Community Helpers - Student Resource Officer
This week our own Canton SRO, Officer Ensley Cotard, visited the preschool as part of our community helper theme. Officer Cotard engaged with our young learners by discussing the role and responsibilities of police officers, as well as emphasizing the importance of safety and helping others. Students were delighted to meet a real-life hero and learn more about the important work done by law enforcement in our community. It was a valuable and memorable experience for everyone involved!

Snapshots of the Week 😄
CORI and Fingerprinting
Reminder:
A CORI check IS required for all volunteers.
Fingerprinting IS required if you are interested in volunteering with direct and unmonitored interactions with students. This included chaperoning field trips.
Fingerprinting is NOT required if you are volunteering under supervision of a school staff member. This included room parents, guest speakers and volunteers at field day events.
*They can take awhile to process so please fill them out early so they have enough time to be returned prior to a field trip or volunteer opportunity
Please provide a copy of your fingerprinting receipt to Susan Crespi crespis@cantonma.org to let us know you completed fingerprinting.
Nurse's Note
Hello Rodman families!
Winter check in! ❄️ I (Nurse Bailey) am here to support you and your child in any way I can so that they are healthy and ready to learn and play in preschool.
It is so important that you communicate any updates to your child’s health to me. I can be reached by phone: 781-821-5060 ext 1508 or by email: hewitb@cantonma.org and will respond as quickly as possible.
Most of our classrooms are “Allergen Aware” which means that at least one student or staff member has a severe food allergy. Each class will receive an individualized letter noting the allergen(s) and we ask you not to send in foods that contain the allergen.
WHEN SHOULD YOUR CHILD STAY HOME FROM SCHOOL?
Keep your child home if he/she/they:

Has Covid-19 or Covid-19 symptoms
Has the flu or flu symptoms
Has an elevated temperature, 100° (degrees) or above within the past 24 hours. Please remember that prior to returning to school, your student’s temperature should remain within a normal range (97.0-99.9) for 24 hours - without the use of fever-reducing medication.
