Have a wonderful weekend.

5th GRADE FUND
Do you know what the 5th Grade Fund is? It's money that the PTO spends to celebrate our 5th Grade students as they attend their last year at Cambridge School. Even if your child is not a 5th grader this year, you should support this sale because one day your child WILL be a 5th grader at Cambridge School and the PTO will celebrate them as well!
As part of the 5th Grade Fund, the PTO provides FREE to each 5th Grade Student:
- Special 5th Grade T-Shirts with each student's signature
- Yearbooks
- Refreshments at the 5th Grade Farewell
- Funds to offset the cost of the 5th Grade Trip
From the Health Office
Physicals
All kindergarten students and students new to the school district need a physical and need to submit a form. If you have any questions or need a form, please contact me.
Medication at School
All medications, prescription or over the counter, given at school must have a note from your physician on a school form or the doctor’s letterhead. The medication must be in its original container with your child’s name and be brought into school by an adult. If needed, you may ask your pharmacist for a separate container for school use. Please do not send in any medication with your child.
Home and School Health Connection
Parents are encouraged to contact me at any time if their child appears to be having a health related issue. Some examples include:
- Vision or hearing difficulty
- Allergies, illness or injury
- Taking medication or a medication change
- Eating disturbances or sleeping difficulties
- Specific chronic complaints
In order to keep your child’s health records up to date, please advise me of any of the following occurrences:
- All doctor’s visits (well child exam or health problem visit)
- All visits to the emergency room
- Any overnight hospital stays
- Any immunizations received by your child
- Physical restriction of your child’s activity
- Any communicable diseases
- Eye doctor appointments or corrective lens change
Finally, Please make sure I have your phone number or another responsible person in the event of an emergency. Thank you!
I’m looking forward to a healthy year for all the children!
