Adopt-A-Family
Adopt a Family program is a very rewarding and heart-warming way to help some of our neediest families in our community. By participating in the Adopt-A-Family program, you can help with the needs of an entire family. You can adopt a small family, a large family or multiple families. The Salvation Army will provide the ages, sizes and wish list of each child. This is a perfect holiday project and works for any budget. If you wish to participate, click the link Adopt-A-Family
Tanner Library - Mrs. Sager
We have new books in the library! I will be previewing them with classes on their next check out. I hope the students are as excited about new books as I am.
Parenting Resources
Are you looking for great parenting resources to help you support your children socially, emotionally and academically? Here are a couple of wonderful websites and articles from our School Counselor Mrs. Charneski:
https://pbswisconsin.org/education/early-childhood/ - offers fun activities, parenting tips, and age appropriate games and apps
https://www.commonsensemedia.org/ - offers an in depth look at media content and what is age appropriate and healthy for children and teens. Includes book, television, video game and app reviews. Helps parents navigate the fast paced world of changing media trends.
https://hms.harvard.edu/news/screen-time-brain - an interesting study on the effects of screen time on young developing brains.
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:
- 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.
- Click on “More” in the left-hand column underneath the three lines icon
- Choose “Absence Requests” from the bottom of the screen.
- Select the student(s) for whom you wish to submit an absence.
- Choose the excuse from the drop-down list that best explains the reason for the absence.
- In the Comments field, include information about the reason for the absence.
- Choose the first day and last day of the absence.
- Choose whether the absence will be for a full day, late arrival, or if the student will leave early.
- 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.
- Hit “Submit.”
Please note that if your child’s absence is medically excused, you will need to provide a doctor’s note to the school office.
