FRIENDLY REMINDER.......
A NOTE FROM OUR NURSES ABOUT STUDENT PHYSICAL EXAMS
Dear Parents/Guardians of Grade 3 Students,
Under Massachusetts General Law, Mansfield Public Schools requires documentation of physical exams in grades Pre K, K, 4, 7, 10 and each year for high school sports eligibility. All students entering Grade 4 in the fall (school, year 2022 - 2023) are required to provide the school with a copy of a recent physical exam.
We will accept any exam done after January 2022 (second half of 3rd grade and any exam taking place during the 4th grade year). Please send a copy to your school nurses’ office after the exam takes place.
If your child is due for a physical, please schedule this as soon as possible. If you need any information regarding the above requirements or would like information about health insurance, please call the Jordan/Jackson Health Office at (508) 261-7520.

RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS
Thursday, February 17 is the official Random Acts of Kindness day. In honor of this event, J/J has decided to recognize students for the entire month of February who are observed by a staff member or another student for a random act of kindness. Click on the following link to watch last year's Random Acts of Kindness video: Random Acts of Kindness Video
The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation has provided a coloring page for students to color. If your student wishes to color and have it displayed at J/J, please have your child bring it into class. Click the following link: Random Act of Kindness Coloring Page

Electronic Device Reminder
As we have seen an increase in Smart Phones and Smart Watches in our school, we want to remind families and students of the language in our Student Handbook regarding electronic devices during the school day.
CELL PHONE, ELECTRONIC DEVICES AND VALUABLE ITEMS – #IJNDB The use of electronic communication devices are prohibited in the Mansfield Public Schools during the school day. If a student is using electronic communication devices during the school day, the equipment may be confiscated, secured in the main office and returned to the student or their parent/guardian. Electronic communication devices must be turned off and stored in student backpacks during the school day. Parents/guardians are asked to keep anything of value at home. These items can become a distraction in the classroom and may be lost or damaged. The Mansfield Public Schools will not be held financially responsible if a device or valuable item is lost or stolen.
We realize students have devices to be able to communicate with families for various reasons, particularly around dismissal plans. Please know that students are able to come to the office during the day to use the office phone, if needed.
This does not apply to students who need electronic devices for medical reasons.
