May 2024
From the Desk of the Principal
It's hard to believe this will be the last newsletter of the school year. I say this every year and I'm going to say it again, time flies! As the year comes to a close, I want to thank you for partnering with us. While there are always ups and downs in a school year, especially in a middle school, I'm appreciative that we've continued to work together to provide our students with an enriching education that is focused on whole-child development (academic, social, emotional). I'm constantly reminded of how amazing our Kaneland family is and how lucky I am to call myself the principal of this fine building.
If I don't see you at one of our numerous May events, have a great summer. For our 8th grade students and families that are moving on, I wish you the best.
Teacher Appreciation Week - May 6-10
May 6-10 is Teacher Appreciation Week. Please take a minute to send a positive note to your child's teachers. We are lucky to have an awesome staff at Harter and they make our building an amazing place to learn and grow. #ThankaTeacher #TeacherAppreciationWeek2024
