Counselor's Corner
Helping Your Child With Transition
It is very normal for children to worry about transitioning to a new grade or school. Some children will be affected by grade/school transitions more than others.
Whether your child is entering junior high, or just moving up another grade, preparing him/her is very helpful and important.
- Focus On The Positives: new friends, new teachers, and new opportunities
- Address Fears: listen to and validate your child’s fears, talk about fears you had at their age & how you handled it
- Attend School Events: take advantage of orientations, many include tours of the building, looking at lockers, getting class schedules
- Reach Out For Support: if your child is experiencing high levels of stress or anxiety about the upcoming transition, consult available resources (books, internet, family friends) or reach out to the school counselor and teacher
Fun Family Summer Ideas
Spending quality time with your child does not have to be expensive. Sometimes the most valuable things don’t cost any money at all:
- Take a walk or go for a bike ride around your neighborhood.
- Visit the art museum or the Indiana State Museum.
- Go to the park. Pack a picnic lunch and invite some friends!
- Go to the public library. They have great activities all summer long.
- Start a family book club. Read the same book as your child and discuss.
- Go for a hike at one of the state parks.
- Have your child keep a journal of their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Keep them in the habit of writing.
- Do a family community service project. Pick up litter, work at a food bank.
- Teach your child how to cook and bake.
- Write letters to friends and family.
Have a great summer FCI students and parents! Mr. Kozloski & Mrs. Sullivan

Immunization Requirements
Fifth Grade Parent/Guardian:
The Indiana State Department of Health requires additional immunizations for students in 6th grade. These requirements will apply to your current 5th grade student for the next school year. Even though your student is up to date for this school year, two additional vaccines are necessary for entry into 6th grade. Your child will be eligible for the immunizations when they are eleven years of age.
Completing these immunizations during the school year is your best option as physician’s offices and health departments are extremely busy during the summer months. The state required 6th grade immunizations are as follows:
· One meningococcal (MCV4) vaccine
· One Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis) booster
The state requires the school to have documentation that every student entering 6th grade has received the state required vaccines prior to the start of school. After your child receives the required 6th grade vaccines, please send a copy of the updated immunization record to Fall Creek Intermediate.
Updated immunization records can be emailed, faxed, mailed, or hand delivered to Fall Creek Intermediate, Attention Jamie Weber/School Nurse. Please contact Jamie Weber/School Nurse at jweber@hse.k12.in.us with any questions or concerns.
