Attention ALL 5th graders!

Informative 5th Grade News From Your School Nurse

New Immunization Requirement

The Department of Health has recently revised the list of vaccinations that are required to attend school in Washington State.  Varicella, more commonly known as chicken pox, was added to the list of required immunizations. To enter 6th grade in the fall of 2006, it will be a requirement to provide either the date of Varicella immunization or the approximate date of disease.  Please contact the school office and inform them of your childŐs Varicella status. 

 

Sport Physicals

Is your child planning on participating in Middle School sports?

Sports physicals are required for all students participating in any school sponsored sport.  Please keep in mind that some sports begin the first day of school so it is a good idea to make the doctor appointment in July or August to avoid the last minute rush.  Some providers offer sports physical clinics at a reduced cost.  Watch your local newspaper for dates these clinics may be provided.

National Geographic Trip

One of our very own 4th grade students Max Schneider has been selected to be part of an expedition team that will travel too the Galapagos Islands in May.  Max Schneider is one of 15 kids between ages 9 and 14 chosen as part of the National Geographic Kids Expedition Team.  Max wrote a short essay about his small dog-walking business, and his expeditions walking the dogs on the hills and trails around Wenatchee.  The six boys and nine girls will learn about photography, ecology and writing while on the 10-day trip.  Max and 13 year-old Gregory DŐElia of Kodiak, Alaska, were the only two from the Western United States selected for the trip.  Congratulations Max and happy TRAILS!

 

 

 

Did you Wash?

Washing your hands is the #1 way to prevent the spread of germs that cause infections and illness.  Sound easy enough?  It is!  However, in schools, good hand washing is also a much-neglected practice! Good hand hygiene can be achieved either with washing with soap and water, or by using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
