September 2025

Beginning of the Year Team/Staff Presentations

Are you looking to meet your child's team and teachers? Click here to access a document that houses all of the information you'll need to better understand your child's day at Harter. Rather than receiving multiple emails, we put all links in one document.

yearbookordercenter.com

Harter's school code: 14512

PTO Happenings

Our next No Cook Knight will take place on September 18th at Paisano's (both locations) and they will accept orders all day. Make sure you mention the KHMS PTO when ordering. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to our fabulous PTO.

Our next PTO meeting is September 24th at 7:00 p.m. It's a virtual meeting and you can join by using this link.

KORT Hours and MobileServe

Did you know that if your child completes 30 hours or more of documented community service in their time here at Harter Middle School, they earn a Knights of the Round Table (KORT) award? Students can earn these hours by doing things at community events, helping out the elementary and middle school parent-teacher organizations (PTO/PTA/PTN), Performing Arts Boosters, and Kaneland Arts Initiative, as well as doing things within the community and neighborhood like working at a food pantry, serving a meal at a place of worship or just helping an elderly or disabled neighbor with yard work or snow removal.

Even more exciting is the fact that KHMS has partnered with an online app called MobileServe to help make tracking these hours easier than ever before. No more paper forms that can get lost or torn. Instead, simply have your child log the hours on the app on their phone, include the supervisor’s email address and an email is sent to the organization for verification. Once approved, the hours will appear on your child’s dashboard so that you know exactly how many hours they have completed.

Signing up is easy, but we do ask that you help your child to ensure that they sign up with the correct code. Codes are based on a student’s anticipated Kaneland High School graduation year. KORT hours that your child may have logged via a paper form since beginning at KHMS will be uploaded to the platform so that you know how many they have logged, but please be patient as this will take some time to get done.

If you would like to create an account for you child, you may follow the directions below:

Step One: Open the app or go to app.mobileserve.com & select Sign Up.

Step Two: Enter your name, birthday, and create a password. You can skip the Employer / School box. Please use your Kaneland email address for your email. Select Next.

Step Three: Add an optional photo to your profile or skip. Select Next

Step Four: Enter the 6-digit code that applies to your child:

KHS Class of 2030 - BE3233

KHS Class of 2031 - A9E503

KHS Class of 2032 - 439A0E

Select "Join".

Step 5: Select any activities that you are part of at HMS - Athletics, Student Council, Snowflake, Drama/Music

Step 6: Start logging your activities!

How to Log Hours (video)

How can my child find opportunities?

MobileServe partners with some local organizations to post opportunities. Those can be found on the Opportunities tab on the mobile app or the web app. Additionally, KHMS will send out invitations to students for community service opportunities that are happening at Kaneland district schools, events, etc. Students will receive those invitations via email and through push notifications on their mobile device where their app is loaded.

Harter Middle School is currently working on getting these opportunities loaded into the MobileServe App

The Lost Boutique aka Lost and Found

We already have a bunch of water bottles and clothes in our Lost Boutique. If your child is missing anything, ask them to check our lost and found.

August 2025

From the Desk of the Principal

Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year at Kaneland Harter Middle School. I hope your summer provided time to rest, recharge, and enjoy all of the offerings summer brings with friends and family. As we step into this new academic year, I am filled with pride and excitement to continue working with such an exceptional learning community.

At KHMS, we remain committed to creating a positive, supportive, challenging, and engaging learning environment where every student can grow academically, socially, and emotionally.

I am excited to welcome KIPLA (Kaneland IgKnight Personalized Learning Academy) to Harter Middle School. The Academy will strengthen our tradition of excellence at KHMS and I look forward to seeing this program flourish under our roof.

To our students - get ready for a year filled with opportunities to learn, lead, and make lasting memories. To our families - thank you for your partnership and trust. To our staff - your dedication and passion make a difference in the lives of our students and I am grateful to lead alongside you.

Let's make this school year our best one yet!

Proud to be a Knight!

Brian Faulkner, Principal

Important Dates & Information to Start the School Year

***Schedules, locker assignments, and bus route information will be available in Infinite Campus on August 1st after 3:00 p.m.

***Please note that schedule requests or schedule changes cannot be accommodated. The scheduling process takes time and involves numerous variables and our team has worked hard to provide each student an individualized schedule based on student need and data.

Jump Start to Middle School for 6th Graders (August 4th - 8th - 8:00-10:00 a.m.)

Due to the requirements for staffing Jump Start, we are not taking walk-ins and a 6th grade student must be registered to attend.
Jump Start is a full week program that prepares 6th grade students for their middle school transition. Our students will get to know the building, learn their daily schedule, practice opening their locker, make new friends, and better understand a typical day as an KHMS student.
Students should be dropped off and picked up at door 20 (student entrance).
More specific information will be sent on August 1st to the parents that have registered their child for Jump Start.

