Welcome Incoming Kindergarten Families!

Dear Kindergarten Parent(s) and Guardians,

Welcome to Kaneland John Stewart Elementary! What an exciting time for you and your child! The staff and I look forward to working with you throughout this school year to ensure that your child has a positive and rewarding school experience.
Front Office Staff
Mrs. Samantha Aversa - Principal
Ms. Ashley Jeager - Principal Secretary
Mrs. Jessica Bottorff - Attendance Secretary

For the upcoming school year, Kaneland John Stewart will run four extended-day kindergarten classrooms, with half-day students throughout all four classrooms. Mrs. Lori Doll, Mrs. Lisa Druwe, Mrs. Alicia Hardy, and Mrs. Stacey Gacek are our fabulous kindergarten teachers this year. The core and half-day classes will run in the AM from 8:45 - 11:30 am. Extension and enrichment activities for extended-day students will take place in the afternoon.

Specific classroom assignments are made based on the desire to keep classroom characteristics equitable, current enrollment information, specific needs of individual students, and registration in extended-day programming. You can find out who your child's teacher is on August 1st in the Infinite Campus App


Infinite Campus
If you have not downloaded the Infinite Campus app, please do, but you can also access the IC system at www.Kaneland.org. This is an extremely important tool for parents to see all of their child’s school information, payments, fees, emergency contact information, etc.


Kindergarten Orientation/Supply Drop Off
Kindergarten orientation/supply drop off for you and your child will take place on Thursday, August 6th from 4-6pm at John Stewart Elementary. Please enter the main doors - door 1

4:45-5:30 pm Supply drop-off in the classroom with guardians and kindergarteners. Teachers will share the curriculum and important classroom information.

5:30-6:00 pm Self-guided school tour of the rest of the building (Optional for families to complete)

*Please do NOT bring other siblings. We want to make this a special event for our kindergarten students

Kindergarten Supply List

At orientation, you will receive an identification tag for your child to wear on his or her backpack to school for the first few weeks. The color and information on the tag will enable staff to guide your child to the appropriate destinations throughout the school, including which bus to board at the end of the day. Transportation information can be found on the Infinite Campus App in early August. If the transportation information is incorrect or needs to be changed, please let your teacher or the front office know. If your child takes a bus, ALL Kindergarten bus stops require an adult when be present at drop-off to release the student. In the event that you will not be able to attend orientation, please contact the school office to arrange the pickup of your child's identification tag. If you have forms to turn in, this is a great night to drop any forms to the office.

The opportunity to sign up for Parent/Teacher Conferences for the upcoming school year will also be available during your visit, so please make sure to bring your calendar.

Our classroom teachers will also be joined by a few other teachers who support our children. Your kindergartener might also talk about Ms. Gacek and Miss Razim who provide interventions and special education supports with our kindergarten team in addition to a few other teachers in the building.

Summer Newsletter

As we wrap up another wonderful school year, we want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible growth and accomplishments of our students!

 iReady Celebrations

• 1st Grade: Outstanding percentage of students achieving their typical growth expectations

• 2nd Grade: Strong iReady growth in both reading and math

• 3rd Grade: Excellent growth in iReady reading

• 4th Grade: Great growth in both iReady reading and math

• 5th Grade: Great growth in both iReady reading and math

CLICK HERE to view the Results - noted are the % of students on or above grade level, 1 grade level below, or 2 or more grade levels below.

Another exciting milestone was the successful implementation of our new math curriculum, Imagine Math. This year, students were challenged to think critically, solve problems in deeper ways, and explain their thinking with confidence. One of our biggest celebrations has been hearing students consistently use strong mathematical vocabulary and clearly communicate their reasoning during math discussions.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support this year. Together, we have helped our students grow academically, socially, and emotionally. We hope you all have a fun, relaxing, and well-deserved summer!

We are so proud of the hard work, perseverance, and progress our students have shown throughout the year!

Summer Office Hours

The office will be open throughout the summer Monday–Thursday from 8:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. Beginning June 5, the office will be closed on Fridays.

