Items for the fall fundraiser are currently scheduled to arrive on November 2.  We will be setting pickup times between 3 and 7 p.m. that day.  It is imperative that all items be picked up on that day as we do not have the freezer space to store it.  If you are unable to pick up items on November 2, we ask that you make arrangements with a friend or relative that may be able to help.  Some of the popcorn and tumblers have arrived and we will distribute these items to the students to bring home.  Not all items have been delivered, but we will have a delivery date estimate on November 2nd.

MTSS - Multi-Tiered Systems of Support

Over the course of the beginning of the school year, Kaneland has been focusing on the shift from Response to Intervention (RTI) to Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS).  MTSS consists of pushing in to support students in the classrooms to enhance and remediate learning for students.  The focus on MTSS is expanded to all content and support for behaviors.  The MTSS interventionists co-teach within assigned classrooms and use the six models of co-teaching to best service our students.  MTSS staff and classroom teachers meet and co-plan based on the needs of the students and work on supporting all students through co-teaching.  The benefits of MTSS co-teaching are looking at the whole child within the classroom and supporting them in the learning environment.  Feel free to ask your students about a co-teacher that might be working in their classrooms.  We are excited to continue to support learning through MTSS this year!  

Personalized Learning Academy 

Registration has opened for the inaugural class at the Personalized Learning Academy!  Registration is already a quarter of the way full!  As a reminder, there are two upcoming IgKnight Academy Open House Informational Sessions.  They will be held on Thursday, October 20th and Thursday, November 17th at the Meredith Road building, just north of Kaneland High School, from 6:00-7:30 p.m.  The evenings will include opening remarks, followed by a tour of four Academy spaces, with information on the differences between personalized and legacy (traditional) instruction, how to determine if IgKnight is right for you, and the opportunity to envision a day in the life of an IgKnight student.  The tour is self-paced, allowing families to spend as little or as much time learning and exploring as they need.  

If you have any questions regarding IgKnight Academy registration, please contact Laura Garland, Personalized Learning Coordinator, at 10166@kaneland.org or 630-365-5111  ext. 71127.  

Halloween Dance

The Harter Middle School Student Council is sponsoring a Halloween dance on Friday, October 21 from 6:00-8:00 p.m.  All Harter Middle School students are invited to attend and dress in costume.  The best costumes will also win a prize!  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.  Students who wish to bring their mask for the costume contest may do so with the understanding that it will not be worn at any other time during the dance.  

Entry to the dance will cost $3 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 to 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.    

Substitute Information

Have you ever wanted to substitute in your school district?  Subbing is a flexible, convenient, and rewarding opportunity that many can take advantage of.  Getting a substitute certificate can be simple, and once done, there is a significant need for substitute teachers here in Kaneland.  Please follow this link for additional information.

There are two pathways to becoming a substitute teacher

1. If you hold a Bachelor's Degree from an accredited college/university, you may obtain a full substitute license.
2. If you have an Associates Degree OR sixty (60) credit hours from an accredited college/university, you may obtain a short term substitute license.  The short term substitute license has various limitations and would only be valid until June 30, 2023.

If you are interested in subbing, and qualify under either of the pathways above, simply click on this link to the Educator Licensure Information System (ELIS) and start an account.  Follow the prompts to apply for a Substitute License.  The State will provide you with an email to send official college transcripts to so that you can finalize the process.  Once you have a license issued from the State, please contact the building principal for a screening interview.  

If you have any questions, or need any additional information or help, please contact Dr. Chris Adkins, Director of Human Resources at 630-365-4114 or via email at 75522@kaneland.org.

MTSS - Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (Sistemas de Apoyo de Múltiples Niveles)

En el transcurso del comienzo del año escolar, Kaneland se ha centrado en el cambio de Respuesta a la intervención (RTI) a Sistemas de Apoyo de múltiples Niveles (MTSS) consiste en presionar para apoyar a los estudiantes en las aulas para mejorar y remediar el aprendizaje de los estudiantes. El enfoque en MTSS se expande a todo el contenido y soporte para comportamientos. Los intervencionistas de MTSS co-enseñan dentro de los salones asignados y usan los seis modelos de co-enseñanza para servir mejor a nuestro estudiantes. El personal de MTSS y maestros del salón de clases se reúnen y planifican conjuntamente en función de las necesidades de los estudiantes y trabajan para apoyar a todos los estudiantes a través de la enseñanza conjunta. Los beneficios de la co-enseñanza de MTSS son mirar al niño/a en su totalidad dentro del salón de clases y apoyarlo en el ambiente de aprendizaje. Siéntase libre de preguntar a sus alumnos acerca del co-profesor que podría estar trabajando en sus salones. ¡Estamos emocionados de continuar apoyando el aprendizaje a través de MTSS este año!

Si tiene alguna pregunta sobre el registro en  IgKnight Academy, comuníquese con Laura Garland, coordinadora de aprendizaje personalizado, al 10166@kaneland.org o al 630-365-5111  ext. 71127.

Baile de Halloween

Solo los estudiantes de la escuela secundaria Kaneland Harter pueden asistir al baile. No se permitirá la asistencia de estudiantes de otras escuelas secundarias, preparatorias o primarias.
