This week, our Tigers were asked two more trivia questions related to Hispanic heritage during morning announcements, and had to opportunity to submit their answers. Check out our winners below, and see if your Tiger remembers the answer to the questions:

1. Name THREE foods from Latin or South America.

2. Can you name one of the three ancient civilizations of Latin and South America?

On Thursday, October 13th, all of our Brader Tigers participated in a Fire Safety Assembly with former Chief Firefighter John Farrell of Aetna Hose, Hook and Ladder Co., along with firefighter Mr. Eugene Paulus, father of one of our own Brader Tigers! Thank you gentlemen, for teaching everyone about fire safety and demonstrating all of the interesting equipment used in your heroic line of work!

We are proud to share that Brader's school success plan goals are directly aligned with our school mission and the district strategic plan, along with our collective "why". The depth of our day to day work supports our intentions to continuously improve the educational experience for our Tigers in order "to nurture and grow leaders, inspiring one child at a time to embrace their educational journey in order to achieve their full potential in life." We will achieve our mission by focusing our work and intentions within the following three pillars:

• Whole Child
• Teaching and Learning
• Community Connection & Pride

The information below is organized within the aforementioned pillars to help our families connect and engage in our shared vision.

Paper applications were previously sent home with students and may also be accessed at the links below:

As a Leader in Me school, Brader would like to empower our students to participate in leadership opportunities throughout their time with us.

As such, we are excited to be introducing our first Student Lighthouse Team (SLT.)

Each student has the opportunity to complete an application, and may be invited to interview, for the opportunity to represent their classroom on our schoolwide team.

This team will collaborate and devise plans for service projects, schoolwide celebrations, and more.

We remind our students that even if they are not selected to be a member of the initial Lighthouse Team, there will be many additional leadership roles they may assume within their classroom and the school.

I-Ready is an online learning environment that is utilzed to assess students and provide students with lessons based on their individual skill level and needs. The lessons are fun and interactive to keep our students engaged as they learn.

The goal is for your student to be performing at or above grade level, which means they have mastered the skills students at that grade level are expected to master and are prepared to learn more advanced skills. Students have different areas of strengths and opportunities for growth. The goal is for your student to be making progress in their learning. After your student has taken more than one Diagnostic in the school year, there will be results for each Diagnostic, allowing you to see the progress your student is making both overall and in each domain. During parent/teacher conferences, your student's teacher can provide additional insight into your child's progress and give you ideas on how to support your student's learning at home. Below are some tips and a link for more detailed information.

Please note that if your child is working on I-Ready lessons at home, it is important that they complete their lessons independently so that I-Ready can provide them with a "path" of future lessons that are appropropriately matched to their individual needs/skills.

https://i-readycentral.com/articles/engaging-families/#share_diagnostic_data_with_families

This year, our goal is to have EVERY family attend a fall parent/teacher conference to discuss student progress. Please be on the lookout for a notification from your child's teacher with an invitiation for conferences. As a reminder, it is very important to collaborate with your child's teacher early in the school year to gain an understanding of your child's strengths as well as areas where growth/support is needed.

An additional goal is to have at least one volunteer per classroom. We know it takes a village and we are so much better together. Please consider signing up to be a volunteer.

Dear Parent/Guardian,

The Christina School District values the role you play in your child’s education. As a team member and thought partner, we want you to have the information you need to participate in educational decisions and meetings such as Individualized Education Plan (IEP) team meetings.

The Delaware Department of Education has revamped their portal for licensure and credentials, called DEEDS 3.0. Utilizing this tool, a parent/guardian can access the Public Information section of the portal to review the credentials and licensure of any educator within the state.

If you would like to access this information, the direct link is:

Should you have any questions or require assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to your child’s school for additional support.

Thank you,
Rebecca Ryan
Director of Special Services

Our staff are trained to prepare their classes for the drills in an age appropriate manner. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us with any questions or concerns. Thank you.

