Per the policy, “Parents shall be notified via the student Code of Conduct, Student Handbooks or other appropriate means that body cameras may be used by such officers on District property.” In the future, this policy will be included in our Student Handbook as well. You can access the policy, along with other District policies here. If you have any questions/concerns, please contact the District Office at (920) 766-6100 here.

February Math Tip
Fractions and Time!
What does it mean when people say: Quarter to? Half past? It’s so confusing! When we say things like “quarter to” and “half past”, we are dividing the minutes into fractions, or equal parts! Fractions and minutes are closely related!
Let’s think: There are 60 minutes in an hour, right?
So if I say: it’s half past 7. That means half of the minutes have passed. What’s half of 60 minutes? 30! So it’s 30 minutes past 7:00. That means it’s 7:30!
If I say: It’s quarter past 2. That means a quarter, or one fourth, of the minutes have passed. When we divide 60 minutes into four equal parts, we get 15. So it’s 15 minutes past 2; 2:15!
If I say: It’s quarter to 4. A quarter, or one fourth, of 60 minutes is the same as 15 minutes. When we say “quarter to” that means it takes 15 minutes to get to the next hour. So a quarter to 4 means 15 minutes until 4:00. If we subtract 15 minutes from 60, we get 45! So a quarter to 4 is 3:45! In other words, it takes 15 more minutes to get to 4:00.
Try using this language when talking about time with your child. It will prepare them for lessons in class for years to come!
There is no charge for the testing. A testing technician at the site will provide additional necessary information, and a signed waiver is required for each nasal swab test. Those testing will get a communication with results, and then the results will be reported to the State.
Additionally please feel free to contact the the school nurse at your student's school with any questions or concerns:

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
