Flu and cold season in schools
1. If students require medication at school, you must have a form on file with the school. Also, medication needs to be transported by an adult, not a student.
2. Students with a temperature over 100 degrees or vomiting, must be out of school. They must be vomit and fever free for 24 hours WITHOUT the aid of medicine. Giving your child Tylenol in the morning for a fever, usually means a 10:00 AM phone call with a sick kid.
3. Homework. It is good practice to communicate with your child's teacher about work when they are out.
4. Documentation. Anytime your child sees a doctor or has an appointment, get a note. Putting doctor and dentist excuses in our system helps with attendance matters.
5. Don't forget to call the school when your child is out sick. Please call before 8:00 AM, 793-1118.
Here is a letter from Ms. Quistorf explaining guidelines for dealing with illness as it relates to schools.
March Title 1 Tip
CAFÉ Strategy: Use Pictures, Illustrations, and Diagrams
Dear Families,
As your child is progressing through the year, we would like to update you with another CAFÉ strategy to reinforce at home. CAFÉ is an acronym that stands for Comprehension (I understand what I read), Accuracy (I can read the words), Fluency (I can read smoothly and understand what I read), and Expanding vocabulary (I know, find, and use interesting words).
One way readers expand their vocabulary is by paying attention to pictures, illustrations, and diagrams in a text. They use the context of the story, their background knowledge of what is being read, and at times infer to gain meaning of what is being read. Readers do this because illustrations provide clues about the meaning of words and text. Paying attention to the pictures may confirm the meaning of words. Help your child become familiar with this strategy by using the following suggestions at home.
How to help your child with the vocabulary strategy at home:
When reading with your child, remind your child to cross check. A reader cross checks by asking, “Do the pictures match what I think the word means, and does it make sense?”
Model this strategy by breaking it down in these steps
Read a picture book or nonfiction book.
When you come to a difficult or “interesting” word, stop.
Say, “I’m going to look at this picture to see if I can figure out what this word means.”
Infer the words meaning based on background knowledge of text and what is shown in the picture.
Celebrate figuring out the word - remind your child that using pictures helped to increase your understanding of the text.
Thank you for your continued support!
