If your student has medication in the school clinic, all medication must be picked up by an adult from the school clinic by 12:00pm on Friday, June 12th. Medications cannot be sent home with students and are not held in the clinic over the summer. Any medications that are not picked up by the designated time, will be discarded per regulation 757-4.

New Medication Administration Forms and/or Health Treatment Plans are required each school year. Forms may be obtained in the front office or downloaded from Student Health Services

A reminder to parents of rising Kindergarten students: all Kindergarteners are required to have a school physical dated on or after August 24, 2025, as well as all required immunizations, to avoid any delay at the start of the school year.

Our 4th Grade Gifted & Talented students did a remarkable job with their Famous Virginian Museum Presentations. Their hard work, creativity, and dedication were truly impressive, and it was wonderful to see their learning come to life in such a meaningful way.

We are so proud of each and every one of them for their outstanding efforts and achievements.

A special thank you and shout out to Mrs. Barrett for her exceptional leadership and talent as an educator. Her guidance and commitment played a vital role in making this experience so successful for our students.

The Bookfair is here for one last visit, May 29 thru June 5th!

The Scholastic Book fair is here for an end of the year buy-one get-one-free sale! For every item that a student picks out they will get a second item (of equal or lesser value) for free!

Come shop for summer reading needs! This special book fair will only be open during the school day. If you would like to look around, please come visit us during the school day June 1 – 5! Just stop in the office to sign in.

All library books must be returned to the library before June 12th

Parents, please help your child search around your house for any library books. Be creative in your searches: Books can hide in so many places! Look under the bed, inside the sofa, behind the TV, over the Fridge, and in the cat’s bed! If your child is still missing a library book, make it a fun hide and seek game for them…Don’t forget to add the backpack, classroom cubby, and classroom library to your child’s list if they can’t find it at home – these books can get tricky! Thank you so much for supporting the staff in the library this year!

As we head toward the end of the school year, please review the important information below regarding student iPads:

iPads & Stickers
Please remove all stickers from student iPads, except for:

• Stickers with the student’s name
• The yellow barcoded asset tag

Lost iPads
If a student has misplaced their iPad, they have until the last day of school to locate it. After that date, families will receive a bill for the replacement cost of the device.

Summer Programs at Neabsco
Students participating in summer programs at Neabsco will turn in their devices as usual at the end of the school year. iPads will be reissued to students during their summer program.
Any exceptions (such as students attending programs at another school) will be communicated as needed.

Devices Over the Summer
If a student needs an iPad to use over the summer, families may request that the device go home.

Please note:

• Families are responsible for providing their own charger (no school chargers will be sent home)

• The iPad must be returned at the start of the next school year for inspection and reconditioning

Thank you for your support in helping us care for our school devices!

Summer Fun & Growing Skills!

As another wonderful school year comes to a close, I would like to thank our students, families, and staff for a fantastic year of learning and growth! Summer is a great time to relax, have fun, and continue building important skills through everyday activities.

This month's newsletter will give ideas for summer activities that naturally support the skills children use at school, including fine motor skills, hand strength, coordination, sensory regulation, self-care, attention, and independence. Best of all, these activities can be incorporated into everyday routines and family fun throughout the summer.

Wishing everyone a safe, enjoyable, and skill-building summer break!
