Please extend my appreciation to your students and staff for the thoughtful gifts sent to the Kaukauna Police Department.  The kind note and treats were very nice, as well as the drawings from the students.  Most of all, the support from our community is immeasurable.  

We will continue to focus our efforts on keeping our city safe.

Thanks for everything you do for our children,

PT Conference Feedback:  Please click here to share feedback on how you would like spring conferences set up this spring.  There are three options to pick from.  Thank you!

Summer School Referrals:  Please see Ty's email regarding this process.  It is very important that you collaborate with all team members that support the students you plan to refer.  If you have questions, please see me.  I'm happy to help with this!

Spring Celebrations - Please start thinking about a date to celebrate student work in your classroom this spring, preferably week of April 24 and/or May 1st.  The purpose of this date is to invite families into your classrooms to view/celebrate student work.  I'd like to coordinate this with the Tanner PAC again as they would like to have the Book Fair during that same time frame.  

National School Breakfast Week - Just a heads up...We will be celebrating Breakfast Week March 6-10.  There is a special menu planned, along with daily prizes.  I know this tends to create heightened behaviors and excitement in the mornings.  Deep breathe ;)

Let me know. 😊

Football - Until further notice, football at recess will be on hold.  Due to some physical behavior and need for referees 😉, have decided a break would be good.  The EAs are brainstorming some other equipment that may be fun.  

Walk to School Month - The prizes are ready for the drawings to begin this week.  Please send any completed forms up to the main office.

Bus Driver Appreciation - If you get a chance, please encourage your students to thank their bus drivers this week.  Many of you are on a bus before and after school as well.  Thank you for showing your gratitude for them as a staff member too.

Random Acts of Kindness Day!


Congratulations, Officer Romenesko - Recently the KPD chose Tyler to be an additional detective on the force.  We are very happy for Tyler and will miss him greatly.  Tyler will remain in the schools until a new SRO has been hired and the on-boarding process is complete.  Please join me in wishing him all the best with his new role.      

Welcome back, Savannah & Megan!

Random Acts of Kindness - Thank you for promoting our project for the KPD and KFD with families and students.  Our sign-up is almost full!  Please bring any donations to the main office.  We will work on sorting everything and getting you your materials for each bag.  

Energy Bus - Thank you for joining me on the Energy Bus journey this year.  Our final presentations of Rule #9 and Rule #10 will happen Wednesday.  We will continue with the Energy Bus theme as we finish the year strong.

It's important to keep movin' and groovin'!
I've been told - "The brain can only handle what the bum can endure!"
