I hope you enjoyed the Labor Day weekend and were able to take time to spend it together in some of the activities you like as a family. We do appreciate all that you and your children are doing to make this school year as positive for students to return and learn as possible. 

We completed our FIRST WEEK back and our students did awesome!  I am really impressed at how our students are following the new procedures relating to wearing their masks, navigating the hallways, using the sanitizing stations properly and really adjusting to the recreated normal of this pandemic.  For our virtual learners, I wanted to thank them all for working through the “first week” technical glitches as we all really start to find our groove for our online instruction.  I am confident that it will just get better and better each week as everyone adjusts to the new routines!

Students met our Electa Quinney Staff during our first virtual Assembly last Tuesday.  We invite parents to watch it with your child...

We end our first week every year with an assembly to celebrate our week.  We did the same this week reinventing how we could celebrate together in a virtual manner. Enjoy watching our celebration video that was part of our Friday assembly...

How are your conversations at home about school going? What Went Well Wednesday is Electa Quinney's effort to help our families experience rich conversations about school and continue to encourage a growth mindset for our students.

With many of us as parents as well, we realize the impacts daily schedules and activities have on our children, parents, and families as a whole. We know that "research...reveals...: that parents, of all backgrounds, don’t need to buy expensive educational toys or digital devices for their kids in order to give them an edge. They don’t need to chauffeur their offspring to enrichment classes or test-prep courses. What they need to do with their children is much simpler: talk." We know that our parents want to be involved in their child’s development and schooling; and, we know that a positive attitude and a growth mindset help students be successful.

We hope having no homework on Wednesday's other than to reflect and discuss what has gone well at school will bring a positive light to your conversations at home and what students are sharing about school. http://ideas.time.com/2012/10/24/the-single-largest-advantage-parents-can-give-their-kids/

Guidelines for Picking Up After School

If your child is picked up after school, they will be waiting near the picnic tables on the playground near the corner of the school where there will be supervision until 3:20 PM. In the event that you are late, for the safety of your child, the supervisor will bring them into the office so that you can be contacted.

Leaving for Appointments & Phone Calls During the Day

If your child has an appointment that requires them to leave during the school day, please include a note in the agenda planner.  Having the information in the morning will help the teacher to be aware of when your child will be out.  When you arrive to pick up your child, please ring the buzzer.  Your child will be walked by a staff member to meet you at the door. 

Your phone calls are important to us!  When calling during the school day, please be aware that you may be transferred to the staff member's voicemail if it is during instructional time.  We work hard to avoid interrupting instructional time if at all possible.  If an immediate message is needed, please let the office staff know and that message will be delivered via note/in person to the staff member.

Thank you for understanding!

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.
