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.

School Store
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.

Bridging Brighter Smiles
Picture Retake Day
PurposeFULL People = RESPECT & KINDNESS
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?
Helpful Links
Students thrive best when there are strong links between home and school. Therefore, Electa Quinney encourages regular and open communications between home and school. For environmental reasons, the school endeavors to have as much 'paperless' communication as possible. While the teachers maintain regular communications with parents regarding their individual child, the following channels are available for communications at the school level.

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).
