TAXES….DID YOU SAY TAXES?
You might ask why we are talking about taxes in the School Bell. Well here is why. Parents have an opportunity to make a tax deductible contribution to the Williston Annual Fund and we didn’t want December 31st to come and go without this little reminder. If you have not yet made your tax deductible contribution to the Annual Fund to pay for your child’s or children’s field trips, please do that ASAP by clicking HERE for the online option or HERE for access to a form to print out and send in to the House T.A. Any amount is appreciated to cover the cost of field trips. And a big thank you from FAP!!
From the Williston Central School Library
November 19 wasn’t a typical day at Williston Central. Thanks to the Flying Pig Bookstore in Shelburne, students in grades 3, 4, 5, & 6 were treated to a presentation by Jeff Kinney, author of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. Jeff shared his writing process and gave us a look at what he was like growing up and then as a struggling cartoonist, as well as a taste of what his life is like now. After his talk, he answered many questions from students before he hopped back on the huge orange tour bus.
Students and adults were excited and energized. We were so fortunate to have this opportunity! Thank you, Flying Pig!

Vision and Hearing Screening have been completed at both ABS and WCS. If your child failed an exam you should have been contacted by a phone call and a referral letter. If you have not heard from the school nurse, your child passed their screening. If you have any questions please call the Health Office. Thank you!
Annual Well Care Visits for Adolescents in Vermont
The Bright Futures Recommendations periodicity schedule has changed to recommend that adolescents receive yearly well care visits (previously known as yearly check-ups or health supervision visits).
The reason for annual well care visits for all children and youth is to provide an opportunity for the provider to build rapport with the student. Adolescents often present with a complexity of issues (e.g. substance abuse, issues of safety and risk, sexuality, mental health and family situations) that require more time to address. Also identified is the need for privacy and confidentiality between the adolescent and the provider, so there needs to be time to educate the parent as well around this need. Parents and adolescents need anticipatory guidance, and parents appreciate a higher quality of care for their children. Adolescents appreciate this time alone with their provider as some conversations can be awkward in the presence of their parents.
Providers received a letter on September 9, 2014 reminding them of the annual well care recommendations. And insurance providers are covering the cost of this service.
Is your Adolescent getting ready for life?
