Wisconsin Forward Exam Testing

Each spring our students in grades 3 & 4 participate in the WI Forward Exam testing. Grade 3 will receive testing in ELA (English Language Arts) and mathematics. Grade 4 will receive testing in ELA (English Language Arts), mathematics, Science and Social Studies.
 The WI Forward Exam will be given within the established testing window of March 20-April 28.
 Please contact your child's classroom teacher or the office with any questions.



Color Run


Save the date on your calendar - Our end of the year celebratory Color Run event will be held in the early evening on Thursday, May 18th. This will be our 5th annual Electa Quinney Color Run!

This year the color run will be in the evening for both students and families to participate. The run/walk will take place around Electa Quinney School (typically a 1.5 mi format). Participants will be showered with colored powder, made of food-grade corn starch, at color stations along the route. We refrain from booklet sale fundraisers and use this as our main fundraiser; beyond the cost of materials and the event, the remainder goes to benefit the students supporting end of the year activities and future events such as teacher classroom materials, student birthday books, speakers, field trips and assemblies, family/community events, and more.


$6,420.44 was raised by 115 registered students between EQ and NDLC (our goal was $5000)!!!!!!  Gym A will be named after Mitchell in Ms. VanAsten's class!!

It takes about 4 weeks to process registrations/donations and to send out the thank you gifts. As soon as we get them, we will hand everything out!




Fang's Reading Program

The homerun base cutout is due to your child’s teacher on Friday, March 24th for those Electa Quinney students are participating in the Fang’s Reading Club with the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers!!!!

Students read their reading minutes to earn a free soda, hot dog and ticket voucher to Family Night at the Timber Rattler Game on Friday, May 12th at 6:40pm.  

The reading program concludes on March 24th!

MARCH Focus = COOPERATION


PurposeFull Pursuit:
Find time to sit in a circle together and celebrate all the ways you have seen each other practice Cooperation and perspective-taking. Take turns sharing responses to the following prompts or make up your own! Remember to practice Cooperation as you listen to each other.

Conversation Starters:
  • What is 1 way a family member has shown Cooperation lately?
  • Share about a time you looked at a situation from someone else’s perspective.

Lost & Found Items

Here are the current items in our lost & found located in the front lobby. If any items belong to your student please email Shaina at Carlsons@kaukaunasd.org - she will be sure to get the item to your student. All items in the lost & found will be donated if not claimed on Friday, March 31st.












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
