Martes, 5 de diciembre – Reunión de Padres 8:45 AM
Dear Parent or Guardia,
I would like to inform you that we are planning major changes on programming here at Irving Dual Language Elementary school as it pertains to the monolingual classrooms, the classrooms that are conducted only in English. I would encourage you to please come to the parent meeting we will be having on December 5th, 2018 at 8:45 AM. What we discuss during this meeting, it will impact 2nd-4th graders. We will also have more information about the Dual Language program here at Irving as well as information of the same program for North Middle and North High schools.
Estimados Padres y Guardianes,
Les quiero informar que estamos planeando cambios importantes aquí en la escuela Irving Dual Language, específicamente para los alones donde se enseña solo en inglés. Le alentamos para que venga a nuestra junta de padres el 5 de diciembre de 2018 a las 8:45 AM. Lo que hablemos durante esta junta, afectará directamente a los estudiantes del grado 2do a 5to y que están en los salones donde solo se enseña en inglés. También tendremos información acerca del programa de los dos idiomas para las escuelas de la North Middle y North High
Respectfully/Respetuosamente,
Maria Ruelas
Principal/Directora

Soap and water or alcohol-based sanitizers for hands?
Both alcohol-based hand sanitizers and hand-washing are effective ways of preventing disease, but remember these important facts:
- Hand sanitizers are not as effective when dirt is visible on hands. Hand washing with soap and water, singing the “Happy Birthday” song, should be used to remove the oil and grime where bacteria can live.
- Hand sanitizers should not be used in place of soap and water:
- when preparing food
- after restroom use
- changing diapers
- Hand sanitizers will not work in killing certain viruses or bacteria such as:
1. Cryptosporidium - causes diarrhea.
2. Norovirus – causes stomach pain, nausea, and diarrhea and to throw up.
3. Clostridium difficile – causes watery diarrhea.
Clean hands are one of the best ways to prevent infection or disease. For more information, visit www.cdc.gov/handwashing
¿Jabón y agua o desinfectantes a base de alcohol para las manos?
Tanto los desinfectantes de manos a base de alcohol como el lavado de manos son formas efectivas de prevenir enfermedades, pero recuerde estos hechos importantes:
- Los desinfectantes para manos no son tan efectivos cuando la suciedad es visible en las manos. Lavarse las manos con agua y jabón, cantando la canción "Feliz cumpleaños," debe usarse para eliminar el aceite y la suciedad donde pueden vivir las bacterias.
- No se deben usar desinfectantes para manos en lugar de agua y jabón cuando:
- al preparar la comida
- después de usar el baño
- después de cambiar pañales
Los desinfectantes para manos no funcionan para matar ciertos virus o bacterias, como:
1. Cryptosporidium – causa diarrea.
2. Norovirus – Causa dolor de estómago, náuseas, diarrea y vómitos.
3. Clostridium difficile - causa diarrea acuosa.
Las manos limpias son una de las mejores maneras de prevenir infecciones o enfermedades. Para más información visite: www.cdc.gov/handwashingParents
The office is running low on small sized clothing. If you have a small/young student, please consider putting an extra change of clothing in their backpack so that they will have a clean and dry pair of clothes in case of an accident or spill.
Thank you.

Winter Weather Information
With cold weather upon us, it’s important to plan for inclement weather. Please ensure your child is dressed appropriately for the colder weather. Suggested apparel includes a warm coat, hat, scarf and gloves. If a student needs access to these cold weather apparel items, please contact the school office.
Even during the winter season, the District allows recess and outdoor activities to continue as usual. However, if a student does not have appropriate winter clothing, a school official may ask a student to remain inside.
When the atmosphere reaches a temperature that feels like 15 degrees or less, then all students are kept inside for recess/activities. The “feel” of the temperature is determined based on the National Weather Service’s report.
Thank you for helping us keep students safe and warm this season.
School Closure Information
The winter in Iowa provides us with some days that make it a challenge to hold classes at the regular time, and sometimes we must close our schools early, late, or for the entire day. As you know, our weather is not only challenging at times, it is constantly changing.
Please remember that parents and guardians have the right to make the decision to keep their child home on any day that they feel it is unsafe for their student to be in school because of weather conditions. If you believe the weather provides a sincere reason why you may have to keep your students at home, or take your student home when classes are scheduled to continue, you as a parent or guardian will simply need to contact your child’s school to let them know.
If a decision is made on the day of school to cancel classes or to have a late start, a call goes out at 6:00 AM to all parents and guardians. Parents can also check the following sites for closure information.
1. GovDelivery https://public.govdelivery.com/accounts/IAEDU6039/subscriber/new?qsp=CODE_RED
2. District’s Facebook https://www.facebook.com/SiouxCityCommSchools
3. District’s Twitter @siouxcityschool
4. All media outlets
If the schools are dismissed early or if school is called off entirely, there will be no evening activities. If you have before and after school care, please check with your provider about their procedures.
Thank you.

Información del Clima de Invierno
Con el clima frío sobre nosotros, es importante planificar para las inclemencias del tiempo. Por favor, asegúrese de que su hijo esté vestido adecuadamente para el clima más frío. La ropa sugerida incluye un abrigo, gorro, bufanda y guantes. Si un estudiante necesita acceso a estos artículos de ropa para clima frío, comuníquese con la oficina de la escuela.
Incluso durante la temporada de invierno, el Distrito permite que el recreo y las actividades al aire libre continúen como siempre. Sin embargo, si un estudiante no tiene ropa de invierno adecuada, un oficial de la escuela puede pedirle a un estudiante que permanezca adentro.
Cuando la atmósfera alcanza una temperatura de 15 grados o menos, todos los estudiantes se quedan adentro para el recreo / actividades. La "sensación" de la temperatura se determina según el informe del Servicio Nacional de Meteorología.
Gracias por ayudarnos a mantener a los estudiantes seguros y cálidos esta temporada.
Información del cierre de la escuela
El invierno en Iowa nos brinda algunos días que hacen que sea un desafío realizar clases a la hora habitual, y en ocasiones debemos cerrar nuestras escuelas temprano, tarde o durante todo el día. Como saben, nuestro clima no solo es desafiante a veces, sino que está cambiando constantemente.
Recuerde que los padres y guardianes tienen el derecho de tomar la decisión de mantener a sus hijos en casa cualquier día que sientan que no es seguro que sus hijos estén en la escuela debido a las condiciones del clima. Si cree que el clima proporciona una razón sincera por la cual puede tener a sus hijos en casa, o de llevarlos a casa cuando se ha decidido seguir con las clases, usted como padre o guardián simplemente deberá comunicarse con la escuela de su hijo para informarles.
Si se toma una decisión de cancelar las clases o entrar tarde, se realizará una llamada a las 6:00 AM a todos los padres y guardianes. Los padres también pueden consultar los siguientes sitios para obtener información sobre cancelaciones de clases.
1. GovDelivery https://public.govdelivery.com/accounts/IAEDU6039/subscriber/new?qsp=CODE_RED
2. Facebook del Distrito https://www.facebook.com/SiouxCityCommSchools
3. Twitter del Distrito @siouxcityschool
4. Todos los medios de comunicación.
Si las escuelas tienen salida temprano o si las clases se cancelan por completo, no habrá actividades por la noche. Si tiene cuidado antes y después de la escuela, consulte con su proveedor acerca de sus procedimientos.
Gracias