We are excited to announce our “Find Your Fun” theme for this school year!

Hopefully you had an opportunity to review the back to school communication that was published on August 15. We understand that this is a busy time for our families, therefore the highlights are posted below and the letter is attached for your convenience:).

We hope you had an opportunity to review the Kindergarten Welcome Back Letter (attached below for your reference). As a reminder, orientation for Kindergarten students and parents will be held on Tuesday, September 6th, from 9:30 AM-10:30 AM. At orientation, you will receive a nametag for your child’s first day of school and learn about important school procedures. Your child does not ride the bus to or from school on orientation day. At the conclusion of orientation on September 6th at 10:30 AM, all kindergarten students will go home with their parents/family members. We are excited to meet you and strongly urge you to attend orientation on September 6th.

Car Tags

ALL families will be given a set of two numbered hanging car tags to be used when picking up your child/children from the car line. Please display the tag from the rearview mirror for easy viewing. We ask that you help your child/children memorize their car tag number. We plan to distribute car tags at Meet & Greet on September 1st.

Our doors will open at 8:50 AM daily, and will remain unlocked until 9:10 AM as we welcome our students through the front doors. Students that are planning to eat breakfast at school should stop in the cafeteria to key in their student ID in order to pick up a Grab & Go breakfast on their way to their classroom.

Arrival

Walkers - Walkers should enter the building from the front doors and proceed to the cafeteria to purchase breakfast, or proceed directly to class. We encourage all families to say their good-byes outside, however, we will work with K/1/new families to ensure a positive and happy first day/week experience.

Car Riders - Families that are driving to school each morning will enter the school driveway in a single lane, and will travel straight, and then veer left to follow the bend of the car line circle. Families are asked to patiently remain in line along the curb and wait for a staff member on duty to guide you through the circle to a safe stop point where your child will be welcomed to exit the vehicle from the passenger/curbside only. Adults are asked to please remain in the vehicle so that we can move the car line quickly and safely. You may not pass cars that are unloading children. The inside lane of the circle is not for driving or parking. It should only be used for parents pulling out of parking spaces. All cars will stay in line to exit the lot.

Bus Riders - The Department of Transportation will be sending separate transportation mailers that contain your child/children’s bus number and pick up/drop off address/location. Times are not exact, so please be at the pick-up/drop off location 10 minutes earlier than the assigned time. Upon arrival at school, buses will park in the bus lot and will wait for our bus duty staff to dismiss the students on each bus and guide them to the main sidewalk. Students will not be crossing any traffic.

Dismissal

Afternoon announcements will take place at 3:45 PM, followed by dismissal at 3:50 PM with car riders and walkers, followed by bus riders. Please note that we will begin the dismissal process a few minutes early during the first week of school. To ensure the safety of our students, all parents picking up are required to have their photo identification with them EVERY DAY. If you have authorized additional adults to pick up your child/children, they must present photo identification and their names must be listed on the emergency card/office information sheet.

Walkers - K/1 will wait in the cafeteria with car riders and will be released from the cafeteria doors to an authorized parent. 2nd/3rd will exit from the Wetlands Pod side door, and 4th/5th will exit from the Butterfly Pod doors. All walkers will be escorted by staff on duty to a designated safety zone (tree near bus lane at the front entrance to school or the stop sign near the crossing guard on the side of the school). Parents and guardians will be able to meet their child(ren) at these locations. Older siblings, who do not attend Brader, may meet siblings at the stop signs located near the crossing guards, but not on school property. Our duties staff will be outside and ready to help our families learn the designated locations on the first day of school. It is very important that families pick up their child/children at the designated locations so that we are able to maintain a safe and orderly dismissal process.

