Earning money for your school is easy!

This year we're making $800,000 available to participating schools to invest in classrooms, equipment and essential supplies. For every dollar spent at Food City* using your ValuCard, one point will be earned for your school. The more points earned, the larger share of the cash your school will receive. All you have to do is link your ValuCard to your school of choice and you'll automatically earn points every time you shop! Linking online is easy - log into your Food City account, and select your school.

As we begin this new school year, it’s vital that we keep in mind safety tips to keep you and your family safe. Here are a few reminders:

PLEASE REMEMBER:

You must have your ID to enter the building.

How to support school safety at home:

1- Encourage open communication with your child about experiences at school.

2-Reiterate the importance of following rules and being respectful to staff.

3-Monitor your child’s devices.

4- Reiterate the importance of never sharing personal information with others.

Thank you for your continuous support! As always we ask everyone to stay vigilant and communicate, SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING

Stay Safe,

The Catoosa Family Collaborative fosters collaboration between state and local agencies, nonprofits, and other community partners to create a thriving, healthy community for children and their families.

Founded in 1997, the Catoosa Family Collaborative is part of a statewide initiative committed to making measurable improvements for children and strengthening families across all 159 counties in Georgia for more than 25 years. Since then, the Collaborative has worked with our network of over 100 community partners throughout the Greater Chattanooga area to ensure that children in Catoosa County will have the tools they need to prepare for school, build strong relationships, and lead healthy lives.

Hello Warriors:

We have lots going on already at LMS and in the clinic!

Being back to school means we see an increase in illnesses. Please remember...

• if fever >100.4, student will need to stay home. He/she can return to school >24 hrs without taking fever-reducing meds.
• if vomiting, student will need to stay home until vomit-free > 24 hrs from the last episode.

There are several things you can do at home to treat your child's symptoms.

• sore throat- cough drops, hard candies, peppermints, crackers, warm/cold liquids
• runny or stuffy nose- you can try an over-the-counter antihistamine such as Xyzal, Benadryl, Claritin, Zyrtec, or Allegra. Decongestants (Sudafed) can also be tried. Another useful remedy is nasal saline.
• Hydration is super important, especially with an illness.

Follow basic hygiene recommendations for the prevention of illnesses:

• wash hands frequently
• sneeze/cough into your elbow
• avoid touching your face with unwashed hands
• don't share personal items
• stay up-to-date on vaccines
• stay home (when sick)

The best medicine is PREVENTION!
