We kicked off the 2011-2012 school year with a full-school pep rally! Children were greeted by their teachers in our gymnasium where we said the Pledge of Allegiance, welcomed new students and faculty, and celebrated each class as they were dismissed to begin their first day of school. The school week ended with our first Cougar Pride Assembly of the school year. Here, students learned or were reminded that we show Cougar Pride when we give five! The Cougar Five gives all students and staff a common language by which we set our expectations. You can help reinforce this at home with your child by reviewing these five guidelines:
1. Follow directions
2. Use kind words
3. Keep my hands and feet to myself
4. Make safe choices
5. DO MY BEST!

District 96 Consistent Safe Snack List
District 96 has posted a consistent Safe Snack List on each of its school’s web pages. Although this general list has been posted, allergen restricted classrooms may have a more specific list. If your child is a student in an allergen-restricted classroom and that classroom has a specific snack list, please be sure to adhere to the classroom list. Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our allergen restricted classrooms safe environments for our students.
This is a brief look ahead at what’s happening at Kildeer. Be sure and check E-News and our PTO link.
