From the Principal's Desk—
Hello Hilltopper Families:
Today, we had the honor of recognizing local veterans who are friends and family members of Park students during our Veterans Day Assembly. Our students had the chance to meet these brave men and women, personally thank them for their service and show their appreciation through song and poetry. It was a heartwarming and meaningful event for all involved.
I also had the privilege of sharing my office with top fundraiser, Principal Hamilton, on Monday. It was a GREAT day, topped off with an extra recess for everyone. Be sure to check out the pics below.
Additionally, Park students participated in a special election on Election Day, casting their votes for their favorite turtle name! It was exciting to see students gathered around the turtle tank, passionately discussing which name they thought should win. This hands-on voting experience provided a great opportunity for teachers to facilitate important discussions about the significance of voting and having a voice in decisions that matter. Afterward, students proudly received “I Voted” stickers to commemorate their participation. A big thank you to the Chardon Police Department for helping to ensure our ballots were securely collected and escorted to the office for the official count. Be sure to check the newsletter below to find out the winning turtle name!
I look forward to seeing many of you at conferences this evening, as well as on November 14th and November 21st. Your ongoing support at home plays a crucial role in your child's success at school, and we truly appreciate it. Thank you!
Have a wonderful rest of the week and weekend!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Makee

Introducing the new Golden Spoon Award, a weekly recognition for classes that exemplify outstanding behavior in the cafeteria! Each week, we will celebrate the class that is "Toppering Up" and consistently doing the right things, whether it’s following cafeteria rules, maintaining cleanliness or showing kindness to others. The cafeteria staff will determine the weekly winning class. The winning class will not only earn the prestigious Golden Spoon plaque but will also enjoy a mystery prize as a fun reward for their positive efforts.

We are seeing an increase in pneumonia this school year (and you may have been hearing about this in the media, as well.) The clinic's goal in the school setting is to keep kids in school, but also to mitigate/manage illness when illnesses do arise. Here are some helpful tips regarding pneumonia management when it comes to your school-age child. Please call the clinic to speak with Mrs. Park or Mrs. Kolenich if you have any specific questions and thank you for reading this helpful information.
If a child has pneumonia, you should call the school or childcare provider and keep them home until they are well enough to participate in school activities. A child should stay home until they meet the following criteria:
They no longer have a fever for 24 hours, without the use of fever reducing medicine
They are eating and drinking well
They feel up to going to school
Some symptoms of pneumonia include: Coughing, Fever and chills, Rapid breathing or difficulty breathing, Feeling very tired, and Chest pain.
The length of time a child should stay home depends on the type of pneumonia:
Bacterial pneumonia
A child is contagious for about 48 hours after starting antibiotics and their fever goes away.
Viral pneumonia
A child is contagious as symptoms start to go away, especially fever. The contagious period is commonly 7-10 days.
Fungal pneumonia
Fungal infections are not contagious and are not spread from person to person.
To prevent the spread of disease, you should:
- Wash your hands frequently with soap and water
- Avoid contact with people who are showing signs of illness
- Keep drinking glasses and eating utensils separate from other family members

We have had many students showing up bringing cough drops to drop off in the clinic. Please remember, while it is very helpful to have cough drops kept in the clinic for your child, you must fill out an over the counter order form for these and they need to be delivered by the parent to school. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
