Birthday Lunch with a Loved One
I am excited to share that we will be allowing a member of a student's family to come and have a celebratory lunch with their child for their birthday. I understand that many birthdays have past and some are over the summer, therefore you are more than welcome to choose a day prior to the end of the year. We ask if you are planning to come and have lunch that you please let the office know ahead of time so that we know how many adults will be at lunch time and be sure we can accommodate. I don't foresee this to be a problem, however we just want to be prepared. Hope this allows everyone a little more joy in the new year.
Valentine's Day
Just a friendly reminder that there is not designated Valentine's Day parties this year. Our classroom teachers will allow time to pass out valentines for their students and have some fun with their class. If your child is sending valentines there must be one for everyone in the class. Candy valentines are allowed, however all candy will be sent home for families to determine what they would like their child to eat. Classroom teachers will send a list of student names home for your child to address their valentines.
Late Arrival to School
Wild Rose Families - We have a large number of students (25 Plus) arriving after the 8:00 am bell and there is no longer supervision. Drop off is as early as 7:45 and the bell rings at 8:00 am for school to begin. I highly recommend planning to be here by 7:55 to be on time. Even with the cold temperature it is the expectation that parents get out of their vehicles to sign-in their child in, if they are arriving at or after the 8:00 am bell. The front office will begin emailing parents that are sending their child or children to the front door without a parent to sign-them in. Please partner with us and help get your child to school on time. If there is anything we can do to help please let us know.

POLICY FOR ADMINISTERING MEDICINE TO STUDENTS
7:270 Administering Medicines to Students
Students should not take medication during school hours or during school-related activities unless it is necessary for a student's health and well-being. When a student's licensed health care provider and parent/guardian believe that it is necessary for the student to take a medication during school hours or school-related activities, the parent/guardian must request that the school dispense the medication to the child and otherwise follow the District's procedures on dispensing medication.
No School District employee shall administer to any student, or supervise a student's self-administration of, any prescription or non-prescription medication until a completed and signed School Medication Authorization Form (SMA Form) is submitted by the student's parent/guardian. No student shall possess or consume any prescription or non-prescription medication on school grounds or at a school-related function other than as provided for in this policy and its implementing procedures.
Nothing in this policy shall prohibit any school employee from providing emergency assistance to students, including administering medication.
