Cold, stomach bug and flu season is upon us. Here are a few reminders about when to keep your student home to rest:

● Fever greater than 100, without the help of fever reducing medications

● Vomiting (even if it happened once)

● Diarrhea

● Chills

● General malaise or feelings of fatigue, discomfort, weakness or muscle aches

● Frequent congested (wet) or croupy cough

● If your student has a confirmed case of an illness from the Doctor (Strep, Influenza,

Covid, etc.) please let the office know when you report their absence.

Students may return to school if:

● Fever free for 24 hours, without the use of fever reducing medication

● Vomiting free for 24 hours

● Symptoms have resolved or otherwise directed by a doctor

Student Carry Medications:

Students who carry medications on them at school ( epi-pen, inhaler, ect.) MUST have a

doctor order on file with the Med Office. This order must be signed by the doctor and parent.

These can be found on the RCS website.

• For those students that do have orders on file and self-carry medications, please remember

that there is a special responsibility that goes along with carrying medication. This is a great

time to have students who self-carry communicate with their teachers/coach/bus driver and

show them where their medication is kept, especially if it were to ever possibly be needed in an

emergency situation. Please remind your student their medication is to only be taken by YOU,

the student and not shared with other students for any reason.

Peanut Alert School and Halloween Candy Reminder

As a friendly reminder, Romeo Middle School is a peanut alert school. Please be sure that

your student does not bring Halloween candy to school that contains peanut or tree nuts.

Most chocolate candies may contain peanut or tree nuts and are NOT safe for school.

Boys Basketball Tryouts will be held the 2nd week of November. Students were sent a Google Form on Monday to put their name on the tryout list.

Greetings from the RMS Counseling office!

*Although October Anti-Bullying Awareness month is coming to a close, please remind your child to BE KIND to themselves and others.

*If your student experiences or witnesses something unkind, always empower them to report it to a trusted adult. Our number one priority at Romeo Middle School is for all students to feel happy, healthy, and safe.

*A great resource to review with your child is the “THINK” poster. It can be utilized both before and after words are spoken.

*End of Trimester: Friday, November 11th concludes our first trimester. Over the next two weeks, have your child show you their grades on PowerSchool. If you have specific questions, please contact the classroom teacher directly.

*7th grade: Mrs. Skover continues to visit classrooms to complete interactive Xello lessons with students! Please ask your child at home about the outcome of the questionnaires they have been completing. It has been awesome seeing students learn about new careers that they were not aware of or interested in before!
