Good afternoon Country Meadows Families,
This week brought us extreme heat and severe storms!
I want to take a moment to commend our amazing students for how well they’ve adapted during the extreme heat days. They managed indoor recess and quickly got to their dismissal route with great responsibility and flexibility—Go Cubs!
Our students also completed the MAP assessment, and I’m proud to share that they were fully engaged and gave it their all. Their focus and effort were truly commendable.
A heartfelt thank you to all the families who attended Curriculum Night. It was such a pleasure to see so many of you and connect in person. If you couldn’t make it, don’t worry—teachers will be sending out their presentations soon so you won’t miss a thing.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support and partnership. We’re off to a great start, and I’m excited for what’s to come!
Kindly,
Aska Lempke
Principal
REPEAT *Erin’s Law*
An Illinois law known as Erin’s Law requires schools to implement an age-appropriate sexual assault and abuse awareness/prevention curriculum for Early Childhood through Grade 12.
Kildeer Countryside CCSD 96 researched and observed best practices and programs for delivering this instruction, selecting Be Seen & Heard ©. For more information about this presentation please go to www.victorpacini.com/peace-of-mind-2
This developmentally appropriate and interactive program focuses on teaching children skills to keep them safe from danger or abuse. Concepts discussed will include distinguishing safe from unsafe touches, safety rules at home and school, saying NO, safe/unsafe secrets, and telling a trusted adult, as well as reinforcing that an adult’s touching him or her is not the child’s fault.
