October 2024

Fall Fundraiser

The tentative pick-up date for all fundraising items from the fall fundraiser is November 6th starting at 3:00 p.m. All frozen items, no matter if sold online or in person will need to be picked up on that day unless the customer chose a ship to home product online. Customers that purchased popcorn online had a choice between paying extra and having them shipped to their home or shipping them to school for free. Those items sent to school will also be available for pickup at that time. Please keep in mind that we do not have freezer space to store frozen product. If you are unable to pick up the items on November 6th, please make arrangements for someone else to pick it up for you.

PTO

Our next PTO meeting will be Wednesday, October 9th at 7:00 p.m. It is a virtual meeting and you can join the meeting by clicking here. The PTO is continuing to offer a prize to the homeroom that has the most parents attend the PTO meeting.

The next No Cook Knight is Thursday, October 17th at Paisano's (both Elburn & Sugar Grove locations). You can find more information on the KHMS PTO website.

End of 1st Term & Report Cards

The End of the 1st Term is October 11th. Report Cards will be viewable in Infinite Campus on October 18th. A separate email will be sent with instructions on how to view and print the report card.

Parent-Teacher Conferences

Since Parent-Teacher Conferences take place right away in November, we wanted to send out information now. P/T Conference will be held on Wednesday, November 6th (3:00-7:00 p.m.) and Thursday, November 7th (10:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m.). Students do attend school on November 6th, but do not have school on November 7th & 8th. More information, including how to sign up for a conference, will be communicated from your child's team and teachers in the near future.

We will follow the student-led conference format. To learn more about this process, an informational doc has been created: Student-led conferences

KORT Community Service Program

Kaneland Harter Middle School has a long tradition of celebrating student commitment to community service. Not only does this program give students the opportunity to learn more about the services of the community and supports the district's mission of graduating students who are college, career and community ready, it also supports the Kaneland Core Values of Citizenship, Responsibility and Commitment to Excellence. Students who accumulate at least 30 hours over their career at Harter are recognized at the end of their 8th grade year and are given a Knights of the Round Table chenille shield and certificate of recognition. If your child is interested in participating in this program, please read the information here.

Halloween Dance

The Harter Middle School Student Council is sponsoring a Halloween dance on Friday, November 1st from 6:00-8:00 p.m. All Harter Middle School students are invited to attend and dress in a costume. Costumes must be school appropriate as outlined in the student handbook and students should not include any toy or fake weapons. Masks will not be allowed as it is imperative that staff are able to see students' faces. Face paint is allowed.

Entry to the dance will cost $5 and students must present their ID. Pizza, snacks, and drinks will be available for purchase. Only Kaneland Harter Middle School students are allowed to attend the dance. Students from other middle schools, high schools, or elementary schools will not be allowed to attend.

Halloween Day

Due to the fact we are offering a Halloween Dance, Halloween costumes will not be allowed to be worn at school on Halloween day. Costumes present a distraction to the learning environment. Students are asked to attend the Halloween Dance to show off their costumes.
