From Your School Nurses
- Students with a fever should be fever-free for 24 hours before returning to school
- Parents of sixth grade students: If your child has not had updated immunizations and a physical exam make an appointment now and bring in the forms to the school nurse. We will exclude seventh graders who are not in compliance with state regulation.
- Safe footwear: Please keep in mind that shower shoes, sandals, open-toe, backless or shoes with heels are considered unsafe and should not be worn to school
- Springtime Attire: Keep in mind students must have sleeves on their shirts with no stomachs showing.

ABC's of Student Success
D is for Determination
Children need to hear their parents say that making an effort, working hard, and planning ahead are important. Encourage them to set reasonable expectations and celebrate when they make progress. They need to learn that sometimes they must sacrifice to achieve a goal. Struggling from time to time is part of a student's "job". In the end, the feeling of accomplishment they get will lead to bigger and better accomplishments in the future.

If Your Body is Average . . .
the length of your stretched out arms at shoulder height will be about the same as your height. Measure your wrist to your elbow and your elbow to your shoulder. How close are those two measurements? Is the measurement from your wrist to your elbow about the same length as your foot?
