ARL Visited Kindergarten Students
Kindergarten students at Windsor participated in the PAWS for Safety program presented by the ARL. The program includes two classroom visits with an emphasis on dog safety, giving students the tools to be safe and responsible when encountering or interacting with dogs. During the second visit, students have the opportunity to practice and demonstrate how to safely approach and interact with a Therapy Dog certified through the ARL’s TheraPets program. Dr. Moorhead and Ernie visited the students in Mrs. Kairs Class.
3rd grade is learning about estimating and measuring mass.
Kindergarten Earth Day Trash Walk
From Nurse Bennett
Dear Parent/Guardian:
A case of measles has been reported in Iowa. This is the first case in our state since 2011 and is a good reminder to make sure that your family’s vaccines are up to date. The measles vaccine is highly effective (the patient with measles was not vaccinated) and all school-aged children should have two MMR doses by the time they start kindergarten.
If a case of measles is identified in our school, public health officials will require all unvaccinated students and staff to remain at home until 21 days after their last possible exposure to measles. Please make sure your family is protected. Vaccines save lives.
For more information on measles, please visit: https://idph.iowa.gov/cade/disease-information/measles or contact your local health department.
Thank you!
