Root Medical Detectives would like to thank the nineteen patient volunteers who took time to join our classes during a diagnostic simulation. Students grabbed their clipboards and lab coats and went to work questioning the patient volunteers about symptoms, timelines, and transmission. Our volunteers were authentic as they assumed their roles as patients, making this experience much more realistic. After analyzing vital signs, physical exam results and the data gathered in the interviews, our Medical Detectives diagnosed their patients and confirmed with lab results. The simulation provided the perfect opportunity for students to get a glimpse into the problem solving medical practitioners go through everyday. Thanks again to all of the volunteers for making this a great experience.

The 6th Grade Incredibles Team recently made 93 blankets for the Chelsea Cares nonprofit organization. These blankets will be given to patients at Akron Children's Hospital. We are thankful to our parents who helped us cut the fabric and to our students who worked diligently during team time to help complete the blankets.

We are quickly approaching the end of the school year and it is time to start thinking about all of the activities that make it special. This is a return to our end of the year activities.

We have tentatively planned for our students: (Keep Your Fingers Crossed!!)

• May 20, 2022 - 8th Grade Luau
• Week of May 23rd - 8th Grade Cedar Point Trip
• May 26, 2022 - 8th Grade Recognition
• May 26, 2022 - Field Day (6th & 7th Graders Only)

More details to follow in future correspondence.

Root does have a few requirements in order for 8th graders to participate in some of the end of the year events. We do this to ensure a smooth end of the year for our students, staff and school as a whole and to maintain a focus on the importance of academics.

• Participation in the Luau - Students cannot have earned an Out of School Suspension at any point after February 11, 2022.
• Participation in the Cedar Point trip - Students cannot have earned an Out of School Suspension at any point after February 11, 2022. Students cannot have earned an "F" on their 3rd Quarter Report Card or be failing any course during the 4th quarter as of May 20, 2022. Students who meet either criteria will not be permitted to attend, regardless if a ticket had been previously purchased.

• 8th Grade Recognition is open to all students regardless of Academic achievement or discipline record.

Please Contact your child's counselor if you have any questions.
