A Message from Student Council ~
PAJAMA DAY AND PAJAMA PROGRAM DONATIONS
We had a very exciting pajama day! Kids wore their favorite pajamas and robes to school. Students and parents collected P.J.s and books. We are very proud to say we collected 111 pajamas and 81 books! The drive goes to kids that have no pajamas . Along with the pajamas comes a book that allows the kids to enjoy a bedtime story. Pajama Program asks that you donate NEW pajamas. Kildeer School loved the pajama day, and loved your donation. Thank you students and parents of Kildeer.

Is your child well enough to attend school? ~ As stated in the Student Handbook, section 5.0 General Health Questions and Procedures:
Children with temperatures of 100 degrees or above, sneezing or runny
noses, sore or irritated eyes, or severe abdominal cramps should not be in
school. A child with a temperature of 100 degrees or more should stay home
for 24 hours after his or her temperature returns to normal without the use
of fever-reducing medications. Parents should notify the school whenever
there is confirmation of a communicable or contagious illness of any sort.
Please refer to the Send to School or Keep Home? guidelines when deciding if you should keep your child home or send them to school. If your child has had a fever or vomited your child can not return to school for 24 hours. Please remember that if you are keeping your child home, you need to call your child out of school for the day. The office is having to make many phone calls home to check on absent students each day.
Lice ~ An unpopular subject, but tis the season... Parents, it is recommended that you check your children on a regular basis for the presence of lice. We have a nit free policy. It they are found, you should notify the school so we can check your child's classroom and also your child upon re-entry to school. When head lice has been verified in a particular classroom we check the entire classroom and you will always receive a letter home. Click here to read about FAQ's and even watch a video of what to look for when checking your children for these pesky pests. (Reference to products are not intended as endorsements.)
Crazy Hair Day ~ Set for Friday, February 22nd is sponsored by the Kildeer Student Council.
CELL PHONE ALERT ~ Please, when you are pulling into parent drop-off and pick-up, do not use handheld cell phones. It's illegal to be on your cellphone in a school zone, and incredibly dangerous to be on your cell phone while driving through parent pick-up. Thank you.
