January 2009

Dear Parents:

It’s hard to believe it’s almost 2009…please relax and enjoy the winter break with your child(ren). Stay healthy. See you on January 5th when school resumes.

Warmly,
Debra Milford, Principal

OUTSIDE RECESS

All children will be permitted to play outdoors if the temperature and wind chill are 10 degrees or above.



SNOW DAYS
During severe weather conditions, it is sometimes necessary to close the school with short notice. The decision to close our schools is never made more than three (3) hours in advance of the school starting time for pupils. Please check TV/Radio Stations or the following websites:

CLINIC NEWS
The Clinic is in need of long pants to give students that need warmer or dry clothes. If anyone has any sweatpants (boys or girls), gloves, socks or even gently used underwear that can be donated, Mrs. Sieben will be grateful. When your child comes home with clothes supplied by the clinic, please launder and then return the items back to the clinic as soon as possible. Mrs. Sieben has been seeing lots of “tired” and “sleepy” children. Please make sure that your child(ren) get enough sleep to reduce illness and to help them to do their best in the classroom.


EXCUSED ABSENCES
Here are a few symptoms that may help you to decide when a child is too sick to send to school. If your child has:
• a fever of more than 100 degrees
• a sore throat which is accompanied by fever or white spots on the back of the throat
• a heavy cold or hacking cough
• a rash
• a stomachache accompanied by diarrhea or vomiting, or all of the above.
If your child(ren) will not be at school, you can call the office before 8:00AM at 689-5470 to leave a message or after 8:00AM to speak with someone in the school office.

Information needed that night will be social security #, birth certificate, immunization record, proof of residency (lease, purchase agreement, utility bills), and any legal papers pertaining to your child. If you are enrolling your child for All Day Kindergarten, a $100.00 deposit will be needed. Make the checks payable to Stow Munroe Falls City Schools. A contract will also be signed at this time for All Day Kindergarten. This is a time for adults only to fill out paperwork and have any questions answered. Your child will be invited back in the spring to visit the school while information about the Kindergarten program at Woodland is discussed with parents.



LOST AND FOUND
When you visit the building, please check out our lost and found for items that your child(ren) might have lost. Please put your child(ren)’s name or initials on everything. Lost and found is located across from the gym. You will see several lost items hanging on the hooks in the main hall. All these items would like to be home for the holidays.
