National Bike Safety Month

National Bike Month is being celebrated in May and is a great opportunity to promote the positive aspects of the activity.  Biking can be a fun way to increase physical activity, reduce traffic, help the environment, and improve both mental and physical health.  By teaching students bicycle safety at a young age it will be giving them the opportunity to have a fun and healthy activity that could last a lifetime.  

With warm biking weather finally here and as a part of National Bike Month, we encourage students to get out and bike for physical activity and enjoyment.  For the remainder of May...

1. We will share with students a calendar to track their biking activity.  When students turn the calendar in they will be entered into a drawing for bike prizes given to us by Safe Routes to School of East Central Wisconsin including bike helmets, t-shirts, sunglasses and more.
2. Students can also submit a picture of themselves on their bike with their helmet on to be hung in the lobby OR make sign/poster about bike safety to be hung at school to receive an additional entry for the prize drawing! 

A Note from Chartwells…

With the end of the school year fast approaching we ask that you take note of your child/children’s lunch account balance.  Accounts will have to be brought up to date by the end of the school year.  If we do not receive payment by Tuesday, June 11th, 2019, and the account balance is more than a $20.00 negative it will be sent to the Kaukauna Area School District Collection Agency.  

If you choose to let your child/children’s lunch account balance go below the $5.00 mark because of the end of the year, please remember the Kaukauna Area School District Messenger Service will continue to contact you.  This is an automated service and cannot be turned off.  

Remember to make each day a safe and healthy one!

Placement with Care

The elementary staff will soon be starting the student placement process for the 2019-20 school year.  Our goal is to create heterogeneous classroom groups to accommodate the learning needs and styles of every student.  The staff at each school spends a great deal of time and effort to determine the proper homeroom placement of children for the coming year.

The following factors are considered when seeking to provide the best educational program for all students in any given classroom:

→ Provide a balance by gender, ability, leadership qualities and classroom size.

→ Balancing by gender

→ Balancing by ability levels (below, on, above grade level)

→ Balancing specific strengths and needs, including any special needs, giftedness, or language issues.

→ Maintaining optimal classroom size

→ Create a positive match for students with peers.

Considerations are given for students who do not work well together, and also for students who may get along “too well,” interfering with learning.  Specific behavior needs (such as assertiveness, shyness, attention span and behavior choices) are also considered.

We also consider information from related arts (music, art, physical education, library media) staff, Pupil Services staff, and Individual Education Plan (IEP) teams are considered based on knowledge and observations of children in multiple environments.

Parent input. Information from parents is considered as the final step in the process. We find that most parents are comfortable with the classroom placements made by staff.  However, we realize that parents can also provide specific information about their child that could be helpful in assisting the student placement process.  Parents may choose to provide written input into the placement process via the PARENT INPUT FORM available in the school office.  To obtain the input form, you may stop in the office or request that a form be sent home with your child. 

Please note that:

➤ Input forms must be returned to the school office no later than Friday, April 26, 2019.  Forms returned after this date may not be considered. 

➤ Completing a form is optional. The intent of this form is to provide additional child-specific information for the placement process, and not to specify a teacher preference. Requests that name a specific teacher may not be considered in the placement process. 

➤ Verbal information or requests cannot be honored.

 Forms need to be returned to the school office no later than Friday, April 26, 2019. 

TAKE YOUR CHILD TO WORK DAY - THURSDAY, APRIL 25

In order to help the student, employer and the District prepare, we have established the following procedures:

Prior to Take Your Child to Work Day:

1. Since regular class instruction will be held on this day, your child will be required to make up any missed work. 
2. Please notify the school at least two days in advance of your child’s absence for participation in this program.
3. Please request a “Take Your Child to Work Day” form from the school office/teacher.


After participating in Take Your Child to Work Day:

4. All 4th – 12th grade students should complete the questions on the reverse side of the Verification Form. (2nd-3rd grade students do not need to answer the questions)
5. Return the completed form, with employer’s signature, and responses to questions (if applicable) to school the following day.  This form must be returned Friday, April 26 in order for the absence to be excused.


Parents are encouraged to investigate the option of doing this activity on a non-school day (e.g. summer, in-service day or Saturday).  If April 26th is the preferred day, we appreciate families taking the afternoon for the visit as some classes have Forward Exam testing that morning. Thank you for helping to make the day a valuable learning experience for your child.  FORMS ARE AVAILABLE IN THE OFFICE.
