    Happy National Custodial Day to Daryl, Perry, Amanda and Crystal, along with our maintenance crew Ben, Derek, Kevin, Kyle, and Luke that travel from building to building. Thank you for all you do for our school! 


    Walk to School Day Oct. 4

    Thank you for all those that are able to volunteer for Walk to School day in some format.  Your time and help is very much appreciated.  Please be at the park at 7:15 a.m. to greet students.  Jonen and Little Tykes park walk is 20 minutes so please leave at 7:20 a.m. The Fieldcrest Park walk is a little less so that group could leave around 7:25 a.m.  Stacy will get a banner to one of the staff members in each group.  Thank you for taking a number of pictures either before or during your walk.  If you still want to sign up click here to SIGN-UP TO WALK from a park or to walk during lunch recess with students.  

    If anyone has interest in being Quinney Cougar that morning on the school playground to welcome our walkers, 7:35-7:50, let me know!



    Homecoming Spirit Oct. 2-6

    This week Electa Quinney Elementary will be celebrating homecoming along with the High School. To help all of our elementary students to feel a part of the festivities, we will have dress-up days as follows:

    Monday, Oct. 2: Disney/Superhero Day
    Tuesday, Oct. 3: PJ Day
    Wednesday, Oct. 4: Sports Theme
    Thursday, Oct. 5: Silly Socks or Hat Day
    Friday, Oct. 6: Orange/Black Kaukauna Spirit Wear

    There will be a parade again this year.  It will take place on Wednesday, Oct. 4 at 6:00 PM and will once again be held downtown.  We would like students to enjoy the fun and spirit of the parade so our Elementary Schools will not walk in the homecoming parade.  You can see more detailed information by clicking here.



    Family Event Date Change

    We needed to change the date of the Family Event (prev. Oct. 24) because there is a family event at Tanner planned that night as well and a community truck or treat event at Aurora.  We changed the date to THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19th  5:30-7:00.  This family event will be based on giving parents some exposure to Bridges Number Corner, Workplaces, and Technology options for home.  We will have three classrooms per grade level being used as well as the cafeteria.



    Important things to review...

    If you haven't had the chance yet, please take a moment to review these policies and practices that are important for all to be aware of.  We will touch on them at staff meetings in October...
    • Click to view this helpful Seclusion and Physical Restraint document to learn the important ins and outs about the procedures when needing to utilize seclusion or physical restraint with students.  Full policies -- Policy 445 and 445 Rule
    • 5 year Mandatory Reporter Training coming due for School Safety & Abuse and Neglect. Our last training was in 2018 so it is time for an updated training.  DPI is making changes and we will discuss at our October staff meeting about what is needed to complete the updated Mandatory Reporter Training.  Stay tuned.

    Frontline (prev. My Learning Plan) Now Ready

    The Frontline system is ready for you to begin working in.  The first step is your SLO – Student Learning Objective. Helpful info is included below...
    • This year you have until November 1st to complete your SLO.  
    • SLO is under "Goal Setting Process" in your evaluation are of Frontline.  The document to complete is "Goal Setting Plan".  Your SLO can relate to any of our EQ School Continuous Improvement Plans in Learning and Academics, Safe and Healthy Schools, and Retention/Connectedness.
    • Consider a department or grade level goal as you collaborate and learn together.
    • Self-Assessment – Choose one indicator as a strength in each standard and one indicator as a weakness in each standard.  There are 6 standards.  The  indicators are the statements on the left 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc.  So you will have two boxes filled for each standard - one strength and one growth area.  Write in your one sentence reflection for each.  So twelve boxes/sentences in total.  
    • PPG – Professional Practice Goal -- The PPG tends to get confusing.  This is NOT/should NOT be the same as your SLO.  It should be, what are you going to do in your “own professional practices” to make an impact on…your SLO goal OR maybe one of the areas you noted for growth on the Self-Assessment.  Here are a few examples so you can see the difference between the two SLO/PPG.  Please note that these examples are very detailed, however, that is not necessarily the expectation in your SLO/PPG.
    Highlights from Holly Magness on Frontline Professional Growth Updates: 
    • Frontline Professional Growth is just that, a model for collective coaching, conversations and continuous growth
      • This growth model is evident in that the summative evaluation overall score has been discontinued
      • A rating is still given in each of the 6 standards
    • All "Teacher" Forms have been updated from CESA with the most recent version 
      • When additional certified staff group forms are updated by CESA we will move to those forms
    • The SLO/ PPG and Documentation Log are all included in the Professional Growth form in all of the "Teacher" Updated Forms
      • The Documentation Log will remain a required component only for New 1, New 2 and Summative Year Certified Staff 
      • This means that even though the form is included for all "Teachers" regardless of year, it is only required in the  New 1, New 2 and Summative Year 
      • All other certified staff groups will continue to have the documentation log as a separate form in the New 1, New 2 and Summative Year 
    • When reflecting on Professional Growth, Educators will have a minimum of two reflections in each of the 6 Standards
      • One strength reflection and one area for growth reflection in each of the 6 areas accounts for the two reflections
      • A total of 12 reflections will be completed
      • This has also been the prior practice
    • The "unannounced" formal observation form has been discontinued 
    • A formal observation includes a pre and post conference between the educator and administrator
      • This is not a change and is only included in Summative Year 3 and in the New 1 and New 2 Years
    • All Survey forms are no longer included in the KASD model for certified staff
      • Certified Staff may use a survey or gather feedback and include this as an artifact in a documentation log should they choose
    • Below is a table as a quick reference for staff:

    Yearbook Pictures

    Please add any and all classroom pictures to our 23-24 Yearbook Pictures folder. We are always in need of more photos to use in our school yearbook.

    Just a reminder to keep in mind the Do Not Publish Picture List when uploading pictures. 

    Thank you all! 

    Background Checks

    As we start booking field trips, please remember that your chosen chaperones must have a valid background check on file. Please check with Shaina in the office. HR has stated that only individuals that have been chosen to go on a field trip should be turning in background check forms. Plan accordingly as background checks take about 2-3 weeks to process.
