Principal's Message
This month is a busy month with lots of fun ways we are celebrating student growth and behavior. It is hard to believe we have 19 and half days left to the end of school. We will be having our end of year celebration by going bowling. Each grade level has their own day so teachers will be able to let you know what day and time the kids are going. We have different activities every quarter as part of our PBS celebrations so far this year we have had a petting zoo, a fancy dance, a glow party and now bowling.
This month is also a lot of end of the year data collections. We love celebrating the kids growth and their hard work so don't forget to ask the kids how their end of year testing went and celebrate. We are so exited to make the last few weeks fun and academically interesting
Have a great May,
Stauch
School Nurse Message
As many students are visiting the health room for a variety of allergy symptoms, there is not much we can do to help them in the nurse's office. However, you can take proactive measures at home to help with your child's allergies.
- If your child suffers from seasonal allergies, please consider giving them a non-drowsy, once-a-day, allergy medication in the morning before sending them to school. This will help them to focus on their schoolwork and not be distracted by itchy eyes and runny noses.
- Shower or bathe and wash their hair in the evening before going to bed. This will remove the allergens from the air that's on their faces and hair. This will help them not sleeping on a pillow covered with allergens.
- Please consult with your child's doctor on the best treatment for their symptoms.
If you have any questions, please call the school nurse at 816-321-5083.
