FAMILY PICNIC IS TONIGHT – DON'T MISS OUT

Come celebrate the end of the school year at our Annual Kildeer Family Picnic TONIGHT Fri., May 11, 5:30 – 8:00 PM, at Kildeer School. Don't miss an action-packed evening with Famos! DJ & Entertainment, Balloon Art & Face Painter, Bubble Blower, a Fire Truck Visit, and (our favorite part!) performances from our spectacular First Graders!

SAVERS DONATION POSTPONED!!

Thank you to everyone who has started to collect for our Savers FunDrive. Unfortunately, we are postponing our Savers FunDrive due to a lack of volunteers. We are no longer collecting items at our Family Picnic tonight, but will be collecting in October once the school year is underway. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and hope you are able to save any items you've collected for our next FunDrive. Thank you for your understanding and support.

2017–18 CHAIRPERSON CHECK REQUEST REMINDER

Just a reminder to all PTO Committees that any outstanding check request forms are due no later than May 18. Please send the check request form in an envelope marked "PTO Treasurer" and include all original receipts.

COMMITTEE CHAIR OPENINGS FOR 2018-19: CULTURAL ARTS AND FAMILY PICNIC CHAIRS NEEDED!!

Sign up now for our Committee Chair openings for the 2018–19 school year. Chairing one (or more!) of our fantastic committees is a great way to get involved with Kildeer. Hurry now and chair the Cultural Arts Committee or the Family Picnic Committee! The Cultural Arts Committee not only gets to see the performances (which are normally closed to parents), they get to work with Mrs. Kieser to help choose which shows our students get to see. There is a special Cultural Arts Showcase in the fall that the committee attends, so there's no need to try to find ideas on your own!

We are asking ALL–both RETURNING chairs and NEW chairs–to go to PTO MEMBERSHIP TOOLKIT to sign up. Log in to your family account and you will find the sign-up under My Account/FormsAndPaperwork/VolunteerOpportunities

Get Your Supply Kits for Next Year

We lowered the price this year!!!! Don't delay – minimize the hassle of back-to-school shopping and order your school supply kits for the 2018/2019 school year! School supplies will be delivered to your child's classroom and waiting for you at Meet-the-Teacher Day in the fall! The PTO will accept orders through Thurs., May 31, 2018. Once the sale closes, you will not have another opportunity to purchase a supply kit. Purchase your kit online today by logging in to the KILDEER PTO MEMBERSHIP TOOLKIT. Make sure to update Parent and Student Information, ensuring the "Current Grade" for each student is the grade they are in as of the 2017–2018 school year. Note: School Supply Kit orders will not present correctly if this information is not updated.

Attention 5th-grade parents – Order your 6th-grade school supply kit from WOODLAWN'S PTO MEMBERSHIP TOOLKIT. 
If you are NEW to Woodlawn, CREATE A NEW Woodlawn PTO Membership Toolkit Account. You can use the same log in and password, but this is a different system than the elementary.

If you already have an EXISTING Woodlawn Membership Toolkit Account, you need to ADD A NEW STUDENT. From the Family Information link, click Next Step to access the student info. You can then add another student. Please enter the current grade and don't add any teacher or locker information.
