Recess Update
We will be moving away from the 5-6 zones at recess beginning Monday, March 8th and reducing to two large zones on the playground. Less zones will help us with the increasing wet grassy areas of the playground and it will also give students more options on the playground and friends to play with. Grade levels are split in in half (2-3 classes per group) and will have half of the playground to play on each recess. Our elementary schools are excited for some changes for students at recess as we know they have been longing for them for quite some time. We appreciate the work with the Contact Tracing team and our ability to make this change. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. knapps@kaukaunasd.org; 920-766-6116 ext. 6141
With the thaw of snow and more wet areas on the playground we do have students that come in with wet clothing. If you are able to send extra clothing in your child's backpack or to be kept in their locker that would be helpful. Gloves, socks, and pants are what tend to get went. Thank you!

We had a wonderful Read Across America week and first week of #QuinneyReads. We will celebrate reading throughout the week at school by reading a fun ways, with mystery readers, and more.
The PAC is also pairing this event with a Read-a-thon fundraiser, click the blue link to read more and register. Students who register (free, no money donation needed) receive a pencil and classes who reach 85% of their class registering receive gum for a day. Again, there are no donations required, register today!
We have raised $4200 so far. Students had music in at lunch on Friday for the $1000 mark and they will have music three more days this week since we have also reached $2000, $3000, and $4000. Mrs. Ritzke's class will also be picking out a spirit dress-up day for us to enjoy together! Two students have raised $200 or more already meaning Mrs. Knapp will be pied in the face this week and students will all join in on the fun by seeing it on the morning video announcements!
Full incentives for individuals, classrooms, and school wide can be viewed here!
We have also had a few questions asked. Here are some Q & A to help...
I often choose to give a check rather than buy things. If I'm going to spend $100, I'd like the school to get the $100, not any skimmed off the top. Do you know what you are receiving from this organization?
Families do not need to donate online. Check or cash can be sent in an envelope to school with your child's name on it. 100% of cash and check donations goes to the school. A portion of online donations does come off; % varies depending on the amount raised. In the current state of COVID, it is all about parent or donator preference and convenience. If you send in cash/check we will still log it under your children if you register them in the FundHub.
There is a spot for logging reading minutes - is this something we are to keep up with daily for our child?
This is nothing that is required, this is just an option for families who might be promoting their site/child's minutes of reading to other famliy or friends.
I long for the days when the Color Run returns - by far one of my families favorite actives to take part in.
The PAC and staff agree, we love it as well! We are hoping that we will be able to return to it as well. Trying out this fundraising program also gives some benefit for us in seeing the help or applicability for use with a Color Run as well. Our hope is that we might be able to offer the Color Run in the fall of next year as our connection with FundHub will still be available to us.
YEARBOOK DEADLINE is March 15th!
Here is the link for the online ordering of the Electa Quinney yearbook. The link will close on March 15th.
Parents may also go to our website www.networkphoto.net select the FALL PREPAY tab and type in Electa Quinney.
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.
Are you missing any of the following items? They are neatly organized for pick up by your child if you see something that may be yours.
