From Behind the Desk of Principal Dr. James Horne
KHS families,
The school year is up and running. Thank you to all who attended our open house on 8/29. It was great to see and connect with so many of our families. I am starting a parent advisory group that will meet on October 24, 2023 from 5:00pm - 6:30pm. This is an opportunity to share your feedback on the high school as well as learn about improvement plans for this school year as well as being put into place for next year.
If you are interested in joining, please complete this form and I will send you the agenda for the meeting.
From Dean of Students Noe Escamilla
We are focused to keep all students and staff members safe and secure while at school.
Over the next several weeks we, along with schools across the District, will be practicing our plans for fire, sheltering in place, intruder (A.L.I.C.E.), and evacuating the bus in an emergency. These drills are held as practice and to teach students what to do in these scenarios. These drills are coordinated with our District Safety Team and required by the Illinois School Code. For questions or more information, please contact 630.365.5100

From the Nurse
NOTE: THIS IS A GENERAL MESSAGE.
Dear Kaneland parents,
Please, see the important reminders below from our Nurse’s office
regarding school physicals and immunizations.
Physical Requirements for 9th graders:
A Current physical or a physical that has been done within a year of the first day of school (nothing older than 8/15/22).
Immunization records must be a current copy (completed with physical) and signed by Physician or stamped (not typed).
Illinois state exam must be signed and dated by Physician
Health History section must be filled out by Parent, signed and dated.
Physician needs to fill in Diabetes screening, Lead Screening and Physical Education portion.
Dental exams are also required for 9th graders but however not a part of exclusion.
Everything should be filled out on physical exam but the list above is what will keep your student from being excluded.
12th grade Immunization Requirements:
2nd meningococcal shot
Shot must be on or after 16th birthday (if not, a physician’s note stating student is “properly immunized” for 2nd meningococcal shot, will suffice for state requirements)
If anything is missing from Physical or Immunization records (listed above) students will still be EXCLUDED from school beginning October
15, 2023.
IMPORTANT- Future doctor’s appointments (on or after October 15th) will not exempt you from state exclusion. We do not accept State Sport’s Physicals. Please, do not turn them in to the health office those documents go the Athletic department.
Feel free to contact the Health Office with any questions or concerns.