If these hours do not work for you, please call the office to schedule an appointment with Ms. Jaeger. Ms. Jaeger, our Principal Secretary, works throughout the summer and will be available to assist families.

Please note that I, Mrs. Aversa, will be out of the office during the month of July.

If you need assistance at any time, please feel free to call or email us at (630) 365-8170.

Playground Upgrades!
The District will begin updating the playgrounds at all Elementary school locations this summer.

John Stewart - Demolition begins 5/26 with completion targeted for 6/18, followed by a new safety surface in early July.

A quick note on timing: While our contractors will work hard to hit these targets, outdoor construction is always at the mercy of the weather! This schedule is subject to change based on conditions.

We know this is an incredibly exciting upgrade for our community, and it will be tempting for kids (and adults!) to want to sneak a peek. However, for everyone's safety, please maintain a safe distance from the construction zones and stay off the equipment until the playgrounds are officially reopened.

Student Chromebooks

Over the summer months, students in 2nd - 5th grade keep their Chromebooks and chargers at home. Students are able to access educational programs until late July when the systems switch over. Please keep them safe and charged, ready to be used next school year.

New Teacher Information

The information about your child's new teacher will be released in Infinite Campus the first week of August. More information will follow.

Summer Newsletter

I will send another newsletter out in late July to give you updates and helpful back-to-school information

End of the Year Assessments (Next Week)

It’s hard to believe we’re already nearing the end of the school year! Over the next few weeks, students will be wrapping up their learning with end-of-year assessments, including the i-Ready Diagnostic 3 for students in 1st–5th grade.

During recent classroom conversations, teachers have been reviewing helpful test-taking strategies with students, such as:

• Taking their time and doing their best work
• Rereading questions carefully
• Using tools like manipulatives, whiteboards, or paper and pencil
• Practicing positive self-talk to stay confident and focused

We are so proud of how hard our students have worked all year long. These assessments are just one way for them to show all the growth they’ve made. Thank you for your continued support at home—it makes such a difference!

How families can help at home: Making sure your child gets a good night’s sleep, eats a healthy breakfast, comes to school on time each day, and arrives with a fully charged Chromebook can help them feel confident and ready to do their best.

We’re excited to see all they can do—they’ve got this!

Chromebooks Exchange

5th Grade Families 

As part of our commitment to providing students with reliable, up-to-date technology, we are beginning our district-wide Chromebook replacement for grades 5 through 11.

To receive a new device, students must complete a 1-for-1 swap. Please review the requirements and the specific schedule for your student's building below.

What Your Student Needs to Bring:

To ensure a smooth transition, students must turn in the following items in working condition:

• Current Chromebook (must be the one originally assigned to you)
• Power Adapter (Charger) 
• Protective Case

Stewart (KST) 5th Grade - May 4-5 (9:00 - 10:30 AM) Library

• The Swap Rule:

  A new device cannot be issued unless the old Chromebook and charger are returned.

• Chargers:

  If a student has lost their charger, please contact the school's tech office prior to your scheduled date to discuss replacement options.

Thank you,

Kaneland CUSD 302 Technology Department

5th-Grade Clap Out 2025 Guidelines

It is that time again to host our annual tradition of the 5th-grade Clap Out! Many students and families look forward to this tradition, and we are excited to be able to celebrate our fifth-grade students as they move on to middle school! 

• The clap-out will be on Thursday, May 21st at 1:45 pm. 

• The clap-out will take place outside (weather permitting) around the walking path. A map of the clap-out route can be found below. Parents, please arrive by 1:35 to find a spot on the inside of the walking path. 

• We ask that you do not stop your child to taking a picture during the Clap Out. Pictures can be taken after the parade concludes by the Card My Yard Sign (donated by the PTN) that will be located by the baseball fields at the end of the route.  

• Following the conclusion of the Clap Out, you may take your child home by signing them out with their homeroom teacher.

• In the event of inclement weather, the clap-out will be held indoors and parents will be in the gym. 

