Summer School
With the cold and snow gracing our fine state right now, it's hard to believe that it's almost time to register for Summer School Classes!
Summer school at KASD will be held June 10-20th ... classes will run Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m., and online registration will begin Sunday, March 22.

Our 2020 class offerings are already up, so you can see what we have to offer by visiting our Summer School web page.
Also, if you haven't yet set up your Summer School registration account, you can do that now, too ... and make the day of sign up run quickly! Instructions are on the right side of the summer school page.



Infinite Campus - New Absence Request Procedure
Infinite Campus now includes a feature that will let parents excuse their student’s absences using the Parent Portal or the Campus Parent app on their phone. You can still call in your students as you always have by phone, but doing so with the Portal or App will allow you to avoid the phone message or excuse multiple students at different buildings at the same time, if needed.

Simply follow these instructions:
  1. Log in to the Parent Portal by visiting our website at http://www.kaukauna.k12.wi.us and clicking on the icon, or using the Campus Parent App from the App Store.
  2. Click on “More” in the left-hand column underneath the three lines icon
  3. Choose “Absence Requests” from the bottom of the screen. 
  4. Select the student(s) for whom you wish to submit an absence. 
  5. Choose the excuse from the drop-down list that best explains the reason for the absence. 
  6. In the Comments field, include information about the reason for the absence. 
  7. Choose the first day and last day of the absence. 
  8. Choose whether the absence will be for a full day, late arrival, or if the student will leave early.
  9. If you choose Arrive Late, you will be asked for the arrival time. If you choose Leave Early, you will be asked for the leave time and, if returning, the return time. 
  10. Hit “Submit.”
See below for an example of how the screen will appear:



Please note that if your child’s absence is medically excused, you will need to provide a doctor’s note to the school office.

All Things KASD






















Library Update

Tanner has added nearly 300 new titles to the collect. Popular titles include: Dog Man Fetch 22, Hair Love,
 High Five and many more!

The library has circulated over 10,217 books since the start of school to students and staff.

1st grade had a chance to visit the Library Makerspace two times during recess in January.

In January the students worked on problem-solving within literacy and math topics while using both the BeeBots and Osmos.


Health Room
Just a reminder to be sure to send extra clothes with your student in their backpacks for accidents and/or wet clothes from playing outside.  Currently, we are in need of boys pants size 4-7.  Any donations are greatly appreciated.

Parent Calendar Change:
KASD Board of Education approved a change in the 2019-2020 parent calendar.  The change is in February, moving a day off from Friday, February 21st to Monday, February 17th, 2020.  This change will enable certified staff and administrators the opportunity to attend a regional professional development conference with nearly 3000 other educators from more than 20 districts throughout Wisconsin.
You can find the revised printable parent calendar by clicking HERE.

Lunch Options for Tanner:
In an effort to ensure all students get the scheduled lunch recess time, we moved from two hot lunch options to one hot lunch option.  This started on Monday September 16th.  The current menu can be found on the district web site or by clicking Tanner Menu.  Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
