Kildeer Principal's Message

A Look Back...
Blue Ribbon Ceremony ~  The kids had a blast at our Blue Ribbon Ceremony, recognizing the huge accomplishment of Kildeer School.  We are all so proud!  Thank you to our PTO for the contributions they made to the event, making it even more special.

A Look Ahead... 

A Note from the Nurse ~  Although not our favorite topic, tis the season for head lice...  As winter weather has arrived, now is a good time to remind your children not to share hats, headbands, scarves or earmuffs with their friends as this can lead to an increased transmission of head lice. Head lice continues to be one of the most common communicable conditions among children, and outbreaks are possible whenever and wherever children gather. Since the onset of head lice is typical this time of year, it is a good idea to watch for signs that your child may have lice such as frequent head scratching. If your child has lice, there are a variety of treatments available. Please check the District website, www.kcsd96.org, under the “Family Resources,” “Student Health” link for specific information on head lice and District 96 practices.

GOOD NEWS FOR D96 PARENTS WHO PREPAY THEIR STUDENTS’ LUNCHES ONLINE ~ District administrators shared your feedback with the staff of MealsPlus and the following improvement is the result: The $100 payment cap on LunchPrepay.com has been removed.Parents will no longer need to make multiple payments for amounts over $100. (Note: The $1.95 transaction fee per payment still applies, however.)
