Dear Kildeer Families,
We had a lot of fun this week in four short days. I want to congratulate our third graders for a wonderful musical performance. The students wore huge smiles on their faces and had the audience laughing. Thanks for helping us to have some fun! Mr. Tatar did a phenomenal job putting this program together, as usual. Aren't we so lucky? TAKE A LOOK!

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 Kindergarten through Grade 12.
Kildeer Countryside School District 96 researched and observed best practices and programs for delivering this instruction, selecting Victor Pacini to present Be Seen & Heard ©.
The focus of this developmentally appropriate and interactive program is to teach 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.
Parents who would like to preview the information he will present to KCSD96 elementary students may attend a program with Mr. Pacini at 6 p.m. on Tues., Jan. 23, in the Mat Room at Ivy Hall School, 1072 Ivy Hall Ln., Buffalo Grove.
The presentation to Kildeer School students will be during the school day on Wed., Feb. 7.
If you prefer that your child does not attend this prevention education session, please submit your written request–or your questions–to me at [email protected]. MORE INFO
