-25 school year. We like to end our year with gratitude and the amount of times we have said to each other over the course of the year, “we really have great kids at Kewaskum High School” is more than you can imagine! We wish everyone a wonderful summer vacation and hope you all have time to enjoy time with your families.
Locker Clean Up/Lock Removal
Please remind your student to clean their lockers before summer and remove their locks. Anything left in lockers will be thrown away.
Wisconsin Immunization Requirements
Wisconsin School Immunization Requirements
To help keep all students healthy and safe, Wisconsin state law requires children in child care centers and K–12 schools to receive certain immunizations. These vaccines protect against diseases such as measles, mumps, rubella, polio, hepatitis B, chickenpox, and whooping cough. Most vaccines are given in a series beginning in infancy and continuing through adolescence. Key ages for immunization include: age 1 (MMR, varicella), age 4 (DTaP, polio), age 11 (Tdap, meningococcal), and age 16 (second dose of meningococcal vaccine).
Families must provide written proof of required immunizations or file a waiver within 30 school days of enrollment. Additional vaccine doses may be required at specific grade levels. If your child is entering school or child care, or moving to a new school, now is a great time to check with your doctor or local health department to ensure their immunizations are up to date. For more detailed information, visit the Wisconsin Department of Health Services immunization page.
