A Few Weather-Related Reminders
This a friendly reminder, especially as the weather is beginning to change. Parents are expected to drop their children off in the west parking lot. If your child needs help getting out of the car, please make sure to park in a spot. When it starts snowing and they have their snow bag, it might take them a little longer to exit the vehicle. This allows us to make sure we keep all students safe and the flow of traffic moving. When it snows, please send their snow bag. Their snow bag, usually a reusable bag of some sort, should contain, snow boots, snow pants, gloves, and a hat. Please make sure to LABEL all items and the bag. Students will continue to go outside for recess as long as the real feel temperature is above 5 degrees.
Legion members and veterans will be honored with a morning breakfast which will take place at 8:10 a.m. in the teacher’s lounge. Our flag-raising ceremony will immediately follow in front of the school at 8:50. We are inviting local veterans to join us for both the breakfast and morning flag ceremony. We are hoping to have many veterans and Legion members in attendance. These annual events help teach our students about the importance of good citizenship. Please email Mary Kunstman, KST music teacher, at 10274@kaneland.org with any additional questions. If you are a veteran and are able to join us for breakfast, please complete this form - Veterans Day Breakfast RSVP

If you have a family member who is in the military, we would love to honor them at school on our Veterans bulletin board.
