KCSS Preschool / Prekindergarten
Program provides an exceptional experience for children ages 3-5. We
strive to help children develop a positive self-image by helping them
develop emotionally, socially and spiritually.
Our program consists of work, play, story time, snack time (includes
prayer) and:
- Music (singing), finger plays
- Pre-academic skills
- Art Activities
- Games and outdoor play
- Large and fine motor skills
Preschool Sessions &
Prekindergarten
Sessions
Weekly Sessions consist of 1 or 2 days a week
for 3-4 year olds and 3 or 4 days a week for 4-5 year olds.
|
Children must be 3 years old by September 1 for the preschool program and 4
years old by September 1 for the prekindergarten program.
1 session per week - $510.00/school year
2 sessions per week - $775.00/school year
3 sessions per week - $990.00/school year
4 sessions per week - $1160.00/school year
Fundraising: Preschool/Prekindergarten families do not have a
fundraising requirement as our K-8th grade families do ($150). You may, however,
choose to participate in a fundraiser in which you would be eligible for a 50/50
split of your fundraising sale profits. For example, if you earn $100 in
fundraising profits, $50 would be credited toward your tuition and the other $50
will go toward improving the quality of KCSS education in the areas of
technology, fine arts and teacher salary increases.
The cost of hot lunch is $1.65 per day when ordered weekly and $2.05 when
ordered occasionally. Adults may eat for $2.10 also. The menu will be online in
the weekly news. The total cost for the week or month is listed on the menu.
If ordering weekly, please send money the Friday or last day proceeding the
week of lunch. please put the money/check in an envelop with the family name,
the names of the students, date and grade. If you have students at Holy
Cross Campus, please send a separate check/money with that child to the Holy
Cross Campus.
Class Times: Morning Session 8:10 - 10:55
Afternoon Session 12:10 - 2:55
It is not necessary to arrive more than 5 minutes before class time. To arrive
earlier deprives the teacher of valuable preparation time. If you must arrive
early please wait with your child quietly in the hallway until the classroom
door is opened and we greet you.
Enter from Main Avenue (second driveway) and park in the back parking lot.
Preschool 3 & 4 year olds enter the single door west side of the building.
Prekindergarten 4 & 5 year olds enter the double doors south side of
building.
Parents, grandparents and sitters are required to escort students to and from
the classroom. Please notify the teacher if special arrangements are made.
If you are going to be late, please call the office at
920-766-5199.
Field trips are scheduled throughout the year. A permission slip will be sent
home a week before each trip. Children must have a signed permission slip in
order to take part in a field trip. Younger siblings are not allowed to come on
field trips. This is a distraction for our preschoolers / prekindergartners and
also to the parent who is supposed to be watching the preschoolers /
prekindergartners. Thank you for understanding.
A few items are required for each child: See teacher letter in start-up
packet for the list of supplies.
- School Bag - Please send a school bag with your child each day. It
should have your child's name on it and be large enough to hold art
projects.

$18.00 Total due at orientation
- Tuition payment if possible.
Please have the correct amount if you will be paying with cash. Make checks payable to KCSS.
Thank you.
On Early Dismissal Days our afternoon class will join the morning class so
they don't miss out on class time. This happens 6 or 7 times a year. The
children actually enjoy these days with their new friends. The days are marked
on your school calendar so you can plan ahead.
Call the school office by 7:50 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. if your child will be
absent.
When you need to take your child out of school for an appointment, family
matter or sudden illness, you must stop in the school office and
sign your child out before the child leave the school building. If you bring
your child back the same day, you will need to come to the office and note
the time of return on the sign-out form. You are not allowed to go directly to
your child's classroom without reporting to the office first.
If you child is ill with diarrhea, throwing up, fever, please keep them
home until they are free of these symptoms for 24 hours. Also chicken pox,
rubella, strep, pink eye or other communicable childhood diseases, please keep
him/her home at the first sign of breakout and notify school. The Health Code
requires children to remain home a specified number of days, to protect other
students and staff to prevent outbreaks.
Wisconsin Department of Health and Social Services' Student Immunization Law
Requirements:
- 4 DTP/DT
- 3 Polio
- 1 MMR
- 3 Hepatitis B
- Varicella (Chickenpox) Vaccine
If your child received the third dose of DTP/DT or Polio after their 4th
birthday, further doses may be recommended but not required.
Please dress your preschooler/prekindergartner appropriately for a busy,
active day. We recommend children wear tennis shoes not dress shoes. We wear
smocks for painting projects, but we can't guarantee their clothing won't get
dirty.
Children should be dressed according to the weather. That includes hats, boots,
mittens, etc. in the winter. Please label! We usually send a note if we
plan to go outside, but you never know when we'll get an unexpectedly beautiful
winter day!
Conferences will be held as needed. If you have any concerns about your
child's progress, please feel free to contact us. We will do the same if we have
a concern. Progress reports will be sent home in January and May.
Birthdays are very special in preschool and prekindergarten. You are welcome
to send a healthy treat (please refer to the healthy snack list in your
start up envelope) for your child's birthday. Please let us know a few days in
advance if you plan to send a treat. Students who have summer birthdays please
discuss the celebration time with us.
We believe Show and Tell in preschool and prekindergarten is very
special. We will provide information on orientation day. Please try to
participate in this activity. It is very important to your child.
A snack with milk is provided daily. The children will take turns bringing a
healthy
snack. A monthly calendar will be provided telling you when your child needs to
bring a snack. A snack bucket will be sent home with your child when it is his
or her turn to bring in a snack. The snack should be a healthy one. Please do
not send cookies, cupcakes, candy, etc. Some ideas for healthy snacks include
crackers, fruit, Teddy Grahams, yogurt, pudding cups, cheese, raisins, popcorn,
or any other healthy ideas you may have. Your child's teacher will let you know
how many snacks to send for your child's class.
An emergency card for your child is to be filled out and kept in the office
stating your wishes in case of an emergency. If you change doctors, or there is
a change in your child's health, please inform the office. Also, if there is a
change of employment, address, or phone number, please notify the office.
Preschool will not be in session whenever the Kaukauna Area School District
closes due to inclement weather. If there is a delay in starting there will be
no class in the a.m. However, p.m. classes will have regular class. Radio
station WHBY-1150 AM and Channel 11 will have this information for you.
Please do not call the school office.
