 August 11, 2022 From the President’s Pen Dear KML Family, Our preparations for the new school year are nearly complete! Thank you for choosing KML and being a part of our student body of more than 546 students. We are excited to welcome our entire KML family back on Thursday, August 18. Please pray for our families, students, faculty, and staff as we begin another year focused on the foundation of our school, Jesus Christ. What a blessing it will be to gather our Christian community together! God Bless, President Luehring
Visitor Policy Update To ensure a safe school environment, KML has partnered with a third-party company to screen all visitors prior to their admittance to the school building. Visitors who plan to go beyond the Main Office should make sure they have a state-issued photo ID along with them prior to entering the building. If you are picking up SCRIP or dropping off an item for your student, this does not apply. It is only applicable if you plan to go beyond the Main Office. Thank you in advance for your cooperation!
Reporting a Student Absence In cases where a student is absent, the parent/guardian should follow this procedure:
If an email is not sent, the parent/guardian should send a signed, written explanation (including the above required information) on the first day the student returns to school. The written excuse should be turned in to the Main Office. Failure to turn in a written excuse will result in an unexcused absence on the student’s permanent record. This information can also be found online at www.kmlhs.org under Resources > Student Absences or www.kmlhs.org/student-absences.
Senior Picture Guidelines & Deadline It’s time to start thinking about senior pictures for students in the class of 2023! Having your senior pictures taken can be a time consuming process, so we recommend choosing a photographer and contacting him/her right away. All senior pictures must be submitted by January 13, 2023. Because the yearbook represents Kettle Moraine Lutheran High School, we want to maintain a consistent style and format throughout the book. We do limit the pictures seniors may place in the senior portrait section of the yearbook. The yearbook staff asks that one picture be taken and submitted digitally which meets the guidelines found at kmlhs.org/seniorpics. Senior pictures are due January 13, 2023. If we do not receive a picture by this date, the student’s ID picture will be placed in the yearbook instead. Please do not wait until the last minute. Please feel free to contact Mrs. Rebecca Meyer (rebecca.meyer@kmlhs.org) with any questions or concerns.
