THIS WEEK'S HAPPENINGS
January 31st
Popcorn Fundraiser = Success!
Thank you Giesinger family for a successful Popcorn Fundraiser. We LOVE supporting local businesses while helping our school.
Our top selling class was... MRS. GENTLE's first grade class. Mrs. Gentle's class will get a class pizza party. Congratulations!
Arrival Procedures Reminder
Walker/Car Riders will arrive through the main entrance at the front of our school. For the safe flow of traffic, it is imperative that entering vehicles form one line.
Do not skip to the front of the already established line to get in front of cars that are already parked in order to drop your student off. As a courtesy to our car riders, wait in line.
Students must exit the car on right side. As a courtesy to our large walker/car rider community, there are limited staff available to unload students at 7:15 am. If your child has needs that require more support staff, please wait until all staff is on duty at 7:30 am before dropping your child off. Front porch staff/safety patrol will be present to assist in getting out of the car.
Screen Time Tips
A survey conducted by Common Sense Media indicated that 59% of teens have experienced cyberbullying.
Attendance Matters
Attendance is super important and a large indicator of school success. Help us reach our attendance goal by having students at school each day, on time.
Last Week: 92.93%
Our Goal: 96%
Message from the Clinic
Vision Health: Our Eyes
A child benefits in school by maintaining vision health. It has been estimated that as much as 80% of the learning a child does occurs through his or her eyes. Reading, writing, board work, and using computers are among the visual tasks students perform daily. A child’s eyes are constantly in use in the classroom and at play.
Vision screenings are done at school for PreK, Kindergarten, 1st grade, 3rd grade, 5th grade, and 7th grade, but this far vision screening may miss some eye issues. Vision changes can occur without your child or you noticing them. It is recommended that children receive a professional eye exam at least once every 2 years by a physician. The earlier a vision problem is detected and treated, the more likely treatment will be successful!
If you received a vision or hearing referral form from screenings completed at school this year, have your child’s doctor complete the bottom portion and return it as soon as possible to. If you need a new copy of your student’s referral form or have questions about your student’s results, please contact Nurse Green.
If your child is prescribed glasses, make sure they wear them daily at school! Explain to them the importance of wearing their glasses and also taking care of them.
We want every student to succeed and reminding them to wear their glasses daily is one factor in their success!
