Whew! Can you believe it's already October?! So much has happened at the ELC already! College Go! Week was last week and the students really enjoyed celebrating with Spirit Week. We also hosted our second Careers on Wheels Event and it was AWESOME! Ask your child about his/her favorite vehicle (or helicopter!) from the event.
Mrs. Gutierrez and I went into classrooms last month to read No Hitting for Little Hamster. We also discussed how to tell the difference between someone being rude, mean, and actual bullying. The students were great for the read-aloud and really seemed to enjoy the story.
Our first Kindergarten and Coffee was a hit! I talked about establishing independence and routines in our Kinders both at school and at home. Here is the link to the handout in case you weren't able to make it. Our next K and Coffee is on Oct. 11th from 8:45am to 9:30am. The topic will be "Mindfulness". We hope to see you there!
The Think First Stay Safe body safety program also came into classrooms last month. Handouts went home on that as well. Please talk to your child to see what he/she learned from Ms. Shana.
Looking ahead to this month, we have Red Ribbon Week coming up at the end of October. More information on spirit week (can you tell we love to dress up?!) and additional activities will be coming home soon. Hold on to your seats because it'll be Winter Break before you know it! .
Have a great month and a safe Halloween!

Brickie Kidz Are Busy!
It's been a great start to this school year for our friends in Brickie Kidz Preschool at ELC! Along with making new friends and learning routine and procedures, they have been working hard to master colors and shapes, numbers 1-20, letters Aa-Dd. They are practicing counting as well as sounds and recognition of those letters! Full steam ahead Brickie Kidz!
Flu - Remember to continue to say “BOO” to the Flu! Handwashing is so important! Don’t forget to get your flu shot and stay protected. Contact your healthcare provider or make an appointment at our Brickie Clinic 219-945-9383.
Vaccinations- All students should be up to date on their vaccinations. Indiana state law requires you to have up to date immunizations. If you have any questions or concerns about the new school year 2019-20 requirements, please contact your school nurse. Deadline to turn in vaccinations is October 7, 2019.
Health Conditions- If your student has a specific health condition or needs special care during the school day such as medication, treatments, or monitoring, please inform your school nurse and provide your nurse with a care plan. Individual health care plans help keep your student safe and healthy.
Sick students- Please keep all sick children home from school- this includes fever greater than 100 degrees, vomiting or diarrhea. If you are unsure, please call your healthcare provider or school nurse for advice. Please do not send your student to school and instruct them to go directly to the nurse before the school day begins. If your student is sick, please follow the call off procedures. Again, if you have any questions or concerns please contact your school nurse.
Head Lice- It’s that time of year where our students break out their coats, scarves and hats. Please encourage your child not to share such items as hats, scarves, brushes or any personal items. Lice is not a danger to your child’s health, it is simply an annoying problem that comes around this time of year, so no need to panic. Please know that anyone and everyone can get lice. Getting lice has nothing to do with you being clean or dirty, it only has to do with the fact that you are human. It is very important to check your family for lice this time of year regularly. If you find any live lice or eggs, it is absolutely necessary to treat each “infected” person, but more importantly, you must notify the school so that we can effectively and confidentially assist you with monitoring. The school nurse can assist you with proper treatment options as well as identify and demonstrate for you what to do.
CLOTHING- Please make sure your student has an extra change of clothing in his/her backpack in case needed for unseen circumstances that may arise during the school day.
If you have any questions, please call your school nurse or visit our school web page at http://www.hobart.k12.in.us for more information on student health, school forms, and other helpful links.
