Brianna Silva
Mrs. Silva recently started as the second Speech Language Pathologist at North Elementary. She primarily services our preschool and kindergarten students. This is Mrs. Silva's 7th year as an SLP. She earned her BA from the University of Rhode Island and her MS from the University of Sydney in Australia. Her favorite part of being an SLP is experiencing a child making progress towards their communication goal and watching their confidence grow from it!
Parent teacher conferences will be held in-person on December 5 from 12:30-7:00 PM. Classroom teachers should have emailed sign up links directly this past week, but the links to all faculty sign-ups can be found on this document. In addition to classroom teachers, the document includes related service providers (speech, occupational therapy, BCBA), SEL providers (psychologist, school adjustment counselor), specialists (art, music, health, PE, technology), special educators, interventionists, and our English Learner teacher. Appointments must be made 24 hours in advance!
A few reminders from Nurse Stephanie in our Health Office to help keep all of our students safe and healthy:
Students with active vomiting, diarrhea, open rashes, crusty/inflamed eyes, and/or temperature > 100 are asked to remain home from school.
Students may return from school when their temperature is < 100 for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication.
Illness Specific:
Strep: Students must be on antibiotics for 24 hours before returning to school, and they need a note to return.
Pink eye: Must be on antibiotics for 24 hours before returning to school.
Hand Foot Mouth: Fever-free for 24 hours and no open skin lesions. All areas must be scabbed/closed over
Vomiting/Diarrhea: May return when tolerating good amounts of food/water and no vomiting/diarrhea for 24 hours
Please do not send medication to school in your child’s backpack. Anything with an active ingredient is designated a medicine in school. This includes cough syrup, cough drops, ointments, nasal sprays, vitamin gummies, etc. If you would like to have any medications available for your child at school, please notify the Health Office.
Students after surgery, for hurt or broken limbs, sprains, strains, or any student with assistive devices (splints, casts, boots, crutches, etc.) must have a note to be in school as well as MD clearance or restrictions for recess/PE.
Please notify the Health Office if your child has RSV, Covid, Influenza, or Strep.
Grade 4 physicals are due to be updated! Please send in your student’s most recent physical if you have not done so already.
Vision/Hearing screenings have started for K-5. Grades 1 and 4 are mandated to have BMI screenings, however, you can opt out via the forms that will be sent home.
