Attendance/Tardy Information:
Dear Kaneland Families,
Attendance is a critical factor in a student’s academic success. As we look towards supporting all student academic success we will be communicating attendance patterns more consistently throughout the year. In the upcoming week, you may receive a letter from your child's elementary school regarding their current attendance for the current school year.
The letter you will receive will be from your child's school pertaining to attendance and/or tardies if your child has missed 10% or more of the accumulated school days and/or has accumulated an excessive amount of tardies for the school year. The contact information for your school will be on the letter if you have questions regarding attendance and/or tardies.
We appreciate your continued collaboration in promoting your child’s success at Kaneland CUSD 302. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or updates regarding your student’s attendance/tardies.
Thank you,
Kaneland CUSD 302 Administration Team

On Monday, November 11th, 2024, Kaneland John Stewart Elementary School will be holding a Veterans Day celebration. Please have your child wear red, white, and/or blue clothes.
Veterans will be honored with a morning breakfast which will take place at 8:10 a.m. in the LRC. Our flag raising ceremony will immediately follow in the front of the school at 8:50.
We are inviting Legion members and KST parents or family members who are veterans to join us for both the breakfast and morning flag ceremony. We are hoping to have many veterans in attendance.
The 4th graders will also be presenting an afternoon choral concert that honors veterans in the gym at 2:45 p.m.
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. We hope to see you there!
