Eagle Elementary
February 19, 2021
Dear Eagle Families,
This was certainly an atypical week! I hope the kiddos had a chance to enjoy the snow on a least a few occasions...and for the adults, I hope your backs are recovering from the snow shoveling.
A few other items to note:
E-Days: Well that was a week! Thank you for your flexibility as we adapted to whatever Mother Nature sent our way. Please note that students have one week to complete their e-day work.
Yearbook Ordering: LAST WEEK TO ORDER! Orders are due on February 26th.
Remote Learners - If you are interested in submitting photos of your students learning at home for the yearbook, please email them to Annette Sinsko at asinsko@zcs.k12.in.us

Recess Reminders
Each child is expected to be suitably dressed for play outdoors. As the weather turns colder, each child needs a winter coat, hat, and gloves.. Snow pants, waterproof boots, warm gloves/mittens are required to be able to play in the snow. All children play outside except on rainy, icy, or very cold days (wind chill below the 10-20 degree range). Inside recess will be held on those exceptional days. A child who is well enough to come to school is well enough to go outside and play. Exceptions will be made if parent/guardians send in a note from the doctor stating that the child needs to stay inside. While each school’s recess safety protocol is unique to its campus and is available on school websites, all ZCS students honor the following safety code: We play together kindly and look after one another. We treat playground equipment with care, and share with others. We respect the adults who look after us. We always tell an adult if we need help resolving a conflict or if someone is injured. We stop and listen for directions when the bell/whistle sounds. We walk sensibly to our lines and quietly to our classroom

Second Step Home Links are simple, fun activities that encourage interaction between students and their adult family members, caregivers, or other important adults. The activities give students a chance to practice Second Step skills outside of school and help families learn about the skills so they can use them at home.
HOME LINKS for this Week’s Second Step Lessons are as follows:
K Lesson 20- Inviting to Play: No Home Link
1st Grade Lesson 20- Inviting to Join In: No Home Link
2nd Grade Lesson 20- Responding to Playground Exclusion: No Home Link
3rd Grade Lesson 20- Solving Peer Exclusion Problems: No Home Link
4th Grade Lesson 20- Taking Responsibility for Your Actions: https://assets.ctfassets.net/wjuty07n9kzp/5ZaQIjSJYVtubCSuCCgFjo/0a2b431285e1a22a3892dbb1f956c610/G4L20_Home_Link.pdf
COVID TESTING
There is some new information on our radar which was confirmed through a conversation with the Boone County Health Department this past week. We want families informed so they can make the best decision for your respective family members.
Some COVID tests are not currently accepted by the Department of Health for return to school/work –
- The only negative result that will allow a child/staff member back into school is a PCR. (Per IN Dept of Health and Boone County Health Department, a negative rapid antigen test for SARS-CoV-2 is not acceptable for a return to school.)
- Schools can accept any antigen test if it comes back positive---We will treat as a positive case (Through this process, we will inform you of isolation/quarantine protocols as required by the state and county health departments.)
- If a family/household member has a PCR antigen test that comes back negative and the individual has no symptoms, then no other testing is necessary. Students can return to school.
- If symptomatic and rapid antigen comes back negative then a follow up PCR test is required due to the high rate of false negatives in the rapid antigen test.
Important NOTE: * If an individual has had a close contact with a positive COVID case, a negative test cannot shorten the quarantine period.
