SHIELD Testing
KST will be SHIELD Testing every Tuesday from 10:30 - 11:00am with a designated grade level schedule. Students who have opted in have done a fabulous job and are really getting the hang of the routine. We are working on having the students do the process independently and all are learning very quickly.
If you have not Opted In and would like to do so, please visit our SHIELD Illinois Information page and complete the Consent Form.
Moving forward, please know that all test results are negative, unless you receive a call from Kaneland administration. We will report the weekly SHIELD testing results on our COVID-19 Weekly Dashboard, which is updated each week (by Sunday evening) for the prior week.
Water Bottles
A reminder to send water bottles with your student(s) daily as we are still not using the water fountains to drink directly from. Students have access to the water bottle filling station to refill their bottles as needed throughout the day.
Parking Lot Reminders
Please remember to use your TURN SIGNAL when entering and exiting the parking lot. This really helps our wonderful crossing guard, Mrs. Fair.
Also, please remind your child(ren) to use the crosswalk with the crossing graud to ensure all safely cross to the other side.
Flip Flops/Slides
Please refrain from having students wear flip flops or slides while at school as they are unsafe when they are playing outside at recess. Sandles should have a back strap on them to ensure they stay on the child's foot.
SEL (Social Emotional Learning) Supports For Home
