From The Desk Of Annette Doyle - Principal
Dear Noyes Families,
Happy Kindness Month at Peter Noyes! The students showed their spirit by wearing different colors for Food Pantry Week. Thank you so much for any donations you were able to send with your child. It is deeply appreciated. We have been highlighting acts of kindness in February and participating in the Food Pantry is an excellent example of kindness in action. Thank you for your help!
Parent / Teacher Conferences
Although it feels like we just shared report card information, we know that Parent / Teacher conferences will be here before we know it! These are generally shorter conferences, but all families are encouraged to come in (or meet virtually) in March. The early release days that are set aside for Parent / Teacher conferences are: March 6, 13, and 20. Teachers will communicate about how to sign up for your time slot soon. If there are specific topics you want the teacher to address, it is helpful if you share this in advance of the conference.
Update on Colby Caravaggio
I’m excited to tell you that Mr. Caravaggio has been accepted into the Dana Farber Clinical Trial. He was admitted to the hospital this week for the first part of this Phase 1 trial where he received the immunotherapy medication and remained under observation for a few days. This process will be repeated three weeks later. During these absences, Colby’s daughter, Kat, an artist in her own right, will be teaching the class. Ms. Kat, as the students call her, is currently working with the students on their Square One Art projects. She was here last week to work alongside Colby to get prepared for taking over the art classes and we are so grateful to have her join us.
You’ve Got a Friend
Speaking of Mr. C, the latest Mr. Gorgone music video was dedicated to our beloved Colby. Students watched it this week in music class and we also shared it at the all-school gathering too. Mr. Gorgone’s work is extraordinary and we are so grateful to have his magic at Noyes. Mr. C and his family loved this video. Check it out! It will warm your heart too.
Warmly,
Annette Doyle
Thank you for coloring with kindness this week! #FoodPantry
The Illness Gray Zone
Sometimes it is easy to know that your child needs to stay home from school (fever or vomiting). Sometimes, however, it is hard to make that decision. This illness “gray zone” is unique to each child and each illness. If you find yourself unsure, ask the following:
Do they have enough energy to participate in the entire school day, including outdoor recess and P.E.?
Are their secretions manageable? Is their runny nose getting everywhere or making it hard to talk/breathe comfortably?
Is their cough controlled enough to not distract them and the classroom?
Did they need cold medication to feel well enough to get out of bed? Students relying on cold medication often come to the nurse feeling horrible around 11:30 am when the medication has worn off.
Taking care of sick children is not easy. Making the decision about whether to keep them home when they’re in the illness Gray Zone is not easy. Nurse Bradford understands and doesn’t judge, she’s just here to help.