Car Riders - Due to having a much higher volume of car riders, we will once again be dismissing our car riders from the cafeteria this year, instead of having the children wait outside. We appreciate your patience as we work together to implement the dismissal procedures at the beginning of the year. Upon your arrival, staff will call/signal for your child to be brought outside for pick up, according to their assigned car tag number. Duty staff will ask for identification if they do not recognize the adult picking up. Please notify the office immediately if your car tags are lost or stolen. We hope to disseminate car tags to families at the Meet & Greet on September 1st. To maintain student safety, there is no parking/driving in the bus lane, under any circumstance.

Bus Riders - All bus riders will be escorted to their bus by a member of your child’s grade level team. Buses are expected to arrive at school beginning at 3:45, and typically depart between 3:55-4:10 PM. An announcement will be made on Class Dojo to notify families when all buses have departed.

All students will be able to receive a free breakfast and lunch daily again this year. If your child is allergic to food, please provide a signed physician note to our school nurse stating the allergy. If a special menu is needed, a registered dietician will create a menu for your child. For more information, please contact Child Nutrition Services at 302-454-2400.

Welcome to Brader! I am looking forward to working with you and your child this year. Here is some important information from the Nurse’s Office.

1. EMERGENCY CARDS will be sent home with each student during the first week of school. The card contains a health history. Please complete ALL PAGES, SIGN IN ALL PLACES and return to your child’s teacher ASAP. It is very important that you inform the school of any changes to your address and phone numbers or to the additional contact numbers during the school year so that you can be reached in the event of an Emergency. If your child has a health problem such as Asthma, Seizures or Food Allergies, please inform me so that I can maintain the highest level of care and safety for your child.

2. MEDICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR NEW STUDENTS In most cases, when you registered your child for school you were advised of his/her need for any Immunizations, Physical, TB test or Lead Screening. Please submit this information to the Nurse’s Office ASAP. I will be following up on these items in the next few weeks. According to Delaware regulations, students will be excluded from school if medical requirements are not met.

3. MEDICATION Both prescription and over the counter medications may be administered at school with written permission from the parent/guardian. All medicines must be in the ORIGINAL containers. Prescription medications MUST have the pharmacy label intact – this includes inhalers and nebulizer solution. Controlled medications must be transported to and from school by a parent or other adult. ALL MEDICATION MUST BE KEPT IN THE NURSE’S OFFICE.

4. FEVER/VOMITING If your child develops a fever (temperature of 100 degrees or higher) or vomiting at school, you will be called to come for your child. It is recommended that your child be free of fever (without taking fever-reducers such as Tylenol, Motrin, Advil) or vomiting for 24 hours before returning to school. This helps prevent spread of infection to others and insures that your child is fully recovered and can do his/her best.

5. CLOTHING CHANGE Occasionally, a child will need to change clothes at school (bathroom accident, spilled food etc.) Please send an extra set of clothing to keep in his/her school bag. Sometimes, I can provide clean items, although clean underwear is usually not available. I will send your student’s soiled clothing home with him/her. Please wash and return the loaned items.

6. VISION/HEARING/POSTURE SCREENING All Kindergarten, second and fourth students will be screened for hearing and vision. All fifth grade students will be screened for posture. I will send you a notice if your child needs follow-up with your family doctor.

7. ATTENDANCE Your child’s daily attendance is very important. What he/she learns in Pre-School and Kindergarten is the basis for all future learning. If your child is absent for illness, please provide a note to the teacher within 5 days of his/her return.

8. NEMOURS LINK Christina School District teamed up with Nemours Pediatrics/A.I. DuPont in 2012 in an effort to improve communication and enhance student health. The Student Health Collaboration allows school nurses to obtain health information on your child that would help us better care for your child during school hours. The health information that the nurse would obtain could be seizure action plans, asthma action plans, diabetic action plans, physicals, updated immunizations, etc. Remember this is voluntary and it is confidential. The nurse will only obtain the information that we need to better care for your child, as well as any forms that are required for school. Please return the consent form to the nurse as soon as possible.

We are looking forward to a happy, HEALTHY school year for your child here at Brader. Please feel free to call or visit with any questions.

Sincerely,
