Charlemagne PTO eNews: March 17th 2019

Dear Families:

Terrible news from New Zealand this week has me thinking about our practicing Muslim families and staff members.

As more details emerge, it is clear what happened in New Zealand is an act of hate that targeted immigrants and Muslims. Even if our students are protected from the details, certainly there is an impact even if it’s not immediately seen.

We know events like this impact people in different ways. If you know any students who may be specifically affected by this tragic event, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me, your student’s teacher or our school counselor for support. Our school is a safe, inclusive and supportive place and in our current world, this message cannot be sounded enough.

As a school, we are better and stronger because of the diversity and experiences of our students and staff. To our Muslim staff and families, ours is a message of care and concern and shared sorrow.

Thanks for taking care of each other in our community.

This year’s Soiree will raise money for assistants and interns in our classrooms.  As parents, you know assistants provide an integral service by assisting in classrooms, reducing our student to teacher ratio, providing supervision on the playground, and sharing French culture. They also help to reduce distractions, workload, and stress for teachers and students.

A Note from our School Nurse:

Dear Parents,

With stomach bugs and winter illnesses going around, here is a

reminder of school district rules to keep in mind before sending your kids to school. You can help prevent the spread of illness bugs or help your

child get better if he/she does get sick by following a few simple steps.

Keep your child home in the following instances:

If your child has vomited or has had diarrhea (watery or loose stools) with or without fever. Keep home for 24 hours past the last incident,

sometimes 48 hours is best just to make sure it’s clear. Call your child’s practitioner if you have concerns or if the illness is lasting more than 24 hours.

If your child is sick and has a fever >100. Your child should be naturally fever free for 24 hours—temperature below 100 degrees without Tylenol, Motrin, or fever-reducing medication.

If your student has a very bad cold or cough with or without a fever and they cannot contain their mucous. Brown/green drainage from nose.

If your student has symptoms or complaints that prevent them from participating in his/her usual school activities, such as persistent cough, or unusual behavior changes, such as irritability or lethargy

Stiff neck or headache with fever

Colored drainage from eyes

Any rash with or without fever. Skin lesions that are “weepy” (fluid or pus-filled)

General reminders:

The best prevention for the spread of infection is frequent hand washing with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds.

Keep immunizations up to date and get a flu shot as recommended by your MD.

Please inform the office of the nature of your student’s illness if they become ill.

Thanks so much and best of health to all!

For the 2018/2019 school year, Treetop Academics will offer after-school classes to1st-5th grade Charlemagne students in Science. We provide academically enriching project-based opportunities that put students at the center of learning. Our on-site after-school Charlemagne Science class is designed to inspire kids to explore & create, use their faculties to the best of their individual ability, and test their theories about their own learning through practice, exploration, and support. In all our programs, your child will be engaged in daily project-based curriculum and activities with a focus on learning and having fun while doing it!

Each term Treetop Academics will offer a different themed Science class for students, on-site at your school. Please see our website with updated information about this term’s Science subject, online registration, and cost. Our no-school day events (‘Hackathons’) are also open to Charlemagne students, as well as any ‘extended-year’ summer camps.

We are dedicated to providing meaningful, hands-on, project-based, and student-centered educational opportunities through best teaching practices and age-appropriate curriculum to your elementary school students.
