Elementary Student Council
Our elementary Student Council kicked off the week with our initial meeting this week. We have 36 students that are interested in serving as our school leaders as we focus on treating others with kindness and respect. These areas were noted last spring in our student survey as areas where we need to improve. We have many activities planned to support our goals of improvement, and will begin meeting every Monday at 7:45 am in our elementary lunchroom, beginning on October 7.

Maker's Club - Grades 3 - 6
Maker's Club exposes students to low and high tech ways of creating things. Students learn to code, use design thinking, construct, build, collaborate in teams, and 3D print. This year, students will combine all of these skills by working to design original board games -- including the boards, the cards, and even the pieces needed to play the game. Students will also work through the exploration of music, sound, and video production using Google CS First.
The elementary library's Maker's Club is now registering students. If your child is interested in Maker's Club, have him/her stop in the library to sign up today through Oct. 14th.

Cadott Hearing Screening
With the help of the UWEC Communications and Disorders Department we were able to screen 283 students in the elementary school in September.
Healthy hearing contributes to children's academic performance and social development, so it's important to know about any changes in your child's ability to hear his or her teachers and peers.
Hearing screenings in schools play an important role in identifying children who may have hearing loss, putting them at risk for poor academic performance unless intervention and appropriate management is provided. Even a minimal hearing loss can make it hard for a child to listen and learn in a classroom.
Parents are notified of any children that are found to have concerns and it is recommended that they follow-up with their doctor for further evaluation.
Thank you again to UWEC and the Communications and Disorders Department for their commitment to helping our school and community!
Cadott Vision Screening
With the help of the Cadott Lions Club we were able to screen 303 students in the elementary school and 131 students at the Junior/Senior High School using a Welch Allyn Spot Vision Screener in September.
Vision disability is one of the most prevalent conditions among children. One out of four children suffer from vision problems. With this new technology it is much easier and quicker to screen children for a variety of possible vision problems.
The Spot Vision Screener can screen for and detect six amblyopic risk factors in children as young as 6 months.
• Myopia (nearsightedness)
• Hyperopia (farsightedness)
• Astigmatism (blurred vision)
• Anisometropia (unequal refractive power)
• Strabismus (eye misalignment)
• Anisocoria (unequal pupil size)
Parents are notified of any children that are found to have concerns and it is recommended that they follow-up with their doctor for further evaluation.
Thank you again to our Cadott Lions Club for their commitment to helping our school and community!
