Dear Kildeer Families,
The end of the year is an exciting one. We have been truly enjoying our ABC countdown and all the fun that it has to bring each day. I was also able to be a part of the practice 5K this week for Girls on the Run! It was the perfect sunny day and we all felt very accomplished when we met our goal!

Guidelines for Deciding to Send a Child to School.
Deciding when a child is too sick to go to school can be a difficult decision for parents to make. When deciding, refer to the guidelines on the District Website at www.kcsd96.org In the Family Resources pull-down menu on the home page, click on Student Health/"Send to School or Keep Home?"
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.

iPad Policy Change for 2018-19
The end of the year is a busy time for everyone, but it's always good to get a head start and thinking next year. The policy concerning iPad damage will be different next year. This change is reflected on the flyer below and in greater detail in the 2018-19 Student Handbook.

Summer Reading for Student Growth
Having students continue to read during the summer when school is not in session is extremely important to their academic growth and to prevent them from losing academic progress.
Because our goal is to have our students continue to read for pleasure, we offer grade-level-specific book suggestion lists of various genres to appeal to a variety of interests.
Also, grade levels have assigned specific activities as well as a student interest inventory to complete and return at the beginning of the school year.
Please CLICK HERE to find your student's parent letter (including required grade-level activity), book suggestions, and reader interest inventory, listed by 2018-2019 grade level.
Questions? Please contact the school office.

During our last few weeks of school, we will be counting down with something fun each day. Please take a look at our ABC countdown.
Please note that we are modifying "T" day to be Twin/Triplet/Team. Talk to your child's classroom teacher for more information!
