Good Afternoon Kildeer Families,
This week hit us with some blistering heat and fierce storms, but our Kildeer Crew persevered. 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.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We’re off to a great start, and I am excited for all the treasures ahead!
Until our next adventure,
Mrs. Karen Cumpata

REPEAT *Law Enforcement Safety Drill*
On Monday, September 9, Kildeer will be conducting a Law Enforcement Safety Drill. Students will be evacuating the building during the drill. If the weather does not cooperate, we will reschedule the drill and communicate the rescheduled drill date.
In compliance with the Safety Drill Act, parents have the right to exempt their child from the Law Enforcement Drill. If you do not wish your child to participate in the Law Enforcement Safety Drill, please contact Karen Cumpata at [email protected]. The administration will arrange for an alternative review of safety procedures with your child. If we do not hear from you, we will assume your child has permission to participate in the drill.
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.
Opt-Out Procedures
The presentation to Kildeer students will be during the school day on Tuesday, September 10. If you prefer that your child does not attend this prevention education session, please submit your written request or your questions to [email protected]
