Good Afternoon Kildeer Families,
As we enter the final month of the school year, I want to commend our students for their perseverance and dedication, especially as they completed the Spring MAP assessment. We’re proud of their efforts and growth.
Our 5th graders gave a fantastic musical performance on Wednesday! Their energy and enthusiasm was contagious, and it was wonderful to see so many students actively involved. The audience was engaged and full of laughter throughout the show. Job well done, Mr. Tatar and 5th graders! Good luck to all of our 5th grade students performing in the Variety Show tonight.
As we approach the end of the year, we’re looking forward to a variety of exciting events designed to celebrate our accomplishments.
As the weather shifts toward warmer days, please remind students to check the lost and found—it's filling up quickly with jackets, water bottles, and other items that need to be claimed.
Until our next adventure.
Mrs. Karen Cumpata

NEW *Library End-of-Year Procedures*
Our final day for library check out is T, 5/13. All library materials are due back on W, 5/14.
Please help our library by looking under beds, in closets, cars, backpacks, etc. for our beloved library books. We understand that sometimes books have already been returned and we will partner with you to check our shelves to see if they can be found. Your child may come home with a paper list of missing book titles to help make the search easier.
If you have any questions, please email Ms. Jones at [email protected].
REPEAT *Transition to Middle School Presentation*
More than 300 parents and guardians attended the “Transition to Middle School” presentation at Twin Groves Middle School. Guests heard from Twin Groves Middle School Principal Mrs. Barnes and Assistant Principal Mrs. Kasie Dolan, as well as Woodlawn Middle School Principal Mr. Grana and Assistant Principal Greg Bays. There was also a panel of current sixth-graders, who answered questions about what it's like to be a middle schooler.
If you were unable to make the event, please view the “Transition to Middle School 2025” presentation here.

Proof of this required dental examination must have been completed within eighteen months prior to the May 15 deadline.
