Flu Prevention- Out of consideration for other people, please keep
your child HOME if they are sick! If your child has flu-like symptoms, they should stay home for at least 24 hours after they no longer have a fever, or signs of a fever, without use of medicines. If they are sick, we will send them home.
- Encourage your child to wash hands and use hand sanitizer often!
- If your child needs to sneeze or cough, teach them to cough into their shirt or elbow and to use tissues if they need to sneeze.
SAFETY-Please help us by…
- Making sure your child does not arrive before 8:25 am on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays and before 9:35 on Wednesdays. There is no supervision for your children during this time.
- Not coming onto campus during the school day without checking into the office. If you have a lunch to drop off, drop it off in the office. This is out of concern for student’s safety.
- Practicing courteous and safe driving in the morning. Avoid unnecessary u-turns and stops. Watch out for pedestrians and bikers.
How You Can Help-- Check up with your child on what they’re doing in
class. Have discussions on topics that we might be studying.
- Model reading at home. Set aside a time that everybody can read together. Get quality books at home, either through the library, or through Scholastic.
- Encourage independence. 6th grade is a time of transition and change. They still need support, but they also need the gentle prodding to take responsibility of their own work. The least beneficial thing you could do for them is to do their work.
- Encourage your child to take risks. Learn lessons from failure. Our children will never learn to take risks if there is always a negative stigma attached to failure.
- Talk about current events. Keep track of the news, and encourage your child to read the news.
- Get on Parent Internet Viewer (PIV). Give yourself and your child access to their grades.
- Set aside a quiet place for your child to work.
- Please, no computers in child’s room. Know what your child is doing on the computer.
