It is Safety Week!
The Kaukauna Area School District makes school safety a priority. We implement safety drills on a regular basis which include fire, tornado, hold, lockdown and evacuation. All of our buildings are equipped with safe entrances and security cameras throughout. In light of unfortunate events that have happened throughout the world, we have adopted a philosophy with how we prepare students for the potential of having an intruder in our schools. ALICE (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate) strategies provide students and staff with options to stay safe, make safe choices and save as many lives as possible. To learn more about the ALICE strategies please visit the following webpage:
http://www.alicetraining.com/what-we-do/alice-components/k-12/In recognition of the importance of practicing these drills early in the school year, the Kaukauna Area School District has established School Safety Week. In an effort to accommodate scheduling at each school within the district, the initial drills (outlined below) will run between September 14 and September 18 . During these five school days, students will be exposed to all of our safety drill procedures and the ALICE strategies. To assist students with understanding ALICE, we have implemented the following plan:
Throughout next week, students will take part in the following activities:
- 4K-grade 4 students will listen to and discuss the book I'm Not Scared, I'm Prepared! Because I Know All About ALICE by Julia Cook.
- Fire Drill
- Tornado Drill
- Hold/Lockdown Drill
- Evacuation to Rally Points Drill (this will involve students and staff relocating to a location near their school, but off the school grounds).
- If you do not give consent for your child to practice moving to the rally point with their teacher and classmates, please contact the principal.
Please know the intent of featuring these drills in September is to educate, protect and stimulate conversation among teachers and students. Your child/children will likely come home and share information with you as well. If you should have any questions or concerns prior to the drills, or following Safety Week, please contact Mrs. Knapp.
Monthly Student Raffle Prizes
Hello Quinney Families,
For the past two years, we have found a way to acknowledge students who continually show the Quinney ABC’s (Act Respectful, Be Responsible, Come Ready to Learn) and the students and staff really enjoyed it! So we're going to implement it again this year...it's called the Quinney ABC Raffle. Students have a chance each month to earn tickets for a drawing for fantastic prizes. Each month there are at least six prizes to choose from. The prizes are donated by staff and families. If you would be willing to donate prizes we would greatly appreciate your support.
This year, we are requesting that prizes come directly from Amazon. We’ve made it easy for you by creating a wishlist on Amazon. You can order directly from Amazon and the item can be shipped to Quinney. Just click here
Quinney ABC’s Raffle Prizes to bring you to the wish list. When you checkout, select to have it shipped to Electa Quinney. Please check yes to the gift receipt so we can make sure to thank you for your support.
Thank you so much for considering our request.

Parent Advisory Committee Meeting
Join us for the first PAC Meeting...Monday, September 21, 6-7 p.m. Since this is our first meeting for the year and we will hold this meeting in person with masks and 6 feet distancing. The opportunity to attend the meeting virtually via Google Meets will also be available for anyone unable to attend in person or wishing to attend from home. All future 20-21 meetings will all be held virtually. Being a part of PAC and volunteering with Quinney helps your child, our teachers and staff, and provides a sense of community and family for our school. Working together we can provide great options for students during social distancing and cohort and help school spirit remain high.
Sign-up here to help us plan for social distancing for our first meeting or to receive an email with the virtual link.
The one we thing we know for sure to be ready to go for the year, we must elect new officers for open positions at our Sept. 21st meeting. Before that can happen, we need to submit nominations!
Please click
HERE for the 2020-2021 PAC Officer Nomination Form. Once you nominate someone, other than yourself, they will be contacted by the Principal or current board and asked if they are interested or not. Ideally if you can talk to them first that’s great, but if that can’t happen, don’t worry cause we will cover that step anyway. You will find a description of each Officer position
here.