                        

End of the Year Reminders

End-of-Year Activities: We have many fun activities planned as we head into the final stretch of the school year! Please be sure to mark your home calendars with all upcoming events so we can stay organized and prepared during this busy time of year. I know as a working mom myself—if it’s not on the calendar, it doesn’t happen (I get it!). 😊

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s classroom teacher.

Transportation Changes: As a reminder, please avoid calling the school after 3:00 PM to make changes to end-of-day transportation unless it is an emergency. This is an especially busy time, and it becomes very difficult to locate students and ensure changes are communicated accurately. For last-minute transportation changes, please always call the main office.

Let’s finish strong—only 14 days left!

Teacher Appreciation Week 2026

Get ready to rewind time as we celebrate our incredible staff during Teacher Appreciation Week, May 4–8! This year’s theme is all things 90’s, and we are so excited to honor our teachers and staff with a week full of fun, appreciation, and a little throwback flair.

We would love your help in making this week extra special! Here are a few ways you can join in:

 Shop our Amazon Wish List for items we’ll be using throughout the week
 Sign up through Sign Up Genius if you’d prefer to shop on your own and drop items off at the front office
 Volunteer your time — we’re looking for a few parent helpers each day to assist with set-up and clean-up

To add a personal touch, we’ll be including our teachers’ “Favorite Things” document to help guide your contributions.

Be sure to check out the attached flyer for all the details on each day’s theme and plans—we promise it’ll be all that and a bag of chips! 

Thank you for helping us celebrate the amazing educators who make such a difference in our school each day. We couldn’t do it without you!

IAR Testing 3rd-5th Grade

From April 8–10, our 3rd–5th-grade students will take the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR), with make-up testing April 13–17. This assessment measures progress in ELA, Math, and (5th grade only) Science.
To help your child feel prepared:

• Get a good night’s sleep

• Eat a healthy breakfast

• Arrive on time (students may arrive at 8:40; tardy bell is 8:50)

• Charge Chromebooks nightly

• Bring working headphones

• Encourage a positive mindset

We appreciate your support in helping students feel confident and prepared. If possible, please avoid scheduling appointments during testing. 

IM - Imagine Math Curriculum Information  

As the school year comes to a close, students in kindergarten through fifth grade will participate in an end-of-year local math assessment from the ImagineIM curriculum.

This assessment is designed to provide students with an opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned throughout the year and how they approach mathematical thinking. Some questions reflect grade-level expectations, while others are more challenging and may ask students to stretch beyond what was explicitly taught in class.

The purpose of this assessment is not for students to answer every question correctly. Instead, it allows students to demonstrate perseverance, stamina, and a growth mindset when working through meaningful math tasks.

Throughout the year, classrooms have focused on building strong mathematical practices, including explaining thinking, using multiple strategies, and engaging in productive struggle. This assessment offers a meaningful opportunity for students to show those skills.
Additional information will be shared when assessments are sent home. Thank you for supporting student learning as the school year comes to a close.

Teacher Appreciation Week

We are so lucky to have such an incredible team of dedicated and passionate educators at our school. Their hard work, care, and commitment make a difference in our children’s lives every single day, and I am so grateful for them! 

This year, we’ll be celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week from Monday, May 4th, through Friday, May 8th. Keep an eye out for an email from the PTN or your homeroom coordinator with details on how you can get involved.

If you’re looking for ideas on how to show a little extra love, we’ve attached the Teachers' Favorite Things document to help guide you.

Thank you for helping us celebrate our amazing teachers—they truly deserve it!

Tick Season - Playground
With the beautiful springtime weather, some unwanted pests come to the community! We have had a few reports of TICKS being found on students. Tick season is considered to occur between April and September in the United States. They usually hide in low brush areas waiting to find a host. If left undetected, several types of ticks may cause disease. We suggest that you check your student thoroughly at home after a day of playing outside. For more information, please feel free to reach out to the health office or visit the Centers for Disease Control website (www.cdc.gov).
