Elementary: Last Day of School Change
At the April 12, 2021 meeting of the Board of Education, the Board reviewed and approved a proposal adjusting the last day of school for students in grades K-4 from June 3, 2021, to May 28, 2021. The purpose of this proposal is to provide each elementary building staff with purposeful time to identify, to analyze, and to plan for the needs of the 21-22 school year in order to best serve the elementary students of the Kaukauna Area School District. Throughout the year, elementary staff have taken on a number of unique challenges that have required them to balance both in-person and virtual learning models due to necessary quarantine situations. Additionally, the steady return of all-virtual students to the in-person model has required staff to meet the demands of the differing levels of each student, both academically and emotionally, upon his/her return to the buildings. These 2.5 additional non-students days will allow staff and collective staff groups to analyze student data to determine what standards have been missed and how to help students meet those standards in the coming year. Staff will have the opportunity to evaluate student learning for intervention plans, to coordinate special education, to review behavioral data, and to determine support needs for the 2021-2022 school year. Please be looking for more information from your student’s Principal regarding the last day of school. We appreciate the support of our families in this decision. Ty Maki Director of Elementary Education
