A Note from the Nurse
Fifth's Disease
Fifth disease is viral illness that most kids recover from quickly and without complications. It's especially common in kids ages 5 to 15. Fifth disease causes a distinctive red rash on the face that makes a child appear to have a "slapped cheek." The rash appears after several days and may spread. It may also be accompanied by a sore throat, slight fever, upset stomach, headache, fatigue and itching. It is spread by coughs, sneezes, touching, sharing drinks, and touching contaminated surfaces. The virus usually clears up on its own. However, in the middle school and elementary this virus can life-threatening for some of our students. If your child has a rash as described, please let us know so we can take the appropriate precautions.
Order your Falcon spirit wear!

Be Alert Presentation
A message from Blair Oaks Middle School....
Based on feedback from our BMS parents, we know there is a growing need to educate parents and students on the potential dangers our kiddos face when using social media. In the ever-changing present world we live in, we recognize this is continually changing and it is important for all of us to continue educating ourselves.
In September, we have Russ Tuttle coming to present to our families and students. He is a part of the Stop Trafficking Project. His presentations focus on the role social media plays in exploiting vulnerabilities.
A "caring adult" presentation is being offered for the entire community on Tuesday, September 3rd in the Middle School Gym starting at 6:00pm. Russ and his team will present at an assembly the following day for our students.
Be Alert has two simple goals:
1. Adults - move them from awareness to action
2. Students - educate and empower them to be safe
