In Reading Foundations, students in all grades are working hard every day to improve
their phonics, phonemic awareness, fluency, and comprehension! Last week, 6th and
7th grade students worked as detectives and paired up to use their reading
comprehension and logic skills to solve the “Mystery of the Reckless Reindeer”. Eighth
grade students have been learning about morphology so that they can attack bigger
words when they come across them in content area texts. They are reading a
non-fiction text about the history of gingerbread and then will make their own
gingerbread houses.
Donated gently used or new clothes, especially pants , would be greatly appreciated by the nurse.
If your child needs medication 2025-2026 school year, please remember the following:
** All medication must be in a labeled container from the store. All prescriptions must be in a labeled container from the pharmacy with the student’s name on and correct dose. (In the case of an inhaler, it must be in the box from the pharmacy or be accompanied by a doctor’s note.)
** All medication must have a note from the parent/ guardian
** Any changes in dosage need to be in writing. If it is a prescription medication, we must have a note from the doctor. (We can only give medication according to the store label or doctor’s orders.)
** All medication needs to be transported by an adult.
Additional Reminders:
All 6th grade students will require a Physical exam by their own health care provider by Winter Break
All 7th grade students will require a Dental exam by their own dental care provider by Winter Break.
Any 7th grade students without updated immunizations (Tdap and Meningitis) risk exclusion from school. Multiple notices have been sent to students who are out of compliance for 7th grade attendance . Students that come to school without the required paperwork or proof of an appointment will be sent home.
If your student needs medication in school, please have their doctor complete the medication form and have an adult bring the medication to the school nurse.
