Magee Families and Students are you ready to show some Magee/KM Pride during Homecoming Week!? Here are the spirit days for Homecoming Week, which is Monday, September 22nd - Friday, September 26th. We can't wait to see everyone showing their school and district spirit!
FIRST WEEK OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!!! It is always exciting to welcome students back and introduce them to a new year of learning. This year, we are really leaning into a culture of One KM. We encourage all of our KM families to explore other schools, schedule tours, meet the staff, talk with families, and attend events at each of our locations. With over 90 square miles, our district is spread out geographically, making our schools feel somewhat isolated from the broader KM Community. As students transition to new schools, whether that be another elementary for 26-27 or to middle and high school, we want them to feel confident in their surroundings. Please visit kmsd.edu/restructure to learn more about the new elementary boundaries and find upcoming events at other schools.

Hosted by the Kettle Moraine High School Cheerleaders, the clinic will take place Tuesday September 30th and Thursday October 2nd from 5:30 - 7:00pm with check in to begin at 5:15pm each day. The performance will be at the Varsity Football game on Friday October 3rd, 2025, with check in to begin at 6:30pm at the KMHS Varsity Softball Field - Adonis Fields Softball Complex.

ELEMENTARY BACK TO SCHOOL BASHES CELEBRATE ONE KM!! As the district plans to combine four elementary schools into three for the 26-27 school year, we have extended many events to all of our 4K-5 families district-wide! This will begin with our Back to School Bashes on August 27th. You can stop in at Magee and Cushing from 4:30 - 6:30pm and Dousman and Wales from 5:30-7:00pm. We hope you will take advantage of these opportunities to experience each of our KM schools, meet staff members, and make new friends! Creating pathways for students and families to transition gradually throughout the year will build confidence and ease the anxiety that often accompanies change. We also hope to cultivate a more connected KM Community and bring families together. To learn more about each of our schools, you can visit their websites using the school dropdown at kmsd.edu and use the events icon at the top of the menu to see what is happening throughout the year. We will also have a list of events for all of our schools on our restructure page at kmsd.edu/restructure!
