A Note from Nurse Tina
5th grade parents:
You should have received a bright orange permission form to be completed for your 5th grade student. It is that time of year where we will be discussing growth and development which is part of the health curriculum. A Nurse will present a lesson on hygiene which will include basic anatomy, physiology and healthy habits such as nutrition, grooming and hygiene. The boys and girls will be separated for this discussion. If you have questions or concerns, please contact Nurse Tina at 918-357-6540 or through talking points.
Emergency Epinepherine at School:
With the increase in allergies, we have been allowed to stock an Emergency use only “Epi-Pen” at our school. We can ONLY use this if we have a current permission form on file. These permission forms will be going home within the next few weeks. IF you have not seen one in your child’s Thursday folder, or your student did not give you one to complete, please reach out to Nurse Tina by talking points, email roach.tina@unionps.org or call her at 918-357-6540. If your child has been prescribed an Epi-Pen, please make sure the school has one for your child to ensure we have an emergency one on hand for your child. Thank you!
Dental Clinic Sponsored by OKMOM - February 7th and 8th
Families - Check out the resource below for free dental supports on February 7th and 8th.
Focus on Attendance
Families - This year our school wide focus has been on attendance. Each student has a goal of a minimum of 95% attendance rate. Too many absences causes children to fall behind in school, especially in the area of reading. We continue to ask for your support in this area. Unless a student is running a fever OR vomiting within the last 24 hours they should attend school. If you ever have questions feel free to contact Nurse Tina at 918-357-6540.
Valentine Parties and Hug O'Grams
Families - We will have our Valentine Parties on THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13th at 2pm since we do NOT have school on Friday, February 14th. Please make sure that if your student is giving out Valentines that they bring one for each member of the class. Teachers will be sending out sign up genius links at the end of the month for items that will be needed for the Valentine Party. Also, the PTA will be selling Hug O' Grams from January 16th - February 11th. You may purchase one for $1 or a class set for $20. The Hug O ' Grams will be delivered on February 13th. See order form below.
