Wisconsin Forward Exam Testing

Each spring our students in grades 3 & 4 participate in the WI Forward Exam testing.  The WI Forward Exam will begin this week and continue through April 28.

Tips for Parents
1. Make sure your child gets plenty of rest the night before test sessions.
2. On the morning of the test sessions, your child needs to get up in plenty of time so he/she won't feel rushed.
3. Feed your child a good breakfast. Research shows that children do better on tests if they have had a good breakfast.
4. Do as much as you can to make your child feel comfortable. Try not to say things to make him/her feel more nervous.
5. Reassure your child that no matter the outcome of the test you will still love him/her. Encourage them to simply do their best.

APRIL Focus = COURAGE



PurposeFull Pursuit:
Discuss with your student things you both would’ve liked to do, but find intimidating. Maybe it’s a new hobby, sharing your art or invention with others, or going on an adventure somewhere. Go out there and give it a try, then take a selfie to capture the memory!

Conversation Starters:
  • What are some changes we have had here at home? How do you think you handled those changes?
  • How does using flexible thinking and showing Courage help us work through the changes in our life?


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.

Community Events and Activity Flyers

There are a great many worthy undertakings in the Kaukauna Area School District that understandably deserve public support.
