Lil Steamer Families --
LAYER UP - As the cooler temperatures arrive, please make sure that students have additional layers. Our mornings are quite cold and we are going to have Physical Education class outdoors as long as possible this semester. If your family is in need of such clothing, please send me an email and we can find ways to support you (all information remains confidential).
WELCOME BACK - On Tuesday, October 20, our Kindergarten and 3rd grade classes will be on-site for learning 4 days per week (Tuesday through Friday). Our 2nd & 5th grade classes will return to on-site learning on Wednesday, November 4.
FLU CLINIC - If you have not signed your child up for the Flu Clinic scheduled for Wednesday, October 21, make sure you do so online ASAP! Information regarding that process is further down in the newsletter.
FIRST QUARTER COMES TO AN END - I am happy to report that we have had ZERO COVID-positive cases among students grades PK through 5! In addition, we have only had ONE staff member test positive during the entire quarter! I am very grateful for all of the hard work and safety precautions our district, schools, staff, students, and families have done during this time. I am very hopeful that we do not have an uptick in cases like neighboring communities.
Have a wonderful weekend :)

It’s important that we encourage our children to express their feelings. Here are some ways that you can help your child learn about and express their feelings:
Tune into cues - Look at your child’s body language and listen to what they are saying.
Behind every behavior is a feeling - Try to understand the meaning and feeling behind your child’s behavior. You can help your child find other ways to express that feeling once you know what is driving the behavior.
Name the feeling - Naming feelings is the first step in helping kids learn to identify them. It allows your child to develop an emotional vocabulary so they can talk about their feelings.

Flu Clinic Available
UPDATE: REGISTRATION NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED BY OCTOBER 19, 2020
Dear Parents/Guardians,
The Genesis Flu-Free Quad Cities program will be available in the region for the 14th year this fall.
We recognize this year is fraught with uncertainty and concerns as we all continue to work through the COVID-19 pandemic. But, seasonal influenza will also return later this fall.
Health experts stress the importance of getting a flu shot this fall and warn about possible serious complications of having seasonal influenza and COVID-19 at the same time.
This year’s clinic may look different. We will be using all the safety measures to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. Your schools clinic maybe a drive up clinic at your child’s school, in the school, or another location. Please see information below.
Our goal is to keep your children and those they come into contact with, healthy this flu season!
The vaccine clinic for your child’s school will be: WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21 @ 8:30 AM
If you would like your child to receive a free seasonal flu vaccine at your schools scheduled time please COMPLETE THE ONLINE CONSENT FORM on the Genesis website at: http://www.genesishealth.com/flu-consent
The Vaccine Information Statement (VIS) may be reviewed prior to signing your child’s consent. It should answer any questions you may have about the flu vaccine. This program does not include a second clinic at your child's school for those children that may require a second vaccine. The information sheet that your child will bring home after their vaccine will help you determine whether your child will need a second dose of flu vaccine. Your local health department or primary care physician will be able to assist you as well.
If you have any questions regarding Genesis Flu-Free Quad Cities program, please contact Michele Cullen (563) 244-4923 or (563) 242-7165 #3. Thank you for helping to make your child's school and community a healthier place.
