Student Services Update
Winter 2016
Mid- Year Check In
Now is a good time for a mid year check in. Make it a point to touch base with your case manager and teacher to see how your child is doing. Begin to think about plans for next year before the end of the year to no one is feeling rushed in June.
Review your child's class schedule and work load. Is there ample time built in for leisure? Are homework assignments getting completed? Do you need to follow up on any concerns you had before the holiday season? It's always a good time of year to contact your child's case manager and teacher to check on progress. The IEP season for may students is coming up. A brief discussion with your team may help solve the little problems before they become big concerns.
Wrap it up !

Working with Parents
The high school transition coordinator arranged for a presentation by the Planning for Adult Life organization. All our sessions were well attended by parents.
Mr. Zaccari, our transition coordinator, is making arrangements for follow up sessions for parents of students who will be transitioning to adulthood. Keep an eye out for sessions on how to develop a transition portfolio for your child.
Swimming at LHS
Ms. Rotola has once again provided her students with this opportunity for learning and fun in the high school pool. Many thanks to the staff who volunteered to make this happen including staff from LHS, LIS, and BF. Many hands made this a 'swimming success' !
Parent Advisory Council
At our last meeting we identified several topics for discussion. At this meeting we will work together on the district Social Skills and Transition to Adulthood programming. We will examine current practices and identify needs for the district in these areas.
Thank you to all who attended our last meeting. I certainly hope to see you again at this meeting.

From the Nurse's Office
- Stay home when you are sick. Stay home from work, school, and errands when you are sick. You will help prevent others from catching your illness. Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue away after use and wash your hands. If a tissue is not available, cover your mouth and nose with your sleeve, not your hand.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. Germs spread this way.
- Clean and disinfect surfaces or objects. Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces at home, work or school, especially when someone is ill.
Looking for more information? Contact your school nurse.
