Spring is just around the corner! While we’re all looking forward to warmer days and outdoor recess, March often brings a mix of "lion-like" weather and the peak of allergy season.
Spring Allergies vs. Colds
It can be tricky to tell the difference between seasonal allergies and a common cold.
Symptoms Cold/Virus vs. Allergies
Fever Common/Never
Itchy Eyes Rare/ Very Common
Mucus Often thick/yellow/ Usually clear/watery
Duration 7–10 days/ Lasts as long as the allergen is present
Dear A. Montoya Families,
During the month of March, I will be visiting 5th grade classrooms. Students will be learning about peer pressure, including how to identify their personal values, set healthy boundaries, and practice ways to say no in challenging situations.
We will also have a lesson on vaping. Students will learn about the harmful ingredients found in e-cigarettes and discuss smart, confident ways to say no.
Please be sure to check your child’s backpack for handouts and take time to talk about these topics together at home. These conversations help reinforce the important skills students are learning at school.
Thank you for your continued support!
