Nurses Notes
Hi! I’m Heather, the Siegrist School Nurse. I just wanted to pass on a little information as we go charging into the school year.
We have a student with a latex allergy! What we are asking is that we make Siegrist as latex free as we can for the safety of the student. Steps have been taken to ensure this student has a safe learning environment. This also means no latex balloons inside the building. Mylar and vinyl are fine. Usually the package will indicate if the balloon contains latex in case you are not certain.
Also a reminder that our school (as with most schools) are Nut Free. We have lots of students with nut allergies, so try to remember not to send in nut-containing food items with school lunches.
With Covid, the landscape is definitely different. The Delta Variant is proving to be a challenge for everyone as it spreads quickly, and kids are more likely to get it. If your child is showing any signs of illness, no matter what it may be, please do not send them to school. Dosing with Tylenol before only masks symptoms, and those symptoms will re-emerge when the Tylenol wears off. If we send a student home with 2 or more symptoms, they will need to be evaluated by a healthcare provider before they can come back to school. If you have any questions, feel free to call or email me, and I will be happy to answer them.
I’m new this year, but I have already met a lot of you. Everyone has been super nice and very helpful. The students I have had the pleasure to meet have been funny and charming. I often leave work with a smile. I look forward to this new adventure, and look forward to meeting all the students.
A note from the Coaches:

Platte County Education Foundation Fundraiser - September 8 -September 20
This week, we kicked off our Platte County Education Foundation discount card sales program. Our schools, in conjunction with Major Saver, work with businesses throughout our District to offer a $15 discount card providing customers with 21 local buy-one-get-one-free offers. In most cases, redeeming only two offers offsets the cost of the card. Proceeds from the card campaign directly benefit your student's school and the Platte County Education Foundation. The Foundation gives back to the Platte County R-3 community by awarding annual pre-K through 12th grade classroom and building site grants, as well as senior scholarships. Check out this video to see some of the impact our Foundation has had. Your student should have brought home an envelope with information and instructions on Wednesday, September 8, and have been instructed to not go "door-to-door," but to offer to relatives, friends, co-workers, etc. Collection dates start on Monday, September 13, and the program wraps up on Monday, September 20. Please consider purchasing a card and supporting our schools!
international Dot Day-September 15, 2021
Please help us celebrate International DOT Day by wearing DOTS/POLKA DOTS on Wednesday, September 15th. This is to celebrate the book, The Dot, written by Peter Reynolds. The book is about a teacher that encourages a doubting student to trust in her abilities to "make her mark." International DOT Day is a celebration to encourage creativity, courage, and collaboration. Thank you!
