We have been learning about non-fiction books. Just about everyone 2nd-5th grades should be done with their STAR testing where they are learning their reading range.
Reminder to 1st-5th grades to get those Library Letters signed and returned!
Students are encouraged to read 20-30 minutes every night to improve reading levels.
NURSE RX
Parents,
You have probably had questions about the E-Mail notifications regarding Care Dox. These notifications are coming from District Office. Care Dox is a program that helps each nurse take care of your children here at school. On this program you give me consent for certain medication such as Tylenol, ibuprofen, cough drops, and Tums. Also this site gives me information that is helpful for me to take care of your child. This includes whether they have an allergy to food or medications and if they need to take medication here at school. Without this information I cannot give your child any medication, and if I cannot get a hold of you then your child has to wait to get relief from a fever or a headache for example.
I hope that this answers any questions regarding this site. Please feel free if you have any questions to call 892-9705 or e-mail the nurse at nancy.moore@matsuk1.2us
