Good Afternoon Kildeer Families,
This week our 5th grade Captains enjoyed reading Colby, The Pirate Boy to different classes. The 5th grade Captains planned a unique lesson to reinforce our pirate values of being brave, bold and acting with a heart of gold. We are looking forward to next week and the different activities that are planned. Wednesday is Picture Day! Students will take their pictures during PE. Information about ordering pictures was sent home with students but can also be found as an attachment in my Pirate Post email. On Friday, all students will participate in our annual Cougar Fun Run. Students are encouraged to wear Kildeer spiritwear or blue and gold.
Until our next adventure.
Mrs. Karen Cumpata

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.
