Safety Alert…

Brockton Board of Health notified us that all evening activities should be held inside due to the threat of EEE. For the time being, we will be having our students wait inside the school before school each morning as an additional precaution. Students in grades PreK – 3 will be in grade 4. Students in grades 5 – 8 will wait in grade 7. This will continue until the first hard frost.

Calendar Fundraiser

Today, your child received a packet with a letter and calendar. Please share the sample calendar with family and friends. They will sell for $6.00 per calendar. Our calendar fundraiser project runs from October 4 – 23. Thank you for your help! Last year, we were able to raise over $2800.00 to help with our specials classes!

Opportunities to Help

Would you like to get more involved in your child’s school? Here are some opportunities to help!

New Sport Stacking Club!

Mrs. Nancy Durang, our PreK aide and one of our gym teachers, will be starting an afterschool club for grades 4 – 8. The “Sport Stacking Club” will give our students an opportunity to compete at sport stacking as well as develop sportsmanship and school spirit.

Students should sign up and send in their permission slips by Monday, October 2. They will be meeting on alternate Tuesday afternoons from 2:15 – 3:30 PM. Students who are not picked up at 3:30 will be signed into AfterCare.

The students in grades K – 3 are also learning sport stacking in gym class – so all of our students can develop skills and learn this new sport. Additional information may be found on the sport stacking website at: www.speedstacks.com

Benefits of Speed Stacking…

• Speed Stacks sport stacking programs promote hand-eye coordination and ambidexterity - valuable skills that translate to other areas of life.
• Sport Stacking Clubs reinforce the value of team work and the importance of never giving up.
• Sport stacking encourages perseverance and practice as ways to improve
• Sport stacking is JUST PLAIN FUN!!!

Health Issues…

We have recently become aware that head lice have appeared in our area again. Some of our younger students have had headlice recently, and there have been outbreaks in other schools in our area. Please check your child’s head regularly. The school should be informed if your child does have headlice. The child should not return to school until he or she is nit free.

Please keep your children at home if they exhibit the following symptoms:

• vomiting within twelve hours
• temperature over 99 degrees
• excessive runny nose and/or coughing
• diarrhea
• rash of unknown origin

This will help keep the rest of our students healthy! Thank you.