Jump Start for KIPLA (August 5th - 12:00-2:00 p.m.)

All KIPLA students are invited to our KIPLA Jump Start from 12:00-2:00 p.m.
Students should be dropped off and picked up at door 20 (student entrance).

Jump Start for New 7th & 8th Grade Students (Thursday, August 7th - 10:30 a.m.)

All new 7th and 8th grade students are invited to our New Student Jump Start that starts at 10:30 a.m. and concludes at 11:30 a.m.
Students should enter door 20 and head to the cafeteria. Students can be picked up at door 20 at 11:30 a.m.

Open House (Wednesday, August 6th - 9:00-11:00 a.m. & 4:00-7:00 p.m.)

Open House provides our students an opportunity to self-tour the building, locate their classes, find and practice opening their locker, and put away school materials in their locker.
Please have Infinite Campus available on your phone or print your child's schedule and locker information before coming in. We will not have a table with schedules or locker information.
There are no formal presentations as this is simply an opportunity for students/parents to come into the building before the school year starts and be prepared for the first day of school. This is not a drop your child off event and we expect parents to be with their child.
Our Health Office staff will be here for Open House. Please feel free to use this time to drop off physicals, immunization paperwork, medications, and other health related items.

First Day of School

Our first day of school is Wednesday, August 13th. Our school day is 7:25 a.m. - 2:40 p.m. You can view our daily schedule here.

Picture Day (Thursday, August 21st)

More information regarding pictures will be emailed soon. For now, please mark your calendars.

Finding Your Child's Schedule & Other Information

Schedule - Bus Information - PE Uniform & Lock - Food Service

Linked here is the Campus Parent Portal informational doc. It contains all the information you would ever need when navigating Infinite Campus

On Friday, August 1st after 3:00 p.m., you should see your child's schedule when you login to Infinite Campus

Linked here is specific information on purchasing PE items, which will then be handed out the first few days of school during PE class

Linked here is specific information on the Food Service feature in Infinite Campus (view food account, add money, etc.)

Schedules

Schedules will be available through Infinite Campus beginning August 1st. We often receive requests for certain teams or teachers. While we would love to honor requests, we simply can't. Scheduling is a complicated process with numerous variables. Changing one schedule will create other changes to other schedules and there is a large trickle effect with any changes. We carefully plan and create schedules and a lot of work goes into the scheduling process. Students can sometimes feel anxiety over their schedule (not knowing anyone, not having a certain friend on their team, etc.), but the beauty of middle school is making new friends and learning how to navigate the ups and downs of adolescence. We also have times for students to be together when they are not on the same team (i.e., lunch, PE, exploratory classes, music). Our staff does a fabulous job of helping students get to know one-another through team building activities.

KIPLA Joins Harter

KIPLA (Kaneland IgKnight Personalized Learning Academy) will be housed at Harter Middle School. While KIPLA will have their own core classes, the students will integrate with Harter students for PE and exploratory classes. We are excited to add this new chapter at KHMS and look forward to welcoming KIPLA to the Harter family!

School Supply Lists

Grades 6-8 lists can be found by clicking here.

KHMS is using www.schooltoolbox.com for a one-stop shopping experience for school supplies. You can order your child's school supplies and they will be shipped directly to your house. Please note that there is not an option to purchase the KIPLA school supplies through School Tool Box.

Go to www.schooltoolbox.com
Enter school name: Kaneland Harter Middle School
Select your student's grade level

6th Grade Health Requirements

In order to begin their middle school career, all 6th grade students will need to have their health requirements submitted to our Nurse's office, which requires a physical and dental examination. Below are links to the forms.

Physical

Dental

To view more detailed information regarding health services, please use this link.

PE Uniforms

PE uniforms can be bought online through Infinite Campus (use this doc for assistance). Students/parents will need to purchase a shirt and a lock (school issued lock). Uniforms and locks will be distributed the first few days of school in your child's PE class. If your child already has both items, there is no need to purchase new ones.

Lunch Guidelines - Bringing in Lunch For Your Child

Parents are permitted to bring outside lunches for their child ONLY, not for other students. This rule is strictly enforced due to food allergies and the potential disruption it will cause in our cafeteria. Even if you know the other students (even with parent permission), we will still prohibit anyone bringing in lunch for any child other than their own.

We also do not allow students to bring in treats for other students to be shared for the same reasons as above. Your cooperation is appreciated.

Lunch Account

Students can purchase a lunch or bring in their own lunch each day. If your child plans on purchasing lunch, please see the below information.

