In April the Theme in Counselor Time is Careers. A Career is an occupation undertaken for a significant period of a person’s life and with opportunities for progress. Please talk to your child about your career. Talk to them about how you obtained your career. Help them to research possible careers they would enjoy.
Third grade parents, we will have our Career Fair in the parking lot (unless it is raining) of the CAPS building (this is a change of location) on April 25th from 9:15 am-11:15 am. Presenters will need to be there at 9 AM. If you would like to volunteer to talk about your career, please email me and let me know. We would be thrilled to have you!
Students are participating in the Kansas State Assessments for grades three, four, and five. Please make sure that your child is here everyday during testing, that they get a good breakfast and plenty of rest. We want them to do their very best! If you haven't already, please send your letters back to your child’s teacher. If you need another paper please let me know ASAP!

April 1 and 2: 4th and 5th Reading
April 3 and 4: 3rd Reading
April 10 and 11: 5th Science
April 15 and 16: 3rd, 4th and 5th Math
If your child needs any other kind of support, please let me know.

Happy Easter!!

From the health office staff:
The health office has completed all hearing and vision screening for this year. If your student struggled with screening or did not pass, you would have received a phone call and a referral letter from the health office. If you have any concerns about your student’s vision or hearing please contact the health office staff.
With the increase in news concerning Measles outbreaks, the following is just for your information.
- Measles symptoms appear 7 to 14 days after contact with the virus. Measles typically begins with:
- High fever (may spike to more than 104°F)
- Cough
- Runny nose (coryza)
- Red, watery eyes (conjunctivitis/pink eye)
- 2-3 days after symptoms begin, tiny white spots (koplik spots) may appear inside the mouth.
- Measles rash appears 3 to 5 days after the first symptoms. In a typical presentation, which might be seen in under or not-immunized individuals, it usually begins as flat red spots that spread from the head to the trunk, and then out to the arms and legs. Small raised bumps may also appear on top of the flat red spots.
- Small raised bumps may also appear on top of the flat red spots.
- The spots may become joined together as they spread from the head to the rest of the body.
- When the rash appears, a person's fever may spike to more than 104° Fahrenheit.
As we start to wind down the school year, all over-the-counter medication sent into the health office must be picked up by a parent before the last day of school. The health office will begin to send home letters with your student if you have medications to be picked up. Any medications left in the health office after the last day of school will be discarded.
The health office will begin mailing out letters if we are missing any documents from your student’s health file. If you received one and have a question please contact Denise Rebel RN at rebeld@usd385.org.
Thank you,
