Wisconsin Forward Results

On Tuesday your child will be coming home with their Wisconsin Forward Exam Individual Student Report (ISR) in their folder. The ISR provides information about your child’s performance on the Wisconsin Forward Exam. The Forward Exam was administered last spring in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics for students in grades 3-8, Science for grades 4 and 8, and Social Studies for grades 4, 8, and 10. As part of the Wisconsin Student Assessment System, the Forward Exam is a large-scale, standardized achievement test designed to assess what students know in relation to the Wisconsin Academic Standards. Watch for this report in their backpack on Tuesday!

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 13 and September 17 . 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.

What Went Well Wednesday

What Went Well Wednesday was started at Electa Quinney in 2017 as an effort to help our families experience more conversations about school and to continue to encourage a growth mindset for our students.

With many of us as parents as well, we realize the impacts daily schedules and activities have on our children, parents, and families as a whole.  We know that "research...reveals...:that parents, of all backgrounds, don't need to buy expensive digital educational toys or digital devices for their kids in order to give them an edge.  They don't need to chauffeur their offspring to enrichment classes or test-prep courses.  What they need to do with their children is much simpler: TALK."  We know that our parents want to be involved in their child's development and schooling; and, we know that a positive attitude and a growth mindset help students be successful.

We hope having no homework on Wednesday's other than to reflect and discuss what has gone well at school will bring a positive light to your conversations at home and what students are sharing about school.  http://ideas.time.com/2012/10/24/the-single-largest-advantage-parents-can-give-their-kids/

Running Late Picking Up After School?

If your child is picked up after school after most children/staff have dispersed from the playground, your child will be waiting near the picnic tables on the playground near the corner of the school where there will be supervision until 3:20 PM. In the event that you are late, for the safety of your child, the supervisor will bring them into the office so that you can be contacted.

Leaving for Appointments & Phone Calls During the Day

If your child has an appointment that requires them to leave during the school day, please include a note in the agenda planner. Having the information in the morning will help have your child ready in a timely manner when you arrive to pick them up. When you arrive to pick up your child, please come into the office to sign them out. Your child will be called down at that time, we do not allow students to wait in the lobby for their safety. 

Your phone calls are important to us!  When calling during the school day, please be aware that you may be transferred to the staff member's voicemail if it is during instructional time.  We work hard to avoid interrupting instructional time if at all possible.  If an immediate message is needed, please let the office staff know and that message will be delivered via note/in person to the staff member.

Thank you for understanding!

Community Events and Activity Flyers

There are a great many worthy undertakings in the Kaukauna Area School District that understandably deserve public support. The Board of Education/School District assist with this process in providing notice to students and/or families of certain non-school-related community activities/programs that are for public school-age students (that apply and meet policy conditions). Click here or visit the school district website to view the up to date list of events and flyers
