NEED A FREE BABYSITTER?  
D96 parents who heard Dr. Maniacci speak last month on helping our kids have better outcomes requested that District 96 invite him to return and speak on other topics. Our survey through E-NEWS revealed these TOP 3 topic picks from the parent community:
• The Top 10 Mistakes Good Parents Make–now scheduled for Wed., Nov. 29, 7–8:30 p.m. @ Twin Groves
• Understanding Personality and Character–date/location TBD
• Raising Ethical Children in a Competitive World–date/location TBD
Free babysitting service will be provided onsite on Wed., Nov. 29, at Twin Groves by Stevenson High School students for children (ages 4+) of parents attending Dr. Maniacci’s program. Your RSVP helps us plan for seating and childcare:

KCSD96 TEXT MESSAGE OPT-IN PROCESS  Have you texted YES?
District 96 uses the School Messenger system to communicate with our parent community by email and–in some instances–also by text message and/or phone call.

If you would like to receive text messages from School District 96 when the subject and nature of the communication warrant our sending them (to advise you of a late-returning bus, for example), it’s necessary for you first to have sent a text message of Y or YES to this District 96 short code number: 67587. Or, if you prefer, use your mobile phone to scan the QR code in this School Messenger FLYER (English & Spanish) and send your Y or YES reply.
To opt out of our text messages, simply reply STOP to any text message District 96 sends you.

Please be advised that standard message and data rates for text messaging may apply, depending on your mobile carrier and plan.
