The #GRATITUDE Challenge
Next week we will begin talking about the Positivity Project's (P2) Character Strength of "Gratitude." Gratitude means that we are aware of and thankful for the good things that happen in our lives. Sometimes, in the day-to-day grind of work, school, raising children, and "life," we start to lose focus on all that is truly good around us.
To help us bring all that we are grateful for back into focus, I would like to challenge everyone to take the #Gratitude Challenge! It's a simple commitment that only takes a few minutes per day, but the results could be life-changing! Please click the link below for more information!

Attendance Awareness
Attendance matters as early as kindergarten. Studies show many children who miss too many days in kindergarten and first grade can struggle academically in later years. They often have trouble mastering reading by the end of third grade. By middle and high school, chronic absence is a leading warning sign that a student will drop out.

Lice Prevention!
We all need to take preventative measures and educate ourselves and our children on how to prevent the spread of lice. Children should not share combs, hats (including ball caps at sporting events), pillows (at sleepovers), or coats/jackets (especially with hoods).
Children should not 'touch heads' while sitting close to a friend. Children/girls with long hair can keep it pulled back in a ponytail or braids, and spritzed with hairspray and/or tea tree oil. Please also refer to the lice prevention & treatment information found on our website (click the link below):

Please Help Prevent the Spread of Sickness, Head Lice, etc...
Parents: We have had several reported cases of Colds with fevers over the past few weeks. The best way to prevent the spread of sickness, communicable diseases, or issues such as head lice is to take preventative steps at home prior to sending your child to school. Please also contact the office right away to let us know of any sickness or confirmed case of lice that your child may have. For more ‘health’ related information, please visit the State Road website and select “Student Health Info” under the Information Tab. Thank you!
Please visit the "Student Health Information" section of our website (link below) for more information!
