Mrs. Overfield and Mrs. Hickoff, Secretaries
From the Desk of Mr. Tiemann
We started talking this week about our Positivity Project (P2) Character Strength of #FAIRNESS! Fairness can be complex to teach. It combines both the head and the heart. There are two main approaches: the justice reasoning approach (head) and the care reasoning approach (heart). The two approaches are different, but they're important for you to keep in mind as you interact with and observe how people approach what it means to be fair.
For the next two weeks (starting Monday, Feb. 12), we will be talking about #LOVE! :-) Love represents the way we think, feel, and behave towards the people with whom we have close relationships. When one person loves another person, that person: comforts and makes the other feel safe; sacrifices on the other’s behalf; supports the other during struggles; and places the other’s needs ahead of his/her own. If you love a person, that person makes you feel safe and secure. You can be yourself with that person. You miss that person when he/she is not around.
Please help make that home-to-school connection by using these words and talking about our character strengths with your child(ren). Feel free to share their awesomeness on our State Road Facebook page (@StateRoadElementary) with the hashtag #OtherPeopleMatter.

Please Help Prevent the Spread of Sickness, Head Lice, etc...
Parents: We have had several reported cases of Colds with fevers and the stomach flu over the past few weeks. The best way to prevent the spread of sickness, communicable diseases, or issues such as head lice is to take preventative steps at home prior to sending your child to school. Please also contact the office right away to let us know of any sickness or confirmed case of lice that your child may have. For more ‘health’ related information, please visit the State Road website and select “Student Health Info” under the Information Tab. Thank you!
Please visit the "Student Health Information" section of our website (link below) for more information!
Lice Prevention!
We all need to take preventative measures and educate ourselves and our children on how to prevent the spread of lice. Children should not share combs, hats (including ball caps at sporting events), pillows (at sleepovers), or coats/jackets (especially with hoods).
Children should not 'touch heads' while sitting close to a friend. Children/girls with long hair can keep it pulled back in a ponytail or braids, and spritzed with hairspray and/or tea tree oil. Please also refer to the lice prevention & treatment information found on our website (click the link below):
