      Monthly Student Raffle Prizes

      Hello Quinney Families,

      For the past few 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.

      Meet our School Counselors



      My name is Kristin Kozelek and I am one of the counselors here. This is my second year in the Kaukauna Area School District and as part of the Quinney and NDLC community. This year I am fortunate enough to be in the building full time and I couldn’t be more thrilled!



      My name is Sam Van Zeeland, and I'm the new School Counselor! I spend half my days at Quinney/NDLC and the other half at Park. I'm looking forward to getting to know you and your students!



      Your child will see us every few weeks for guidance as part of the specials rotation for all students.  We also offer individual and small group counseling for students who need this additional support.

      Please feel free to reach out to either one of us at any time about any questions or concerns you have for your child.

      Report a Daily Absence

      We request that parents/guardians call the automated absence line at 759-6159 or report the absence on your Parent Portal online account each day your child is unable to attend school. These services are available for your use before and after school hours. Please indicate the reason your child will not be at school. If your child will be absent due to illness, please include specific illness symptoms. Our Administrative Assistant will follow up on any unexcused absence according to the Student Attendance Policy #430. If a call or previous notification of an absence has not been received by 8:00 AM, (or 12:30 PM for afternoon 4K students) you will be called to determine why your child is not in attendance. This will assure both you and the school that your child is safe.

      PurposeFULL People


      This month’s focus is Respect. One way to think about Respect is “seeing value in all people and things & treating them with care.” Many people feel Respected in different ways and we hope this month inspires discussions with your family about what Respect means to you and how you can practice it together!

      NEW:  No Homework Model


      After much discussion and research we have decided to move to the “No Homework Model”. We hope this alleviates some additional stress on families and allows for more family time with your child. Research says that homework in Primary school has zero effect on academic achievement. Your child will not be bringing home nightly homework, but will be expected to read 15-20 minutes each night.

       Your child’s teacher may be sending home additional items for your child to work on if they did not finish in class. The teacher will be in contact with you if this is the case.

      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
