Lunches, PE and Close Contacts
The weather report says that it will likely rain next week. This year, Cathcart is having lunches outside as much as possible to minimize the odds of students being close contacts if another student gets sick. Our goal is to keep Cathcart open for in-school learning and keep everyone as healthy as possible.
So, in order to keep lunches outside, we are moving PE back into the gym. Students will wear face masks and Mr. Billheimer will have students socially distance as much as possible. We will set up the lunchroom outside under the Covered Play area.
PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOUR STUDENTS HAVE WARM JACKETS AND CLOTHES SO THEY CAN BE AS COMFORTABLE AS POSSIBLE.
Please be sure to label coats, lunchboxes, backpacks and water bottles with your child's name.
Vision Screening
Vision screenings are scheduled for Monday, September 27th. Trained volunteers from The Lions Club have graciously agreed to help complete the screenings. It will be done with a spot screening device and will take about 30 seconds to perform. If your child wears glasses or contacts they will be needed for the exam, so please don’t forget them. No news is good news. If follow-up by a licensed vision specialist is needed, your child will come home with a referral form in their backpack. Thank you for your support! ~Nurse Paige
Curriculum Night
This is an opportunity for parents to meet their student's teachers and discover what will be covered this year. Information will be limited to curriculum and classroom expectations. Parents will be able to discuss individual student issues during Parent/Teacher Conferences in late October.
