Celebrating #QuinneyReads - All School Movie 
This Friday, Dec. 23rd from 8-10 a.m. we will be watching the movie Bolt together as a school in final celebration of #QuinneyReads2022.  Bolt was chosen due to the animal theme (including a hamster like Humphrey) and the positive messages of friendship, loyalty, determination, and teamwork.  The EQ PAC is sponsoring an inflatable movie size screen and snacks for our event.  Because the movie is rated PG, we would like to have parental/guardian permission for your child to view a PG movie. Please click here to complete a Google Form including checking your options for permission.

Thank you,
Mrs. Knapp & EQ Staff

    • December Focus = EMPATHY

What is 1 way a family member has shown you Empathy lately?
Share about a time you worked with a family member to resolve a conflict successfully.


    • January Focus = PERSEVERANCE

Perseverance Newsletter:
We all experience challenges in our lives. Moments when we feel like we can’t do it, or that we want to give up. We need to develop tools to help us work through those challenges in order to grow in those moments instead of giving up. This month's focus for 2nd grade is on practicing Perseverance with the help of engagement. 

Conversation Starters:
Can you describe the difference between being getting stuck and having Perseverance?
What does it mean to be engaged at school?

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
