Dear 4K Families and Community,

I’m honored to serve as the 4K–Early Childhood Principal for the Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District. The 4K year is such a special and important time—it’s often a child’s first experience in a school setting, and it lays the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.

With over a decade of experience in early childhood, special education, and school psychology, I’m passionate about creating welcoming, inclusive classrooms where every child feels valued, supported, and excited to grow. I’m committed to making sure our 4K programs foster curiosity, confidence, and connection for all learners.

As a parent of four myself, I understand the trust families place in schools during these early years. I’m excited to partner with you to ensure your child has a joyful and successful start to their educational journey.

I look forward to visiting each of our 4K sites and getting to know our students, families, and staff. Please don’t hesitate to reach out or say hello—I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Warmly,
Katie Kavanaugh
MCPASD 4K–Early Childhood Principal
