Dear KCSD96 Community Members,
As the winter season embraces us with its festive charm, I am grateful for our students, staff, and greater community for your support and commitment to making KCSD96 the incredible school district that it is.

Whether you’re celebrating cherished traditions, creating new memories, or simply finding peace in the quiet moments, I wish for your days to be filled with joy, laughter, and warmth.
To our dedicated staff, thank you for your tireless efforts to nurture, inspire, and guide our students every day. And to our families, thank you for partnering with us in fostering an environment where our children can thrive. Your collaboration is invaluable to our shared success.
May this season bring you happiness and renewal, and may the new year ahead be filled with hope and promise. I can't wait to see what's in store.
With gratitude and warmest wishes,

Board of Education Presentation: Job Well Done!
A job well done to all who presented during Tuesday night's Board of Education meeting about our Dual Language Program here at Kildeer Countryside School District 96.
The presentation highlighted the incredible benefits of this educational experience but also showcased this dedicated, resilient, and talented group of students who were the first to pave the way through this program. We are also incredibly grateful for the vision and dedication of our administrators and teachers who have implemented and championed such a successful program at KCSD96. They are shining examples of what can be achieved through hard work, support, and a commitment to learning.

Inclement Weather Procedures
As we approach winter, we want to take a moment to remind our families of our KCSD96 Inclement Weather Procedures. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our practices, and begin to prepare for the potential for cold, snow, and ice this school year: https://www.kcsd96.org/superintendent/inclementweatherprocedures It's always a great idea for families to make a game plan prior to any extreme winter weather occurring.
This link includes helpful information about:
- Inclement Weather Communication Procedures at KCSD96
- Inclement Weather Scenarios:
- School Closed

- Planned Early Dismissal
There is no immediate inclement weather is on the horizon but we want to make sure to communicate this information with you early and often. If you have any questions, please contact your school principal.
