TRAFFIC NOTES
NASSAU ROAD: I have been asked to share that the Crossing Guards on duty are not allowed to direct traffic for cars making the left from Nassau to Cambridge during morning arrival. The duty of the Crossing Guard is to ensure that all students and pedestrians are able to safely cross the road. Please consider lining up on Cambridge, rather than using Nassau. Thank you!

Five Ways to Beat a Cold
- Wash your hands often. Most colds are transmitted through indirect physical contact.
- Drink plenty of fluids. It helps flush germs from your body.
- Get a good night’s sleep. This keeps your immune cells powered up.
- Keep at least three feet away from coughers and sneezers. This helps avoid contact with airborne droplets, which may make you sick.
- Have chicken soup. Any warm fluids can help relieve cold symptoms and act as an expectorant.
Sleep
School age children need 10-12 hours of a sleep a night. Lack of sleep can cause irritable or hyper types of behavior and may make it more difficult for kids to pay attention in school. It is important to have a consistent bedtime. No matter what your child’s age, establish a bedtime routine that encourages good sleep habits. These tips can help ease kids into a good night’s sleep:
- Power down. Turn off electronics at least one hour before bedtime. If your child has a TV in their room, consider removing it. Research shows that children who have a TV in their room tend to sleep less.
- Create a calming routine. Winding down each night with the same routine signals that it is time for sleep.
- Stick to a bedtime. Alert your child a half hour and 10 minutes beforehand.
