From the Desk of Mr. Tiemann
Starting next week, students will be learning about our Positivity Project Character Strength of Perseverance. The concept of perseverance can most often be found in one’s active pursuit in overcoming obstacles. Perseverance is a uniquely human characteristic that identifies an individual’s ability to spend long periods of time devoted to a single goal or set of goals. Those who persevere are able to set goals for themselves and then take active, calculated steps toward those goals. People demonstrating high levels of perseverance are able to handle significant, sometimes repeated, setbacks in pursuit of goals.
Jan. 14-18 = Hope - You expect the best from the future and work to achieve it.
Dec. 21-25 = Prudence - You plan for the future and achieve your goals by making careful everyday choices.

Attendance Awareness
Some absences are unavoidable. We understand that children will get sick and need to stay home occasionally. The important thing is to get your children to school as often as possible.
FACT: Chronic absence in kindergarten is associated with lower academic performance in 1st grade, especially in reading. By 6th grade, chronic absence is a clear predictor of dropout. Learn more about reducing chronic absence and find out how you can help at http://awareness.attendanceworks.org/

Please Help Prevent the Spread of Sickness, Head Lice, etc...
Parents: We have had a few reported cases of Colds, Flu, Strep Throat, and Bronchitis over the past week. 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):
