Dear Runyan Families,

We are looking forward to our last week of the semester! Please read over the important December dates and optional holiday attire below.

Remember, Friday, December 19th is an early release day. Lunch times will be different this day to accommodate the schedule. Students will be dismissed at 11:55. Make sure to plan accordingly.

On Thursday, our amazing PTO will be hosting a "Sugar Factory" for our teachers and staff who do so much for our students all year! We need your help by donating some goodies like brownies, cookies, cakes, etc.

Please note that there will be no lunch visitors on Thursday, 12/18, and Friday, 12/19, as the Sunroom will be unavailable. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Remind your student to take a look at the jacket rack to find their belongings during lunch time this week! You are also welcome to come and pick up your child's jacket from the lobby area on Friday from 9:00-11:00 a.m. All jackets left after dismissal on Friday will be donated.

We are seeing an uptake in student tardies. It is important for students to be at school and on time each day. Our doors open at 7:10 a.m. There is little to no wait time from 7:10 to 7:40 a.m. Our instruction begins promptly at 7:55. When a child is late, they miss out on breakfast, early tutoring/intervention, morning announcements, their class Morning Meeting, and more. School attendance plays a vital role in the success and development of our students. When students are healthy, please have them at school and for the entire school day.

Regards,

Anel Salas, Principal

Runyan Elementary

Clinic Information

• Please pack an extra pair of clothes, including underwear and socks, in your child’s backpack DAILY. (accidents and spills happen often)... even 4th graders.

• It's important to call, email, or send a note to the nurse and teacher if your child is having any type of health problem on a particular day. This is extremely helpful for the nurse if your child presents to the clinic,

REGARDING MEDICATION:

In order for the nurse to give your child any medication (over the counter or prescription) a current, written doctors order is encouraged:

1. The medication must be approved for your child's age by the FDA (herbs cannot be given).

2. The medication must be in the original container

3. The medication must have the current prescription label on the bottle or inhaler

4. The medication must be BROUGHT to the nurse by the parent/guardian and permission form signed

5. Per CISD policy children are not allowed to transport medication (prescribed/otc)

REGARDING ILLNESS

A student will be sent home from school, with the following symptoms:

• Temperature of 100 degrees or more, please keep your child home, until fever free for 24 hours without fever-reducer medication. This ensures your child is well and will not spread illness at school. A student should not be sent to school if a fever reducing medication is required to get the temperature below 100 degrees

• Vomiting or diarrhea

• Too ill to function in the classroom

• Suspected contagious condition or disease

Vision and Hearing Screenings:

• Pre-K, Kinder, 1st and 3rd graders and those new to Texas, will have vision and hearing screening this fall. Referrals will be sent home with those who fail. If your child has already had a screening with their medical provider you may send a copy to the clinic and we will update their health record.

Please call or email with questions or concerns
