Camelot Weekly Drawbridge

We are continuing to focus on our monthly character trait of Gratitude. One way to think about Gratitude is choosing to appreciate the people and things in our lives. Practicing gratitude can increase our well-being and even our happiness!

As I visited classrooms throughout the past week, I had the opportunity to watch as students had discussions about ways in which they both showed and felt others' gratitude. In a primary classroom, I even had a chance to listen in as students self-assessed and reflected on their own gratitude journey throughout the month.

We appreciate your support and reinforcement at home as we learn a new Golden Knight character trait each month!

Warmly,

Brooke Perry

Dear Parents and Guardians:

Vision and hearing screening with be taking place during the school day November 19, 2024.

The Federal Way Nurses will be using a handheld Photo-Screener device when screening large groups. The new photo-screener will allow for more accurate and complete screening including the following:

· Hyperopia (farsightedness)

· Myopia (nearsightedness)

· Astigmatism (blurred vision)

· Anisometropia (unequal refractive power)

· Anisocoria (unequal pupil size)

· Strabismus (Eye misalignment)

This is a screening only. You will receive a notice for referral to a vision specialist if the screening results note any vision discrepancies. Please send your student with their glasses if they are prescribed them.

If you have questions, please contact your school nurse. Vision screening for any student will be completed when requested by parent/guardian.

Thank you,

Alicia Jacobs
