WI Forward Exam
Week of April 26-30 in the AM -- 4th Grade & 3rd Grade
*See the April 12-16 Family Update for more information and links to tools training.
The estimated time for the test administration in each grade is approximately 70 minutes for ELA, 90 minutes for Mathematics, 90 minutes for Science, and 70 minutes for Social Studies. These are estimated times, as the WI Forward Exam is not a timed test so students work at their own pace.
If you have any questions or concerns about the assessment, please contact the school office.

Placement with Care
The elementary staff will soon be starting the student placement process for the 2021-22 school year. Our goal is to create heterogeneous classroom groups to accommodate the learning needs and styles of every student. The staff at each school spends a great deal of time and effort to determine the proper homeroom placement of children for the coming year.The following factors are considered when seeking to provide the best educational program for all students in any given classroom:
→ Provide a balance by gender, ability, leadership qualities and classroom size.
→ Balancing by gender
→ Balancing by ability levels (below, on, above grade level)
→ Balancing specific strengths and needs, including any special needs, giftedness, or language issues.
→ Maintaining optimal classroom size
→ Create a positive match for students with peers.
- Considerations are given for students who do not work well together, and also for students who may get along “too well,” interfering with learning. Specific behavior needs (such as assertiveness, shyness, attention span and behavior choices) are also considered.
- We also consider information from related arts (music, art, physical education, library media) staff, Pupil Services staff, and 504/Individual Education Plan (IEP) teams are considered based on knowledge and observations of children in multiple environments.
- Parent input. Information from parents is considered as the final step in the process. We find that most parents are comfortable with the classroom placements made by staff. However, we realize that parents can also provide specific information about their child that could be helpful in assisting the student placement process. Parents may choose to provide written input into the placement process via the PARENT INPUT FORM available in the school office (to obtain the input form, you may call the office to request that a form be sent home with your child) or by answering the parent input form questions via email again this year. If you wish to share input, please call the office to request a form or send an email answering the following questions to Stacy Knapp, Principal at knapps@kaukaunasd.org :
- Student’s Name
- Present Grade
- Current Classroom Teacher for 20-21
- Please summarize any characteristics of your child’s learning that you feel we should know.
- Please describe the learning environment in which you believe your child may experience the most success.
- Please provide any additional information about your child that would be of use to us to make an appropriate decision.
➤ The emails or forms with responses must be received by Monday, May 3rd. Emails or forms returned after this date may not be considered.
➤ Completing a form is optional. The intent of this form is to provide additional child-specific information for the placement process, and not to specify a teacher preference. Requests that name a specific teacher may not be considered in the placement process.
➤ Verbal information or requests cannot be honored.
May 3-7 is Staff Appreciation Week
We are having a Super Spirit celebration next week to honor our stronger together Quinney staff!! We would appreciate your help in thanking our staff by “wearing” your thanks in the special spirit days. The list of days will be sent home with students this week! The Electa Quinney PAC has a number of fun items planned as well!
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.
