Safety is our highest priority during arrival and dismissal. To ensure that every child is safe, teachers and support staff are assigned to monitor areas and to escort students to dismissal areas. We worked with Kobussen, Safe Routes to School, the City of Kaukauna and the Kaukauna Police Department to form a plan that will help with arrival and dismissal traffic but even more importantly, student safety. Teachers will review before and afterschool procedures with students in the first weeks of school and we want you to know those procedures and practices as well. As a reminder for our families and visitors here are the important information and reminders about arrival and dismissal...
Arrival - 7:35 - 7:50 – Supervision of the children by support staff begins at 7:35 AM. Children should not arrive at school prior to 7:35 AM. Students walking, being dropped off, or taking the bus should report to the playground until 7:45 AM when the first bell rings. Class begins at 7:50 AM.
Walker – Any child who walks off school grounds to either: A. Go home B. To meet a parent parked off school grounds. Staff will accompany walkers to the playground at 3:10 and they will leave from that location. WALKERS CANNOT BE PICKED UP FROM THE STAFF PARKING LOTS DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS. Students are permitted to ride bicycles/scooters to school but are asked to get off their bike/scooter and walk their bike/scooter to the bike rack. Locks for bikes and scooters are recommended as the schools are not responsible for damage, loss, or theft. Walkers are to stay on sidewalk areas and obey school and crossing guard personnel.
Buser – Any child who takes the bus home is considered a buser. If your child is assigned to a bus, please have them use this mode of transportation. Many of our students are assigned to bus transportation, and this is a safe and efficient means of dismissal. Staff will accompany the line of bus students to Gym B to line up and then staff will also walk the bus lines out to load the buses in the bus loop. ALL bus students will unload and load in the front loop of the school. Absolutely no car traffic is permitted in the bus zone at arrival/dismissal times. No vehicles will be permitted in this area during the school day..
Parent/Guardian Drop-off and Pickup – Students being picked up by a parent/guardian will be accompanied to the playground by staff. Parent drop off can take place along Sullivan Avenue, Ann St. or St. Mary’s Place. We ask that Sullivan Avenue is used as a “hug and go” site for parents to drop off. There will be no parking or unattended vehicles. This area is intended for parents to drop their children off and depart.
Parents that are interested in walking with their child to the playground will need to park on Ann Street or St. Mary’s Place. We ask this to help with traffic congestion in the morning.
Any change in arrival/dismissal should be indicated in writing and communicated to the teacher and office staff.
Safety Over Convenience
- Adults and students parking on the opposite of school grounds need to cross at crosswalks.
- Parents are encouraged to use the “Hug and Go” area on Sullivan Avenue. Students are then able to exit cars from the sidewalk side of the vehicle and parents/guardians can continue on their way without delay.
It remains our highest priority to ensure that students arrive and are dismissed from school in a safe and organized way. We ask everyone to correctly follow our pick-up and drop-off procedures. Failure to do so creates chaos, frustration and unsafe conditions. Each family should discuss these drop-off and pick-up procedures together. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in following these procedures, which will create a safe and efficient start and end to each school day.
We have included a map for your reference.
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our building safe! Please let us know if you have questions.
Important reminders:
- North Loop (closest to the building) is for Special Education needs.
- South Loop (closest to County Road CE) is for Staff Parking and K-4 grade Buses ONLY.
- Visitor parking for parents/guardians needing to “enter the building” is located in the North Loop (closest to the building).
- The West side of Sullivan Avenue (along the playground) is best used as HUG & GO drop off. When entering the HUG & GO zone, please pull forward as far as possible to allow for additional cars. Students exit the vehicle next to the sidewalk. Once you have dropped off your child please exit the HUG & GO area quickly. No parking or standing.
Morning Classroom Lines Outside
- All 4th grade students and students in 3-D, 3-W, 3-K line up in the morning at the lines that near the back of the blacktop area where the on the sidewalk goes to the back of the school. The staff will meet students there and bring the classroom lines up the sidewalk together to enter Door #7 at the rear of the school. Line order is on the left below.
- All 2nd grade students and students in 3-G and 3Mc line up in the morning at the lines right outside of Door #11. The staff will meet students there and bring the classroom lines in together through Door #11 after the 7:45 bell. Line order is on the right below.
- We will also have cones with pictures of the teachers on them at the line area.

Quinney 2023-24 Homework Policy
Every night your child will be expected to read 15-20 minutes. Reading at home develops a readerly lifestyle and an enjoyment for reading.
Last year we instituted a No Homework policy. We did find this alleviated some additional stress on families and allowed for more family time with your child. We also found that families wanted more involvement with the home/school connection. As we move into the 2023-2024 school year we will continue to limit homework, however, we may be sending home certain work that we need your help with, along with their nightly reading.
A few possible examples are:
personal narrative ideas for your child
family tree information
star student items and poster filled out
Items needed for special celebrations (100 of something for the 100th day of school)
Again, these are just examples, not all classes will need the above and the examples do not cover everything we might need parent help with.
Assignments may be sent home for your child to work on if they did not finish in class or were absent from school. You will be informed through the agenda or an email home if this is the case.
Please continue to check your child’s agenda every night and sign it.
If you would like to help your child with extra practice at home, please contact your child’s teacher for suggestions.
Thank you so much for your continued support of your child’s education.

School Counselor Updates:
Hello Electa Quinney Families!
My name is Kristin Kozelek and I am one of the counselors here. This is my second year in the Kaukauna Area School District and as part of the Quinney and NDLC community. This year I am fortunate enough to be in the building full time and I couldn’t be more thrilled!
My name is Sam Van Zeeland, and I'm the other school counselor at Quinney and NDLC! I spend half my days at Quinney/NDLC and the other half at Park. I'm looking forward to getting to know you and your students!
Your child will see us every few weeks for guidance as part of the special rotation for all students. We also offer individual and small group counseling for students who need this additional support.
