Allergy tips from your school nurse

On these windy days, pollen gets blown about and irritates eyes, noses and throats when outside for recess. If your child has seasonal allergies, please maintain their medication routine at home to help them be more comfortable at school.

Additionally, allergy medication may have a tendency to make your child “dry” during the day. This dryness can cause headaches during the school day. Please encourage them to drink more fluids or have a water bottle available during the day to avoid these headaches.

Many children experience itchy, red and even swollen eyes from wind-blown pollen and cool compresses are offered and encouraged.

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week. Don't forget to show your child's teacher how much you appreciate them and the hard work they do to support your child.

It has been a pleasure working with your musicians and watching them grow this year. Please continue to encourage at-home practicing because our May concerts are quickly approaching. Oxford’s concert is scheduled for Monday, May 13th at 2:30 pm. Families are welcome to attend the afternoon concert in the school’s gymnasium. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. We look forward to making beautiful music!

Your child should have received a copy of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. This is the book we are reading as a school. This book is for families to enjoy. The book will not be read in school. The hope is that families can read the book together. A packet was sent home with some activities/questions. If your child completes the activity book and returns in to school by Friday, May 17th they will receive a treat.

Oxford will host our annual field day on Friday, May 24th. We are in need of parent volunteers. We are looking for volunteers for the full day or 1/2 day. Please fill out the form attached and return in to Coach K if you are interested. Thank you in advance for your help.
