Happy Friday Creekers!
Last week we welcomed our kindergarten and first grade students and families back to school at our second annual family picnic. All of the families had a great time exploring the playground and new GaGa Pit. The picnic was a great opportunity to meet new faces and catch up with friends. A big thank you to our Home and School Association for organizing the kindergarten and first grade welcome back picnic!
Be on the lookout for our family fun activities for each grade level this year. Everything will be posted in our weekly newsletters and monthly calendars!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Amy Adelman
Assistant Principal
Information from the School Nurse
I would like to welcome you back to another school year. Please take a few moments to review some important information listed below:
Physical and dental exams—
The State of Pennsylvania requires students in certain grades to have health exams.
- Students entering Grade 3--Dental Exam
- Students entering Grade 6-- Physical Exam
- Students entering Kindergarten and all students new to the district-- Dental and Physical Exam. The dental and physical forms can be found at http://www.cbsd.org/Page/904 .
The completed health forms are due no later than October 15, 2018. Please keep a copy of the health form for your records.
Students may not attend field trips unless these forms are completed.
Emergency contact information— Complete the emergency form on line on the parent portal. Please be sure all information is current. Inform the school office of any changes in phone numbers (home, work, cell) so we can contact you in the event that your child becomes ill or injured while at school.
Medication: All medication to be administered to students, whether prescription or over-the-counter, must be kept in the health office. Medication must be sent to school in the original labeled container and must be accompanied by a Medication Dispensing Form signed by the physician (or dentist) and the parent. This form can be downloaded from the CBSD website (www.cbsd.org).
Change in health status: Please notify the nurse if your child has a change in their health status during the school year (surgeries, fractures, and sprains, along with any family or emotional issues that arise). The more information we have concerning your child, the more we can adequately attend to their needs during the school day.
Food allergies—Please alert the school nurse and your child’s teacher if your child has any food allergies. Food is often part of classroom activities and it is important for the teachers to be aware of any concerns.
Contagious illnesses: If your child develops any contagious illness (strep throat, pink eye, lice, fifth disease, chicken pox etc), please notify the nurse’s office. A temperature of 100.4F or greater is considered to be a fever and your child will be sent home from school. Children should be fever free for 24 hours (without Tylenol or Ibuprofen) before they return to school. If your child is sent home sick from school with a fever, vomiting or diarrhea, they are not permitted to return to school the next day.
Please encourage your children to get plenty of rest and to eat a good breakfast before coming to school each day. Well rested and well fed children will be ready and eager to learn.
