News from last month:

We are so proud of our 2nd graders!  They presented a wonderful Thanksgiving program for their parents and the other students!  Well done, 2nd graders!

Our students presented a special program for our local veterans for Veterans Day.  We appreciate the veterans have done to serve our country! 

 

 

Literacy Corner:

Help!! What if my child doesn’t love reading? What if my child only wants me to read to him or her? 
This is actually more common than you think! 
 
Here are some ideas to help:

*Read aloud to your kids. You will not regret this time spent with your kids and you won’t make your child less of a reader by reading to them. 
Reading aloud to your child actually helps them because they are hearing things that are grammatically correct, listening to sophisticated language, and hearing how a good reader sounds.

*Use audiobooks. Let your child listen to an audiobook while they draw, craft, do puzzles, play with legos, etc. 

*Use graphic novels. Your child has to use multiple parts of the brain when reading graphic novels because they have to read and interpret both the text and the pictures. 
 
Remember that your child won’t fall in love with reading overnight. Stay consistent and it will happen over time.

Reminders about safety with medications at school:
 
If a student requires medication during the school day, please be sure to contact the School Nurse to come up with an administration plan and complete appropriate forms.

Students who “self-carry” their medication, must have an approved medical plan AND are only allowed to carry enough medication for ONE DAY at a time. The medication must be in a labeled container with the student’s name and the medication name.
 
Prescription medication must be in the original prescription bottle labeled with the student’s name, medication name, dose/strength, instructions for administration and expiration date. (You can request an extra container with a label from the pharmacy for school doses.)
 
Over the counter medication must be in the original,sealed, container and be clearly labeled with the student’s name (be sure it’s not expiring).
 
Prescription medications need to be brought to school by a parent and then counted with staff upon receipt. They CANNOT be sent to school in a student’s backpack. They could be harmful if taken by the wrong student and some medications are Controlled Substances. It’s important they’re labeled, so lost medications can be returned to the appropriate school/student.
 
If you have further questions, or need medication forms, please visit our webpage https://lcsd2.org/student-health/  or call your School Nurse (885-7110).
 
Thank you for helping us keep your students safe while at school.
