EQ Families are invited to visit Culver's in Darboy on Saturday, November 6th. We will send home a pre-printed coupon and families will need to bring the coupon with them when they come to the restaurant and hand them to the cashier when ordering their food. Schools will receive 10% of all sales from redeemed pre-printed coupons. Please note, they will not be able to honor any coupons turned in on any day other than the one in which the fundraiser is scheduled. 

Culver's is happy to be hosting fundraisers in their restaurants once again and feel this is a safe way to do this. It allows families to choose a time that works in their schedule to help the schools and it gives the families the option to choose dine in or drive thru.

October is Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug Abuse Awareness (ATODA) month.  October 25th thru October 27th is National Red Ribbon Week…a week dedicated to celebrating a healthy and drug free life.  Kaukauna Elementary Schools have some activities planned during the month to promote awareness.  The following is a list of dates and activities planned at school:

Talk with your kids to build healthy and safe habits for a lifetime: Small talks are short, casual conversations that help you connect with your child on the important stuff, like underage drinking. Having lots of small talks over time helps build trust and set expectations as kids change and grow.

Best Wishes and Welcome

Electa Quinney Elementary School Administrative Assistant, Missy Jersett, has been a familiar sight to the EQ office for 19 years and for KASD as an Administrative Assistant for a total of 24.  After watching the children become parents and supporting staff and students for all these years, Mrs. Jersett is taking a well-deserved retirement.  Mrs. Jersett has retired as of Oct. 15, 2021.  She shares her thanks to the students and parents of both Electa Quinney Elementary School and New Directions Learning Community for their love and support throughout her career.  She looks forward to time to spend with her husband of 45 years and shared, "Just like a well written book, the next chapter looks to have so much waiting for us to explore together."  Thank you Mrs. Jersett for all you have given our school and district!!!

Mrs. Jersett receiving a gift of appreciation for her years of service
and retirement from KASD Superintendent Mark Duerwaechter.

On October 25th we will welcome a new Administrative Assistant into the Electa Quinney office.  Shaina Carlson will be the new face you will see upon visiting our office.  Thank you for your patience, grace, and flexibility as we move through the transition from Mrs. Jersett to Ms. Carlson.  During the week in between Ms. Haley Quinn, NDLC Administrative Assistant, will be in the office each day to provide support for students, staff and families.  We will also have some additional support for a few hours each day in the office in the next week from some past familiar faces who have worked/subbed in our offices in prior years.  Welcome Ms. Carlson!
