Hi All-
This is just a reminder that students who are quarantined need to be able to Zoom into your classes for the time that they are out. Please be sure to allow access regardless of classroom activities. While there might some activities that are not rich with classroom-wide discussions (conferencing, etc) this is an important opportunity that we have shared with our community and is the expectation for their children to be able to access the classroom.

We are thrilled to share that our March Nominate a Knight opportunity garnered 11 nominees!! All nominations detailed incredible examples of Kaneland staff developing strong relationships with students, colleagues or the Kaneland community in general. One winner, from among the 11 nominees, was selected at random. Congratulations to Sadie Stark from KME! She was nominated for...
"I am nominating Sadie because of the amazing work that she has done with the Game On Fundraiser. The students raised over $25,000 and a portion of that will be donated to two local charities which is amazing! Sadie involved a group of 5th-grade students to research and choose which charity they wanted to donate to. Through this program, all of the McDole students have learned the power of giving back to those less fortunate and that even a little goes a long way. I am so proud to see what our students have done with Sadie's support and hard work. She has really taught our students the power of giving back and supporting the community."
A customized IgKnighter Box O’ Fun is on its way to Sadie! Proud to have her on the Knights team!
It is that time again, Spring assessment is here! We will begin Rigby assessments very soon. With most of our students back onsite, we will be planning 1 to 1 and a half days for each grade level. In order to make the assessment time very efficient please be sure to give the most accurate and most recent reading level the student has been working on for the assessors to begin near the correct level. We will also be holding a full remote Rigby assessment day on April 21st so your RTI staff will not be in the schools that day. We look forward to a great sessions of assessment.
