iReady Testing

This month students are continuing to take the Winter iReady Diagnostic test if they have not yet completed them in class (Reading approx. 45 min, Math approx. 45 min). The questions on these tests help to show how much students have grown from the fall until now and from year to year. There is nothing students need to prepare for these tests. Suggestions of things that can help your child do their best everyday are-- 

• Make sure your child has a good night's rest
• Have your child eat a healthy breakfast at home or at school.
• Encourage our child to do their best!

Community Events and Activity Flyers

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