Desert Willow Elementary School

WOW! Our Math Showcase Night last night was a total blast! From sensory boxes, to logic puzzles, and even giant board games, it was awesome seeing our students, staff, and community team up to prove that math is way more than just textbooks!!! A huge thank you to everyone who came out to play, and celebrate! 🔢💪🥳

Ink-credible things happened at Desert Willow yesterday. Our teachers and staff were great sports for the "Tattoo The Teacher" fundraiser! Our students had a blast!! Our incredible City of Kingman Fire Department also joined in on the fun! Thank you to all of our families for supporting this fundraiser.❤️🤩

Dear KUSD Families,

We are preparing our academic calendars for the 2026–2027 through 2028–2029 school years and would like additional feedback from parents and community members before taking action.

The proposed calendar maintains our four-day student week and includes a later start to the school year. To support that later start, fall and spring breaks would shift from two weeks to one week, while winter break would remain two weeks. Parent/Teacher conferences would continue to be supported with minimum attendance days in the fall and spring.

We welcome your feedback regarding the proposed calendar with a later start and shorter fall and spring intersessions. Please take a moment to complete the brief feedback form linked below.

We appreciate your time and partnership as we work to balance student learning, staff sustainability, and family needs across our district.
