Rollerblading Unit
It's that time of the year again to start the excitement of rollerblading in physical education classes. While equipment is provided by the district, if your student has any equipment that they want to bring to school it would be appreciated. Equipment used are rollerblades, knee and elbow pads, helmets, and wrist guards. Students with their own helmet won't have to wear hair nets. Equipment is sprayed with a disinfectant between classes. A second pair of socks on physical education days are encouraged.
- Mr. Halloran's classes will start on Monday, January 10th and finish up on Friday January 28th.
- Mr. Halloran's classes: 4-Sprangers, 4-Herlache, 4-Durrant, 4-Cooksey, 3-Kieckhafer, 3-Gill, 2-VanAsten, 2-Ritzke, 2-Owen, 2-VandeVoort

PAC NEWS
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!
Perseverance Conversation Starters
Use these conversation starters about Perseverance at home this month with your children.- Have you ever heard the word stick-to-it-tive-ness? What do you think it means? When have you shown stick-to-it-tive-ness? How did sticking to something show Perseverance? When have you decided not to stick with something? What happened? What did you learn? How, if at all, might you do that differently?
- “Positive self-talk” is when we say encouraging words to ourselves in our minds and sometimes out loud. What does positive self-talk have to do with Perseverance? Can you name some examples of positive self-talk that you can use when faced with a challenge? Examples:
- Even though this is tough, I am going to keep trying.
- If it gets too hard, I can ask for help.
- Sometimes things don’t go as planned and that’s ok.
- Share a personal story of Perseverance with your child. What were your challenges? What or who helped you persevere? What tangible steps did you take? What lesson did you learn?
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).
