HV Update 9-27-2024

A message from your principal, Mrs. Stager

Dear HV Families,

September is nearly over and it was definitely a successful month! The kindergarteners enjoyed their very first Bookwormy last night. Thank you to Mrs. Munro the HSA for sponsoring a very enjoyable evening.

There is a lot of new information in the HSA section of the newsletter, so be sure to take a few minutes to review.

Have a great weekend and we'll see you back at HV on Monday!

Best,

Allison

Attendance

As September draws to a close, please review your child's attendance in Realtime. We understand students will be absent from time to time. However, chronic absenteeism at Hilliview is on the rise. Please make every effort to ensure your child attends school regularly and on time. Loss of instruction will negatively impact academic achievement.

News from the Nurse

Fall Allergy Season is here! Yep- It's not just a Spring thing. The most common culprit for fall allergies is ragweed, a plant that grows wild almost everywhere! Ragweed blooms and releases pollen from August to November. Common ragweed allergy symptoms include: Nasal congestion, Runny nose with watery discharge, Postnasal drip, Sneezing, Coughing, Eye swelling, Hives on the skin.

How can you minimize the impact of symptoms during ragweed season?

Limit time outside when pollen counts are high. If you do go out, wash your hands and face after being outdoors.
Take your allergy and/or asthma medicine as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
Keep windows closed during pollen season.
Avoid touching your eyes.
Keep windows and doors shut at your home; close the windows of your car while driving.
Shower after being outside to remove pollen from your skin and hair.
Dry laundry indoors rather than on a clothesline outdoors.
