Kettle Moraine School District

SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER DAY!!! Thank you to our SROs for the amazing work you do building relationships and keeping our schools safe!

KM COMMUNITY CENTER PROGRAMMING SURVEY!!! Our planning team is making wonderful progress on the new Community Center at the Magee Campus and will start offering programming for the 2026-27 school year. As part of this process, we are looking for input from our KM Community on offerings and schedules that most appeal to you. Please visit: https://forms.gle/tdf3x9Z84sfQ14At7 to complete the Community Center survey by February 27th. This survey is open to everyone, residents and non-residents of all ages, who may be interested in utilizing the Community Center. Pre-school, senior and adult programming are an important part of this planning, so please share this link with family and friends who do not currently have children in school. Community vitality thrives when learning doesn’t stop at the classroom door. At Kettle Moraine, we see education as a lifelong journey—one that is enriched by recreation, connection, and shared experiences across generations. By intentionally designing programs that meet real community needs, we are creating spaces where learning feels natural, accessible, and welcoming. That belief is shaping the vision for the new KM Community Center at the Magee Campus.
