We are seeing Nosebleeds this time of year. Help prevent it before they begin!
How to help prevent a nosebleed: How to treat a nosebleed?
- Stay calm
- Have the child sit up and lean forward. You want to avoid leaning the head backwards so that they do not swallow any blood
- Gently pinch the nostrils and apply pressure toward the back of the nose for 5-10 min. Do not stuff tissues in the nose
- You can apply a cold compress to the bridge of the nose or the back of the neck to help constrict the blood vessels

Last Week's News
Math Webinar
On Wednesday, November 2, we held two math webinars for elementary parents and guardians in Grades K-2 and Grades 3-5. The webinar shared information about our curriculum review process and why Reveal Math was chosen, shared some components of the program and helped parents understand how they can access the online resources from home. The recordings of the webinar are available for parents.
Note: The video included in the slide deck did not work properly in this session. You can access the video here.
