October is National Bullying Prevention Month
Bullying is unfair and one-sided treatment of a peer that happens when they are being continuously hurt, frightened, threatened or being left out on purpose. In an effort to prevent bullying, schools, as well as other agencies such as The Center for Prevention of Abuse, are uniting communities around the world to educate and raise awareness of bullying prevention.
In an effort to come together – in schools, communities, and online – and send one large ORANGE message of support, hope, and unity to show that we are together against bullying and united for kindness, acceptance and inclusion...we ask that all students wear ORANGE on Wednesday, October 21st for UNITY DAY. To learn more about unity day, please visit the following website, https://www.pacer.org/bullying/nbpm/unity-day.asp

Student Led Parent Teacher Conferences
Positive Office Referrals
Our #phillpanthers have been busy earning positive office referrals during the first quarter. They enjoy showing ways in which they are meeting the school wide expectations, the PAWS LAWS, being polite to others, accountable to all, willing to try, and safe to learn. When they earn a positive office referral they get recognized during morning announcements, sign the wall of fame in Mrs. Weaver's office, and get to make a positive phone call home.

Reminders
- If you haven't yet liked Pleasant Hill Elementary School on Facebook and Twitter, please be sure to do so. This is a great way for you to stay connected and see what is taking place in your child's classroom.
- Please remember the importance of the self-certification process for your children daily. We need parents/guardians to take their children's temperatures and do symptom checks each and every day to ensure they are able to come to school symptom free. Be sure to put your child's lanyard on them with their self-certification badge on, along with a sticker that has been initialed and dated by you.
- Yearbooks from the 2019-2020 school year have arrived from Lifetouch. If you ordered one and have not yet received it for your child, please reach out to Mrs. Dimmitt by email at sdimmitt@phill69.com or give her a call at 637-6829.
Notes from the Nurse
It's time to FALL into Healthy Sleep Habits! Please make sure your student is getting plenty of sleep! Sleep is the key to staying healthy and being able to learn.
COVID-19 Updates
If your student gets sick at school with any of the following symptoms, they will be sent home:
Fever of 100.4 or higher, new onset of moderate to severe headache, shortness of breath, new cough, sore throat, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain from unknown cause, new congestion/runny nose, new loss of sense of taste or smell, fatigue from unknown cause, muscle or body aches.
Per IDPH (IL Dept of Public Health), all siblings or members of the sick student's household MUST be sent home and evaluated also.
Your student may return to school when you have one of the following:
1. Doctors note stating a diagnosis other than COVID-19
2. A printed negative COVID-19 test (it may also be emailed to me) AND all symptoms are improving and your student is not under quarantine for being in contact with a positive person with COVID-19.
COVID-19 TESTING
IF your student needs COVID testing, it is highly recommend you use the Civic Center testing site. Here is information on getting your test results quickly.
Civic Center testing
(201 SW Jefferson Ave, Peoria, IL 61602) Those who are tested at this facility will receive test results by phone. You will need a physical copy of the test result to present to school. You can call 469-498-0222 to request a copy. Requesting that test results are emailed or faxed to the school should decrease the time for paperwork to arrive. email: nurse@phill69.com Pleasant Hill Fax #(309-637-8612)
Thank you for your help and understanding during this difficult time. As always, please feel to reach out to me with any questions! 309-637-6829 or nurse@phill69.com
