From the Desk of Mrs. Newell
KELES Families,
We had a great Character Parade today with our Little Gators! It was so nice to see everyone laughing and having fun. Somehow we are already in November and we have cold weather to enjoy! Be sure to write your child's name inside their jackets so they can be returned if lost. You can remind your child to check the lost and found inside the cafeteria when they go to lunch.
This next week is the final week of the online book fair. All proceeds go to the library and our makerspace. Please help us out by purchasing books for your kiddos. The number one indicator of student achieve begins at home with reading to your child!
We will be celebrating Homecoming week at KELES. Please consider showing Gator spirit by participating in the following dress up days:
Monday, Nov. 2- 'Merica Monday- wear red, white, and blue
Tuesday, Nov. 3- Twinning Tuesday- dress like someone else
Wednesday, Nov. 4- Hawaiian Wednesday- wear tropical attire
Thursday, Nov. 5- Throwback Thursday- dress from your favorite decade
Friday, Nov. 6- Gator Day! Wear blue and white. Homecoming mums are allowed if the bells are taped.
Finally, we are fundraising for M. I. Lewis Food Pantry, a local organization that directly supports the students and families of DISD through food and resources. From now until November 13, your student can bring money to donate and the class that raises the most money will get to see their teacher smash a pie in my face on November 20th!
As always, if you have questions, please email me or your child's teacher. We are happy to help!
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.

Meals
All DISD students will have access to FREE breakfast AND lunch each day until the end of the school year! Please encourage your students to take advantage of this opportunity provided by the USDA.
● Kinder students will be the only students eating breakfast in the cafeteria. PK students will go directly to their class and eat as a class after announcements.
● 1st through 4th grade students will get breakfast from the grab-n-go station located outside the library and take their breakfast to class.
