Science Testing
Please make every effort to have your genius here and on time. This will be a great time for them to show off what they know!
Tiger Cubs
Attention parents of newborn to preschool age children:
We are starting up a new club at TME and we want you and your young child to join! All club members will receive a “Tiger Cub” backpack filled with goodies and early education materials. We also want to encourage your school age child to read to your younger children. See the flyer that came home on Friday or contact Mrs. Munich in the FRC with questions at 356-4639.

Health Tips from our Nurse
Stopping the Spread of Lice
While the thought of head lice can be scary, they're usually less all-out threatening than we make them out to be. A few simple things will help you prevent lice.
Know the symptoms. As you might know, lice are little and can be white, brown, or dark gray. They're most common around the ears and the back of the neck, and feed off of human blood. They are much more noticeable on darker-colored hair.
· The most common symptom of head lice is itchiness in and around the back of the neck.
· In many children, lice don't produce any symptoms until weeks or months after they've moved in. For this reason, it's important to do regular visual check-ups with a fine-toothed comb.
· Doctors recommend combing for lice after the child has taken a bath/shower, while their hair is still wet.
· Lice don’t fly; they crawl, so make it difficult for the little guys to crawl onto your child’s heads! Tie long hair up as often as possible – buns are great, but even braids and ponytails will help minimize the surface area that long, flowy hair will touch in a given day.
Teach your kids the importance of not sharing certain items, such as the following:
· Hats
· Headbands
· Hair accessories
· Pillows
· Combs
· Any other objects that promote direct head-to-head contact between a carrier and potential carrier.
The Importance of Good Attendance
This continues to be a friendly reminder. All families only want what is best for their children. When planning trips, please remember even one missed day at school impacts your child’s academic progress. Please continue be aware of the school calendar when planning vacations around holidays and only keep your child home from school when it is absolutely necessary. Making up missed assignments after an absence cannot replace the high quality classroom instruction your child receives everyday as a student in the Kenton County School District. Every day counts when it comes to your child. Please continue to support your child’s education by only allowing your child to miss school if it is absolutely necessary.
