Good Afternoon Kildeer Families,
What a wonderful week we have had at Kildeer! Our future 1st graders from Willow Grove visited our school and had an excellent visit and tour! Our 3rd graders hosted a Wax Museum. The 5th graders put on a great music program and thrilled the students with their talents during the whole school Variety Show. All of these wonderful activities in addition to our Kildeer ABC Countdown are helping students and staff end the school year on a positive note.
Please note the upcoming schedule for our final week of school.
EnJOY your weekend!
Mrs. Karen Cumpata

New *Report Cards and 6th Grade Placement*
Trimester 3 report cards will be available on TeacherEase (School Insight) at 3:00 pm on Monday, June 5th.
5th to 6th grade placement results will be emailed to parents shortly after report cards are available on Monday, June 5th.
REPEAT *Summer Reading*
This summer, we want students to experience the pure joy of reading. Since the purpose of summer reading is to help foster a love of reading, we strongly feel that students should read a book that is of high interest to them and close to the difficulty level of text they would encounter during the school year.
To support our elementary students in continuing to read over the summer, each grade level has a recommended reading list, as well as optional reading lessons that can be completed independently by students. Both the lists and the summer reading lessons can be found on our district website.

REPEAT *Band Information*
Attention 4th grade parents…
The chance to sign up for 5th grade band is happening now! Your child has already taken home information about band and play tested several band instruments.
There is a band information meeting for all interested 4th grade parents on Monday, May 22nd at 7:00pm in the Woodlawn Middle School band room (students are also allowed to attend). At that meeting the band teacher Mr. Craw will explain the band program, the instruments, the schedule, the costs, and how to get an instrument and supplies. If you can't attend the meeting be sure to look over the information on the band website here.
Band sign up and instrument rental is on Wednesday, May 24th anytime from 4:00-7:00 in the Woodlawn cafeteria. Online sign up will also be available on the band website starting on that date.

Should parents have technology-related questions over the summer, they can get a hold of us at [email protected].
