A Look Back...
Mock Election ~ Students really enjoyed feeling a part of the process on election day. It was fun to see them take it so seriously and really connect with the responsibility of voting.
A Look Ahead...
Family Reading Night ~ Family Reading Night is here! We hope to see you on Thursday, November 15th, at 6:30 p.m. Please click here for more information about our evening of reading and to quickly let us know if you plan on coming, so we are able to estimate attendance to plan for activities.
Blue Ribbon Ceremony ~ Kildeer School will be celebrating our Blue Ribbon Schools Award recognition on Tuesday, November 27th at 1:30p.m., with a school assembly. Parents/guardians are welcome to join in on the festivities. Due to safety codes, we are limited to the number of guests, therefore we require that you r.s.v.p. right away to let us know if you plan on attending. This will also allow us to provide you with a badge, providing you with entry to our assembly (as we always require for school visitors). If we exceed the number of visitors, pushing us over our allowable capacity, we will first, allow only one guest per family, and second, choose by a random raffle. We will contact you if this is the case. If you plan on attending, please email pcampbell@kcsd96.org. We ask all visitors to be at Kildeer by 1:15p.m., at the latest. YOU MUST R.S.V.P. BY FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16th TO ATTEND. Thank you!
