Veterans Day - Thank you 

A huge thank you to Mrs. Kunstman (music teacher) and all of the staff that made Veterans Day extra special for our Service members and families. We are very grateful and thankful for the day. Hopefully next year we can have even more service members attend the celebration!


If you missed the performances, please see the live streaming event on our Facebook page: John Stewart Elementary  You do not need a Facebook account to view the Livestream. After the event is over, we will archive the video and it can be found on our YouTube channel: KST Video 

 

Need Lunch/Recess Monitors!!

We still need 1 more Outdoor Recess Monitor at KST. It is M-F from 10:55 - 1:30. If you can only work a few days a week and know of someone else who can work the other days of the week, we would be happy to have any support we can get.  If you are interested, please CLICK HERE to apply! If you have more questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to Mrs. Aversa (10017@Kaneland.org) or Ms. Waller (58992@Kaneland.org)


Diabetes Awareness Month - Wear BLUE Friday 11/19

We have a student with diabetes that would like to bring awareness during Diabetes Awareness Month. She has created a presentation that shared basic information about diabetes that may be shared with your child's classroom. If you would like to participate in this awareness, please feel free to wear BLUE on Friday, November 19th.


Exploratory Choice Day

Students always enjoy Exploratory Choice Day!! Please read this presentation from the Exploratory Team regarding more information on what Exploratory Choice Day is and the requirements for Trimester 2 and 3. 


Winter Gear 

Please know that all students will go outside for their daily lunchtime recess when the wind chill is above 5 degrees. It is important to dress your children for the weather. Warm coats, hats, gloves, and boots, labeled with your child's name, are recommended. When it starts to snow more regularly, boots and snow pants are required if your child wants to play in the snow.
