Principal Molitor PictureMessage from the Principal

I can’t wait to get the school year started as my second year as principal here at Kaleidoscope Academy. To say that Kaleidoscope is unique is an understatement. After being at various schools throughout the past years, I can confidently say the culture and climate at Kaleidoscope are like no other. The collaborative staff, progressive nature of learning, and student-centered mindset makes Kaleidoscope the best middle school in the Fox Valley. We are so excited to welcome you and your child to Kaleidoscope to the 2022-23 school year. It’s going to be the best school year yet!

I look forward to meeting you. Never hesitate to reach out to provide feedback, ask questions, set up a time to meet, or schedule a visit of the school. The partnerships we have with parents and families is a critical part of what makes us successful here at Kaleidoscope. Together, we are #KAStrong.

Sincerely,

Alexandra Molitor
Principal