Hot lunch is $3.50 or students can purchase ala carte items. Ala carte items range in price depending on what is being purchased.
Money can be put on your child's lunch account. Money or checks can be taken at the register, but no change will be given back. Change will be applied to your child's account. Credit cards/debit cards will not be taken at the register.
Deposits through Infinite Campus are credited to a student's account immediately, which means no student should have a negative balance. If a student has a negative balance, they will be provided the hot lunch of the day. No child will be denied a lunch, but please note that their account will be charged for the meal.
Each transaction of purchased food will show up almost immediately on your account. We will deny a student ala carte items if funds are not available or if they have hit their daily/weekly limit. If you would like to set a limit on what your student can charge, please contact Gigi Statler. Once these limits are set, they will not be removed without notification from parent or guardian.
Contact Gigi Statler (10629@kaneland.org) with any questions.

How to Add Money to Your Child's Account

Make sure you stop by and check out all the wonderful things the PTO does for the students and staff at Harter. You can also find more information on their website (khmspto.org)

Extra-Curricular Offerings at Harter

At Harter, we offer numerous extra-curricular offerings and they are listed below. Other offerings may be added during the school year based on interest. Please note that some athletic teams and after-school offerings require a student to tryout or audition to make the team/activity.

Parent Drop-off/Pick-up Procedures

If you are a returning parent, drop-off and pick-up procedures have not changed. Morning drop-off occurs in the front circle (door 1) and the afternoon pickup will occur in the south lot by door 20.

Please make sure you read our procedures (click here) to familiarize yourself with our process.

School Expectations

Attendance - Start of the School Day

Please note that students are marked as tardy to school if they arrive after 7:25 a.m. We want all students to start school on time. Consequences may be issued for excessive tardiness.

Behavior Expectations

Our staff and students will extensively review our school expectations in all areas of Harter at the beginning of the year and throughout the year. We want to prepare our students for success and teaching our expectations explicitly will help our students. We know the more structure we provide, the more our students will thrive.

Chromebook Expectations

Students are given new chromebooks every 4 years. During these 4 years, we are hopeful that students treat their chromebooks with care. We highly encourage parents to purchase insurance for their child's chromebook. Please note the following regarding insurance requirements:

A student must have a protective cover for their chromebook (provided by Kaneland 302) in order to be covered by insurance. If a student breaks their chromebook and they do not have a cover on it, insurance will not cover the damages.
A student is allowed a maximum of 2 screen replacements per year. Any additional screen repairs will not be covered by insurance.
Keyboard or key replacement will not be covered by insurance if the keyboard frame has been removed (tampered with the device).
A student must explain how the incident/damage occurred.
Damage must be accidental in nature in order to be covered by insurance

Examples of damage that will not be covered may be, but not limited to:

"I'm not sure how it happened"
"It was fine last hour but then I opened it and the screen was cracked"
"My friend borrowed it and broke it"
Slamming the cover shut
Inserting foreign objects into ports

Our staff will review how to care for chromebooks at the beginning of the year.

Cell Phone Expectations

While we've always advocated for students to learn how to utilize technology appropriately, including cell phones, we have experienced numerous distractions and disruptions over the years. Due to this, we are continuing our expectations regarding students' use of cellphones during the school day. All phones must be put away during the school day (not seen, used, or heard) unless a teacher gives permission. Students will still be allowed to use their phones at lunch.

We realize that cellphones make it easy to communicate with your child and this is why we will continue to allow them at lunch. This will be the time when students can check in with you in case you message them. If there is an emergency or you need to get a hold of your child, please call the main office (630-466-8400) and we will relay the message or call them to the office to reach out to you.

Our expectations will reduce the amount of distractions phones have caused and allow our students to experience success at higher rates. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

Please help us welcome our new staff to Harter Middle School. We are excited for our new staff to contribute to and enhance our tradition of excellence.

May 2025

From the Desk of the Principal

This will be the last newsletter of the 2024-2025 school year. I want to take a moment to thank you for your support and partnership this year. It has been a year filled with growth, learning, and countless moments of pride as our students have experienced success academically, socially, and emotionally.

As I tell the parents of incoming 6th grade students every year, middle school is an exciting ride and this year was no exception. Classroom accomplishments, extracurricular achievements, and memorable events allowed our students to shine. I'm proud of the Harter Learning Community!

To our 8th grade students and families, thank you for allowing us to be a part of your child's journey. We wish them all the best as they step confidently into high school. For our returning students, we're already looking forward to welcoming you back in the fall for another great year.

I wish all of you a safe, restful, joy-filled summer. Thank you for being such an important part of our school community.

Proud to be a Knight!
