Good Afternoon Kildeer Families,
We had a wonderful week at Kildeer! Mornings have been a bit chilly but by lunch and recess students are outside enjoying the fall weather. The weather is continuously changing this time of year so please make sure your child is dressed appropriately and prepared to go outside for recess.
Mr. Higgins and I enjoyed reading to many classes this week. Getting into classrooms and visiting with students is truly the best part of our day. We are looking forward to finishing up our read aloud visits next week.
As a reminder, Tuesday, October 24 is an Early Release Day. Students will be dismissed at 2:05pm.
Have a WONDERful weekend!
Mrs. Karen Cumpata

NEW *Halloween Festivities on Tuesday, October 31*
-
The Halloween Parade will begin at 1:30pm. Students and staff will start together in the large gym. Parents are not allowed in the building during the parade.
-
After the students parade around in the large gym, students will exit out the gym door and walk on the sidewalk in front of the school.
-
Parents can enjoy the parade from the parking lot. Feel free to get out of your car and stand on the blacktop areas near the sidewalk. We encourage you to wave and take pictures of your child during this time. Please remain off the sidewalk while students are parading in front of the building. As a school, we want to make sure all students/ grade levels stay together during the parade.
-
Once students have walked around the front of the school, they will come back inside the building for their class party. Only Halloween party volunteers will be allowed in the building after the parade. If you are a parent volunteer for the Halloween party, you must enter through the front door and sign in as usual. If you have questions about being a party volunteer, please reach out to our PTO.
-
If the weather does not cooperate and we are unable to have the Halloween parade outside, we will email parents before 1:00pm.
NEW *IMPORTANT NOTES FOR PTO PARTY VOLUNTEERS*
Parents attending the parties may not bring additional family members, other children, etc. We need everyone to abide by this and will have to ask you to leave if you come with other attendees.
Every PTO volunteer approved to come into our school MUST have their license or ID scanned through our security system to enter. If you have never volunteered at Kildeer before then you must come in to scan your ID or license ahead of the party.
