As part of our ongoing commitment to effective communication, Kaneland School District 302 is pleased to offer an upgraded student management system to our families.  With increased access to relevant student information, parents can stay up-to-date on important aspects of their student’s performance, such as attendance and grades.

Not only will the new system increase the amount of information available to our families, but teachers and staff members will have access from anywhere, making grade reporting and updating easier and more efficient.

“The upgraded Student Management System is a robust, cloud-based system that provides our parents and staff with up-to-date information,” said Kaneland Director of Technology, Tim Wolf. “The system improves individualized information about students while providing teachers a more efficient method for teacher grade reporting.”

The new web-based system from Tyler Technologies will provide users access to student information including:

·        Live teacher gradebooks

·        Standardized, K-12 report cards

·        Homework assignments

·        Assessments

·        Discipline records

·        Attendance information

·        Medical records

·        Calendars

·        Fines and fees

·        Bus transportation information

·        Demographic data.

In July, Kaneland families will receive detailed instructions for accessing their student’s information via-web browser. The new web portal will replace Konnect, which will no longer be updated after June 15, 2015. The new system will also replace the Konnect mobile app. A new mobile application from Tyler Technologies will be available in January, 2016 to enable easy access to student information from any mobile device.

This year, District 302 introduced a new student program: Project Kaneland Community.  The after school program aims to build kindness and student empowerment among 4th and 5th graders. Four Kaneland staff members volunteered their time throughout the 2014-15 school year to teach monthly after school sessions to build strong character and student advocacy.  

“It has been a very powerful program,” notes K-5 Director of Educational Services, Dr. Sarah Mumm.
