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 16 and September 20 . 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 (tentatively planned for Monday)
• Tornado Drill (tentatively planned for Wednesday)
• Hold/Lockdown Drill
• Evacuation to Rally Points Drill (tentatively planned for Tuesday) (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.

ABC Raffle Prizes

Hello Quinney Families,

Last year, we tried something new 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. One or two of these prizes are time spent with a teacher and a friend. The other prizes are donated by staff and families. If you would be willing to donate prizes we would greatly appreciate your support.

We’ve made it easy for you by creating a wish list 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.

You may also find items at your local store as well. These items should be new and please keep the cost/value between $5.00-$15.00. Example items purchased from Hobby Lobby last year were: Venus Flytrap Kit ($9.00), Slime Kit ($8.00), Emoji Journal Kit ($6.24), and Painting Rock Cactus Kit ($7.00). You may send it in with your child or drop it off in the office. Please label it Quinney ABC Raffle Prize.

Thank you so much for considering our request.

Parent Advisory Committee Meeting

We have such a great team and wonderful plan for this year's Electa Quinney PAC! It will be easy to join the group at this time. We will work together to provide awesome events and school spirit and support. Volunteering with the PAC can be so rewarding to you, to your children and our staff. Why should you come to this meeting? Being a part of PAC and volunteering with Quinney helps your child, our teachers and staff, and provides a sense of community and family for our school. I hope to see you there!

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.
