THANK YOU -- Hug and Go Drop-Off

Thank you to all of our families for your help with doing "hug and go" drop off in the drop off area on Sullivan Avenue.  We appreciate your teamwork with this so as it makes it work efficiently when work together.   

WEST SIDE of SULLIVAN Avenue (along the playground) works most efficiently for all when used for HUG & GO drop off (blue dotted line on map).  When entering that HUG & GO area of Sullivan...

• please pull forward as far as possible to allow for additional cars. Students exit the vehicle next to the sidewalk
• once you have dropped off your child please exit the HUG & GO area in a timely manner
• No parking or standing please

Additionally, THANK YOU for using CROSSWALKS to cross streets!  Crossing between cars of mid-street is DANGEROUS and we continue to re-teach students to use crosswalks for safety.

It's School Safety Week!

The Kaukauna Area School District makes school safety a top priority. We practice 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 and make informed choices in a potential emergency situation. We have worked collaboratively with our School Resource Officers and the Kaukauna Police Department to provide training for staff with these strategies. To learn more about the ALICE strategies please visit the following webpage:

https://www.alicetraining.com/our-program/alice-training/k12-education/

In recognition of the importance of practicing these drills early in the school year, the Kaukauna Area School District has established School Safety Week. To assist students with understanding all of our safety drills, strategies, and procedures, we have implemented the plan below:

Throughout the 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;

• Students in Grades 5-8 will have an ALICE Safety Presentation in their homeroom class

• Students in Grades 9-12 will have a ALICE Safety Presentation in Flex Time

• All students will participate in a Fire Drill, a Tornado Drill, and Hold / Lockdown Drills

• All students will participate in an 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 student to practice moving to the rally point with their teacher and classmates, please contact the principal.  KHS and RVMS will evacuate on campus only. 

Please know the intent of practicing these drills in September is to educate, to protect, and to stimulate conversation among teachers and students. Your student(s) 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 our Principal, Stacy Knapp.

Hello Quinney Families,

For the past few years, we have found a way to acknowledge students who continually show the Quinney BASE expectations (Safe, Respectful, Responsible) and the students and staff really enjoyed it! So we're going to implement it again this year! Character coins will be handed out to help praise students who are following the Quinney BASE expectations. Students can cash in 5 coins for 1 ticket to use in the school store to purchase something of their choice.  All staff in the building will pass out coins, classroom teachers will give tickets to students and show them the menu before going to the school store to redeem tickets.

PurposeFull Pursuit - RESPECT: 

• • PurposeFull Pursuit:

    Review Respect as a family! Remember that in our lessons we are teaching that Respect means to see value in people and things and treat them with care. Agree as a family to set aside a certain time each day this week to unplug from devices and plug into family time. It shows Respect to practice being present in the moment without the distractions that can come from technology. Debrief and discuss this challenge afterward and commit to this practice at least 1 day each week!

    Conversation Starters:

    • How can you check to see if you understand someone else’s perspective?
    • Why is practicing perspective-taking important when trying to show someone Respect?
    •

Report a Daily Absence

We request that parents/guardians call the automated absence line at 759-6159, call Quinney school at 766-6116 or report the absence on your Parent Portal online account each day your child is unable to attend school. 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, 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.

Leaving for Appointments

If your child has an appointment that requires them to leave during the school day, please enter it in IC parent portal or 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.

PurposeFULL People = RESPECT & KINDNESS

PurposeFull Pursuit - RESPECT: 

A fun way to remind students to show Respect to others is to create a non-verbal cue. As a family, come up with a non-verbal way to cue your student to remember to show Respect to others. An example of this would be anytime you raise the “Respect Rooster” on your hand by closing the middle 2 fingers and bringing your pointer finger and pinky finger up, your student would be reminded to practice living out Respect.

Conversation Starters:

• What is 1 way a family member has shown you Respect lately?
• Share about a time you looked at a situation from someone else’s perspective.
• 
  

PurposeFull Pursuit: KINDNESS 

Find a time to sit in a circle together and celebrate a Kind beginning of the school year! If you want, gather some favorite snacks and play some celebratory music for the occasion. Take turns sharing responses to the following prompts or make up your own! Remember to practice Kindness as you listen to each other.

Celebration Prompts:

• What is 1 way a family member has shown you Kindness this week?
• What is 1 way you want to grow in Kindness toward others this school year?
