NO SCHOOL, April Vacation
Dear Moose Community,
We did it! We had a great first full week back at school! As I assisted students getting into cars at the end of the day this week, I found myself repeating "They seem tired, but happy" to all the families. We are all building our stamina for academic and social interaction for a full day after over a year of most of our time being at home. Students and teachers have been slowly easing into this adventure. I am so proud of all SES Moose for being kind, flexible, patient and enthusiastic about being back together.
It has become very apparent that students need to really lather on the sunscreen before coming to school. Also, students need to bring a comfortable hat that they can wear while outside. This is especially important from lunchtime until dismissal as most classrooms are outside when it is sunniest. Students should also bring a water bottle every day. We installed 2 touchless water bottle fillers in the school this year, so the students have easy access to clean, cold water.
Next week will be another great week of school together. The following week (April 19-23) is April Vacation. We ask that families continue to keep the health and safety of our entire school community in mind during April Vacation. Attending large gatherings, especially indoors, or extensive travel to states and communities with high COVID numbers could jeopardize the health and safety of our students and staff. We want to continue to be able to have a phenomenal last 8 weeks of school together in the healthiest and safest way possible.
Happy Weekend,
Jackie

A Few Reminders from the Health Office
Spring has arrived so I just wanted to send out a few reminders as classes are spending a lot of time outdoors.
Sunscreen: Please apply in the morning before school. You can send some in with your student for self-application. Staff are not allowed to apply sunscreen to children. Please also send your child with a hat that blocks the sun from their face. If your young child cannot reapply sunscreen and needs reapplication during the day, a permission note for me to reapply is needed. I cannot apply sunscreen without parent/guardian approval.
Ticks: Check your child every day after arriving home from school for ticks. Ticks like to hide close to socks on the ankles, under arms, groin area, and scalp. To remove a tick, use tweezers to grasp the head of the tick and pull straight up. After removing, wash the area and apply antibacterial ointment. Do not use vaseline to remove ticks.
Bug spray: Families can choose to spray children with bug spray prior to coming to school. Do not send any spray in with your student. It cannot be applied in school.
Poison ivy: Classes are spreading out more outside to give each other space. They are venturing into different wooded areas and having a great time exploring. We have seen a few cases of poison ivy, please make sure you show your child what poison ivy looks like. All staff members are aware and on the lookout.
ALSO, don’t forget to keep filling out the Symptom Checklist!!
