Everyone, thank you for helping me in extending a warm welcome and support as she eases back into the rhythm of the school days. You have been missed Hannah and we're thrilled to have you back with us!

Child Care Needs Assessment
Child care shortages nationwide have been an ongoing topic in news stories, among politicians, and in our local communities. Adequate access to quality, affordable child care is critical for families as well as our local economy.
The Kaukauna Area School District is currently gathering data in order to learn more about access to child care in our community, and how that impacts our staff, our families, and our local businesses.
As a KASD staff member, we would appreciate your input and perspective as we gather information about our local child care needs. Please note that the intent of this survey is solely to gather information and data around this issue, and it is not a commitment to any particular solution or future direction for the District.
If you could please fill out this brief Child Care Needs Assessment (4-5 questions) by Friday, December 15, it would be greatly appreciated. Even if you are not currently in need of child care for your own family, as a staff member and community member, your perspective on this topic is valuable.
