Kildeer PTO Blog, August 4, 2023

Welcome Back!

It’s hard to believe summer break is coming to a close and the 2023-24 school year is less than two weeks away!

We hope all our Kildeer Cougars had an amazing summer and are ready to dive back into fun and learning at Kildeer School. The Kildeer PTO is busy making plans for the school year. Please find us on Facebook or Instagram to keep up with us throughout the year!

 

Meet the Teacher / PTO Info Table: Wednesday, August 16

Kildeer families and students are invited to join us in the Kildeer Main Hallway, from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, August 16, during "Meet The Teacher" to learn more about PTO activities and volunteer opportunities.

 

Membership Toolkit

Once again, we’ll be using Membership Toolkit (MTK) as our hub for all sign-ups and purchases through the PTO. We are busy getting the site set up for this year, but you can look forward to purchasing Special Lunch and Dessert Day, signing up for Class Parties and Room Parents, volunteering opportunities and more. We are planning to launch our forms on or around the first day of school, so stay tuned for more information.

In the meantime, you are encouraged to start an MTK account now or update your current account (especially once you receive your student’s classroom teacher assignment). Visit us at https://kildeercountrysidepto.membershiptoolkit.com/home today!

2023-24 PTO Committee Chair Positions Open

Want to join your favorite PTO committee? Sign up to be a Committee Chairperson or volunteer! Volunteering with the PTO is a great way to meet other parents and be "in the know" about school happenings. 

Click here ~ https://kildeercountrysidepto.membershiptoolkit.com/login-form?r=%2Fopen_forms ~ to explore opportunities for the PTO Committee Chairperson positions. If you have questions or may be interested, contact us at [email protected]

Thank you for considering volunteering your time and your talents to the KILDEER PTO. We could not offer these programs for our students and the school without your support.

 

Box Tops Collection is Easy!

Help the PTO earn funds to purchase supplies for our school by collecting Box Tops!  

Box Tops can be earned from many household products, including General Mills, Ziploc, Annie's and more.  There is also now an easier way to collect box tops: Download the "Box Tops for Education" app, and scan your receipts to submit Box Tops electronically! It couldn’t be easier!

Note: Physical Box Tops are no longer accepted.

  • Recognizing and supporting teachers and staff;
  • Supporting the school by purchasing needed Wish List items;
