From the Principal Desk—

Hello Hilltopper Families!

It was so nice to see you all at our Open House last Thursday. I know the teachers were thrilled to have an opportunity to show you their rooms, highlight your student’s work space and also give you the chance to ask questions. This week our students have successfully completed their MAP Reading and Math benchmark tests. These assessments provide valuable insights into their academic progress and help us tailor our instruction to better meet their needs. I’m looking forward to seeing the results! Your child’s teacher will keep you updated on their progress and achievements as we review the data.

A special shout out to our PTO for keeping us cool during some of our hot days with delicious popsicles. Thanks for helping us beat the heat!

As we approach the long Labor Day weekend (NO SCHOOL FRIDAY AND MONDAY), I hope you are able to relax, unplug and enjoy some quality time with family and friends. Whether you’re planning to bask in the sunshine, explore local events or perhaps visit the Great Geauga County Fair, I hope you make the most of this extended break.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership in your child’s education. I wish you a joyful and restful weekend!

Sincerely,
Mrs. Makee

Shelter Friends -please help us send an All four Paws Up Shout out to Nora! She and her Dad stopped by today where our Zero - now available for adoption - accepted her Lemonade stand donation. In just two days, she raised approx $196.00 for our Visitors. WHAT A WONDERFUL AND GROWN UP thing to do. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Nora for spoiling our Visitors just a little bit more

**We are in need of gently used girls long sleeve shirts and leggings and boys underwear in the clinic.**

Hello Parents and Guardians! Here are a few clinic updates/reminders:

1. We cannot administer medications in the school clinic without an order (this includes prescribed and over the counter medications). Here are a few examples to refer to (but there are more examples):

*Your child has a cough and asks for a cough drop in the clinic. In order to provide cough drops to your child at school, you will need to fill out an over-the-counter order form and provide cough drops to the school for your child (which we will keep locked in the clinic).

*Your child has a rash (undiagnosed) that is recognized at home OR at school. We will call you about any rash that we see at school; however, we will not put hydrocortisone (or any ointment) on the rash. The rash would need to be treated outside of school. If an ointment is prescribed, the doctor could fill out a medication form to have the ointment school OR a parent could fill out an over-the-counter form and provide an ointment to the school (when the rash cause has been identified.)

Those are just a few examples, but please feel free to call if you have any other examples to review with us!

2. Prior to the holiday weekend, I wanted to ask parents and guardians to please address issues with bug bites at home prior to coming to school. We have many students asking teachers to come to the clinic with reports of bug bites that occurred outside of school. These bites can be very distracting to kids (and anyone!) so please address them properly at home to avoid unnecessary trips to the clinic. If left unaddressed, we can simply intervene by providing vaseline to the area and ice pack for comfort.

Thank you again for letting us care for your awesome children and for partnering with us to keep our school happy, healthy and safe!!

Students get to look through all of the books we will read and decide how they feel about the book. We discussed what they thought the module would be about and what all the books had in common--BOOKS! :) We also talk about the fact that our opinion of the book might change after we read the book!

First Grade is eager to learn about Books Around the World!
