PLANT SEEDS OF KINDESS AND WATCH THE LOVE GROW!
RANDOM ACTS OK KINDNESS WEEK
February 12th to 18th is Random Acts of Kindness Week. Also, February 6th -10th is School Counselor’s Week. In honor of these two weeks we will be “Planting Seeds of Kindness and Love" by performing Random Acts of Kindness. What can you do to plant seeds of kindness? Make a card for a family member or friend, help mom and dad at home, hold open a door, give someone a compliment. Visit this website for ideas. http://www.randomactsofkindness.org/ Think of different ways to show kindness to your family and friends. Write your kind acts on the speech bubbles on our Kindness bulletin board.
HEALTH ROOM HAPPENINGS
Hello everyone! I just have a few reminders since we have been in school for almost ½ of the school year already.
Please remember that:
1. We need parent excuses for any absence or tardy. If your child has been out of school longer than 3 school days the district is requiring a Dr. note or excuse, if you have any questions please feel free to call or email myself or your student’s teacher.
2. Please remember, if your child has been running a temperature above 100 degrees, they must be fever free for at least 24 hours without the aid of Tylenol or Motrin before returning to school.
3. If your student has been vomiting please keep them at home until they have not vomited for 12 hours and have been able to keep food in their stomach.
4. Please remember that you should be aware that head lice do occur within the school setting the same as outside the school. If you have any questions regarding if your child has head lice, or treatment of it, please feel free to contact me.
5. FYI, at the present time we are seeing a stomach virus, respiratory virus with a high fever and the flu in the health room. I just like to let parents know, so you are aware.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 610-965-1587. Thank you for all you do and for sharing your children with us!

Certified School Nurse
