Penny War
Quinney Elementary raised over $1,400 for SOAR Fox Cities in the Penny War held Dec. 13-18! Thank you to students and families for giving for our Cougar Council December Caring project and for this worthy cause! Not only does our donation help and support the programs to empower people with differing abilities in our community, but the smiles, spirit, and excitement in the competition between grade levels as they watched the coin buckets grow was fun to see! Thank you again EQ family and friends!!!

PAC NEWS
Thank you Parent Advisory Committee for helping to fund activities at the end of December. Students enjoyed a pre-wrapped store bought treat and various classroom activities with their classmates the last week of school. Staff were treated to a warm beverage from the Benjamin Brewer Coffee Camper. The staff had rave reviews of this special treat!Our next PAC meeting will be Tuesday, January 18th at 6:00 PM. If you would prefer to attend our meeting virtually, please email Mrs. Knapp at knapps@kaukaunasd.org.
iReady Testing
Between January 4-28 all students will be taking the Winter iReady Diagnostic test (Reading approx. 45 min, Math approx. 45 min). They took the same assessment in September when the school year began. The questions on these tests help to show how much students have grown from the fall until now and from year to year. There is nothing students need to prepare for these tests. Suggestions of things that can help your child do their best everyday are--- Make sure your child has a good night's rest
- Have your child eat a healthy breakfast at home or at school.
- Encourage our child to do their best!

Parental Controls for Devices and Online GamesAs colder weather approaches, students are exposed to devices and online games for longer periods of time. Here are some great resources for parental controls:
January = Perseverance
This month we’re talking about the trait of Perseverance. The dictionary defines it as: “Persistence in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success.” The definition we are using in class is:
Perseverance: the ability to work through situations even when there are obstacles or challenges in the way.
A lot of research today is telling us that the highest indicators of success in our kids isn’t just about their grades or their IQ. The number one skill that helps people of all walks of life be successful is GRIT! The ability to persevere in the face of adversity or even failure. Over the course of the month, we will talk about inspiring people who faced many failures before they found success. We will talk about what it means to navigate tough stuff, even when it feels overwhelming or really hard. We will talk about having a Growth Mindset – to see challenges and failure as an opportunity to grow instead of a brick wall.
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).
