Principal Notes
Families!
Kinder just celebrated the 100th day of School and First Grade is about to celebrate the 120th (because their math standards go to 120)! Time flies when you are having fun!
As we move forward in 2025 I challenge our East Side Eagles to become more INDEPENDENT!
As a team, we would like to partner with you to help all kiddos develop some important skills. YES, we understand that they are 5-7 year old children, but when you hold high expectations, students will achieve them.
1)Orange Folders and Book bags are a great form of communication. Remind them that they have the responsibility to be in charge of these materials everyday! (Try to refrain from doing it for them- children need reminders, but they need to be the ones emptying their backpacks and repacking each day)
2)Drop Off and Pick Up- We LOVE hugs, greetings, and departures! BUT continue to make these gestures OUTSIDE of our building and encourage them to enter independently without you escorting them.
3)Please encourage your child to practice zipping coats and tying their shoes independently. Yes, this takes practice, but encourage them to try daily.
SWIMMING!!!
We LOVE that our district continues to offer swim lessons! For the month of February these classes will participate. Students need is a swimsuit and towel.
2/5-2/19 Mrs. Moore's class
2/24-3/6 Mr. Warner's Class
2/24-2/6 Mrs. Ryan's Class
*Please Note Mrs. Hostetter's class will split among kinder groups. So a handful of students will join other classes. Mrs. Hostetter will Bloomz families so students are ready for that session.
NURSE Alert
We are in the cold and flu season. Here are some reminders on when to keep your child home.
As a rule of thumb, your child should stay home if they have:
● Fever over 100.4 degrees fahrenheit and should remain at home until they are fever free for 24 hours without the use of a fever reducing medication ; such as Ibuprofen or Tylenol.
● Vomiting or Diarrhea wait 24 hours after it stops unless it has been deemed noncommunicable.
● Frequent cough
● Persistent pain ( ear, stomach, head, etc.)
● Widespread rash accompanied with other symptoms.
● Severe sore throat lasting more than 48 hours and accompanied with a fever.
● Pink eye
Please remember the number one way of preventing illness is washing your hands with
soap and water for over 20 seconds.
