Alice Drill - Parent Information
On Monday, November 18, our school will participate in its first Lockdown drill of the school year. The drill will be coordinated with the Elburn Police Department and school personnel, including school mental health professionals. During this drill, teachers will lock their doors, turn off all lights, barricade their classroom doors, and move all individuals within the classroom out of eyesight from classroom doors. The drill will not include simulations that mimic an actual school shooting or active shooter event. Before the drill, teachers will review the procedures with their students to prepare them for what the drill will entail. Following the drill, teachers will debrief with their students. If you have any questions about the drill or wish to exempt your child from participating, please get in touch with Mr. Keith Tankersley, Assistant Principal, at 92967@kaneland.org. Please read the following document for more information
John Stewart Elementary Veterans Day Celebration
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!

Dressing for the Weather
Just a friendly reminder to please check the weather before sending your kiddos to school. We have been having warm days and then really cold days. Please overpack or over-dress your child so they have layers to use during the day. Also, please LABEL their clothes just in case they misplace an item. Our Lost & Found has accumulated a lot of clothes. During Parent-Teacher Conferences please take some time to look at the lost items.
