Kickapoo will be participating in a statewide movement to #BeTheLightWI to honor our 2020 Seniors. At some point, we will light our field lights, take pictures, and post those pictures on social media. However, we will not be advertising a common time, but rather be reminded of a core value that we have learned from our athletic experiences: Play our individual roles for the strength of the team, which at this point is to #StayHomeStaySafe for everyone. The better we all play our role, the sooner we will be reunited. Stay safe and enjoy the long weekend.

Dear Kickapoo Area School District Families, As we begin day two of off campus learning we wanted to touch base and offer some guidelines to help each day go as smoothly as possible. We are fully aware this is a complete change in delivering your child’s education and realize, now, more than ever, your role as a parent/teacher will be challenged. We encourage you to stay positive, be flexible, and know that none of this is going to be perfect! All any of us can do is the best we can do! With that being said we have listed some guidelines/FAQ below that we hope can be helpful to you during this time. Hours Per Day? Elementary - 1.5 - 2 MS/HS - 2 -3 Who do I contact with questions? - Your child’s teacher will be your first contact with any questions or concerns. They are available from 8 - 3 each day and will follow up with you in a reasonable amount of time. (End of day emails will be answered the following day.) Some questions will become “themes of misunderstanding” and in the use of time, teachers will address by putting out communications that can answer the same questions from numerous people. Who do I contact with Technology questions the teacher can’t answer? Please contact Mr. Petersen - kpetersen@kickapoo.k12.wi.us What should my child’s daily schedule look like? We encourage you to keep some kind of a routine. However, please know that you do not need to stress out over changes that are bound to happen. Kids should strive to focus on getting their assignments completed but also focus on their own well being. This is a traumatic time for their Social Emotional learning as well and we can’t stress enough to take breaks and get outside for some physical activity and fresh air numerous times per day. Make a daily schedule and calendar that works for your house! How do I know what my child’s grades are? You can still continue to check Skyward. Quarter 3 grades ended last Friday and the current hope is to have report cards sent home later next week. Quarter 4 grades will start on March 31st. We will continue to monitor and discuss concerns around grading effects during this difficult time. We encourage kids to just do their best and stay focused on the specific classroom learning objectives. Who do I contact if my child is struggling with some of the many issues surrounding this difficult time? Mrs. Stinson (kstinson@kickapoo.k12.wi.us) and Mr. Donovan (bdonovan@kickapoo.k12.wi.us) are both available to talk. Send them an email and they will be able to set up a time to talk with your child via phone or using a social media platform. Who do I contact if I would like to still get lunches delivered? You can call the Elementary or MS/HS office and they will be able to get you on the list. 627-1494. All meals are free. mwiegel@kickapoo.k12.wi.us or mrandall@kickapoo.k12.wi.us Please provide the following info: Parent name, Child(s) name, Age of children (18 & under) Is it OK for older siblings to help with my child’s instruction? Yes! With many parents still trying to work and teach their children, older siblings can be an amazing resource. MS/HS kids please help your parents! We will close by saying we understand and know this is a difficult time for everyone. All we can do right now is control the things we can and make the most of the things we can’t. Stay positive and know that we are here to help in any way we can! Please contact us if there is anything you need and know we appreciate all that you are doing! Sincerely, Aaron Mithum - amithum@kickapoo.k12.wi.us MS/HS Principal Kim Johnson - kimjohnson@kickapoo.k12.wi.us Elementary Principal

Free Kickapoo Student Internet (Please share with families who you know may need this.) Attention Parents: Vernon Telephone has graciously offered to connect student households, in their service area, for free. (Criteria listed below) *No current internet customers *No current internet access *No requirement for future paid internet services Although we had compiled a list of these families on the last couple days of school, we want to make sure nobody is forgotten. In an effort to make sure we reach all families, we ask you to please call or email your building principal by the end of the day on Monday. (Please leave your name, child/children’s names and your address.) They will then be able to give names to Vernon Tel to get started on internet installation. Each family will then be able to stop at school next week to pick up a chrome book. (More details on this will come early next week and please be aware of possible changes.)
