From the Desk of Mrs. Newell
KELES Families,
What an amazing week we have had for Homecoming! Hoco dress up days were a blast, but I'm ready to wear "normal" clothes for awhile!
This Friday we have picture day scheduled. Dress your best as this is the picture that will be used in the yearbook. Remote students will be able to come up to campus for a picture from 2:00- 3:00pm on Friday. Parents will wait in the lobby or outside for their student and one of the office staff will walk them to the camera and back. Students and parents must wear a mask and fill out the health survey before entering the building for pictures. The student may take the mask off for the picture and put it back on to exit the building.
The DISD Bond election was passed and this is great news! It does NOT increase the tax rate in DISD and you will see a safer school for your children. Our building will be getting an upgrade to our foyer and front office so there will be a security vestibule and a transaction window with ballistic film on the vestibule windows.
We will be completing curriculum based assessments (CBA) for third and fourth grade students on the 16th, 17th, and 18th in reading, math, and science. If your child is a remote student in 3rd or 4th grade, you may contact your teacher to come to the building to complete the tests, or your student may take the test online during a Zoom meeting with their remote teacher.
On November 12th, we will be conducting a lock down drill. This is where we lock all the doors and teach students about this type of emergency. Please discuss with your child that it is only a drill and that they need to listen carefully to the teachers directions during the drill. May we never need this, but it is always better to be prepared for any emergency.
As Thanksgiving approaches, we are so thankful for your children and for you! This school would not be what it is without you! Have a wonderful, restful weekend!
Sincerely,
Brooke Newell

Nurse's Notes
HANDWASHING IS THE MOST IMPORTANT WAY TO REDUCE THE SPREAD OF GERMS
HOW Should I Wash My Hands?
• Wet hands with water first
• Then add soap
• Rub hands together and use friction on all surfaces for at least 20 seconds: fingers all the way to the tips, thumbs, palms, and wrists; under rings; focus under nails
• Rinse well under running water, letting water drain from wrist to fingers
• Dry hands thoroughly with a folded paper towel, or let them air-dry
• Use paper towel to turn off faucets and open the door
WHEN Should I Wash My Hands?
• Before, during, and after preparing food
• Before eating food
• Before and after caring for someone at home who is sick with vomiting or diarrhea
• Before and after treating a cut or wound
• After using the toilet
• After changing diapers or cleaning up a child who has used the toilet
• After blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing
• After touching an animal, animal feed, or animal waste
• After handling pet food or pet treats
• After touching garbage, or any time they are visibly dirty
*** If you can’t get to soap and water right away, use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol, and rub the gel over all of the surfaces of your hands and fingers until they are dry – this should take about 20 seconds. Remember though that some germs, like norovirus and C. diff, are not killed by hands sanitizers, and require a thorough wash with soap and water.***
Other Germ-fighting Tips
• Don’t put unwashed hands near your face. Touching your eyes, nose, or mouth without first washing your hands could cause you to get sick.
• If you have to sneeze, cough, or blow your nose, completely cover your mouth and nose with tissue, or with the fabric on the sleeve of your inner arm. If you used your hand or a tissue to cover, go wash your hands immediately with soap and water before touching anything.
• To protect those around you, stay home or visit your healthcare provider if you have symptoms of illness such as a fever, vomiting, diarrhea, prolonged cough, or rash.
• Please, this is very important, wash all cloth facemasks every day. You can use soap and water at the kitchen sink to wash toughly and then hang to dry overnight. It will be ready for the next day in the morning.
