In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore why kids are drawn to social media and uncover meaningful strategies to meet those same needs beyond the screen. You’ll leave with practical ideas to strengthen your connection with your child, inspire more offline engagement, and create a balanced approach to technology at home.

Let’s work together to pause the scroll and build stronger, more connected families!

Free meals will be made available to children 18 years of age and under. Persons over 18 years of age who are determined by a state or local public educational agency to be mentally or physically disabled, and who also participate in a public or private non-profit school program during the regular school year, may also receive free meals.

The following locations will be serving free meals this summer:

Mason came in swinging, quickly building strong relationships with students by greeting them in the morning and making meaningful connections. While approachable and supportive, he also holds students accountable with high expectations that help them stay focused and motivated.

When a colleague was out on maternity leave, Mason stepped right in and kept the class moving forward. He’s always willing to help, collaborate and share resources, making him a valued partner to both students and staff.

Thank you for your energy, teamwork and commitment, Mason!

This event, co-sponsored by WSMA, spotlights students from all KUSD secondary schools with more than 800 individual and small-group adjudicated events. Events are adjudicated by musicians certified through and contracted by WSMA. Festival events are divided into classifications of A, B and C according to the required skill level of the music performed, with Class A being the most difficult. Musical selections are chosen from an approved list developed by WSMA.

Student performances are evaluated using the WSMA performance rubric, which is divided into several musical sub-categories. The overall performances will be scored as a composite of the ratings earned in each of the rubric’s sub-categories. All participants will receive performance evaluations from the judges. Students receiving a superior rating in Class A competition who satisfy specific qualitative and quantitative performance criteria will be eligible to advance to the State Solo and Ensemble Festival on Saturday, May 2, at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside.

The success of this event relies heavily on volunteer participation. Individuals interested in supporting this student activity can for one or more of the positions and shifts listed.

This event is free and open to the public. It will feature various solo performances and ensembles, from duets and trios to madrigal groups and alternative string, brass, woodwind, jazz and percussion ensembles.

For additional information, please contact Scott Plank, KUSD coordinator of fine arts, at 262-359-6388 or splank@kusd.edu.
