Nurses News
It’s a good time to check the backpacks and make sure the spare clothing you have packed in there is weather appropriate for the season. Brrrrr!!! You never know when spills, mud, or bathroom accidents may occur. Having a change of clothing available will provide comfort for your child and peace of mind for you!
Giesinger Assistance Programs
Throughout the year, various organizations work with Giesinger Elementary offering assistance to students and families. However, due to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), the school cannot release student information without parental consent.
Parents whose children qualify for the Free and Reduced Lunch Program are encouraged to complete the Giesinger Assistance Form (below). This form allows the school to share necessary information with these organizations. However, signing the form does not guarantee assistance, as the type and availability of support can change annually. Consent must be renewed each year.
For Free and Reduced School Meals, parents should complete the secure and confidential application online at www.myschoolapps.com annually for each qualifying child.
Please let me know if you have any questions about this, we are here to support you!
Sincerely,
Laura Heemann
Giesinger Elementary Counselor
Tech Tips
Keeping Youth Safe Online
- Talk with your child about internet safety and potential risks. Regular conversations can help you know what your child is doing and what apps they use.
- Talk with your child calmly, as anger may cause your child to become defensive and less likely to share information with you.
- Talk with your child about what the rules and consequences are when it comes to using devices and being online.
The Book Fair is HERE!
