Weekly Update: September 15-20
Dear Steenbergen MS Families,
We hope this message finds you well! It’s hard to believe that the first grading period is coming to a close in just one week. Our Lions have already settled into their routines and are making great strides.
Our morning Jumpstart program continues to thrive, with students arriving early to catch up, reassess, or reinforce their learning. Our dedicated staff is committed to supporting our students’ success from the moment they step through the door each day. We are truly fortunate to have such a passionate team and engaged students!
We have some exciting events planned for the final week of September, including the kickoff of Hispanic Heritage Month and a series of fun student challenges to celebrate our students’ achievements during our half day on September 26th.
Lastly, we want to remind you of our Open House, scheduled for this Thursday, September 19th, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Spriti shirts will be on sale for $20; both cash and cashless sales will be available for your convenience. Our book fair will also be available so that you and your child can shop comfortably. We look forward to seeing you there!
Warm regards,
Steenbergen Administration

Nurse's Newsletter
Dear Parents,
We hope this message finds you well. We wanted to take a moment to remind everyone about our medication policy to ensure the safety and well-being of all our students.
Students are not allowed to carry any medications in their backpacks, including over-the-counter options like Tylenol, Motrin, Advil, Aleve, Midol, Tums, Claritin, Benadryl, Zyrtec, cough drops, and/or cold medications. All medications, whether over-the-counter or prescription, must be administered from the school clinic.
If your child requires medication during school hours, please follow these guidelines:
1. Parent Delivery: All medications must be brought to school by a parent or guardian.
2. Authorization: Each medication must have a signed authorization from both the physician and the parent, detailing the medication, reason for administration, dosage, timing, and amount.
3. Original Containers: Medications must be in their original containers. Prescription medications should also be in the original pharmacy container with the child’s name, medication date, and dosing instructions.
4. Amount: Please bring only the necessary amount of medication for school use.
5. Pharmacy Requests: If needed, you may request a second bottle from the pharmacy specifically for school.
Please note that medications such as antibiotics that are taken three times a day or every eight hours should be administered at home—ideally before breakfast, after school, and at bedtime.
Additionally, the only exceptions to this rule are Epi-Pens and asthma inhalers, which students may carry with the proper forms completed by both a physician and a parent.
Our clinic does not stock any over-the-counter medications, so if your child needs any, please ensure they are sent by you. If you have any questions or need to discuss your child's medication needs, please feel free to reach out to me directly.
Thank you for your cooperation and support in keeping our students safe and healthy.
Best regards,
