SANTA’S SECRET SHOP
|
Once again, our students will have the opportunity to buy gifts for family members at our annual Santa’s Secret Shop. These items will range in price from $.50 up to $5.00. Each classroom will have assigned times for shopping and we will give you more details as we get closer to the event. Santa’s Secret Shop will be open the week of December 15th – December 19th, during school hours. If a child still owes money for the Fall Fundraiser, they will NOT be able to purchase anything from Santa’s Secret Shop until the previous debts have been paid in full. |
| Physical Education: |
Our students have P.E. on every Wednesday and Friday during the school year. Please make sure your child wears athletic shoes on these days!

|
| “Four to Soar” |
These are the four school-wide rules that the Central Elementary staff created and we expect ALL students to follow. Please read over these with your child and remind them to follow them each and every day!
|
|
In order to follow court orders concerning custody and guardianship issues, we must have a current copy of all court decrees, on file, at the school. Please make sure you keep us up-to-date with these documents and please send any new information of changes (including address or phone numbers) to Mr. Jochim or Mrs. Gabehart. |
| ATTENDANCE |
Attendance helps determine whether a school meets A.Y.P. (Adequate Yearly Progress). As a parent, there is little you can do about an illness or accident. However, we ask that you try to schedule family vacations, medical and dental appointments, or other activities so they don’t interfere with your child’s attendance. Classroom instruction and performance suffer greatly when your child is not at school. We now have an automated calling system that will call you if your child is marked as having an unexcused absence. Please make sure you call the school or send in a note if your child is absent. Please call before 9:30 (765-342-6611) Ext. 1

Again this year, everyone has a family lunch account. Money may be added to this account at any time, at any building where your children go to school. If any of your children eat lunch, the amount of that lunch is taken from your family account. Please make every effort to keep enough money in your account to pay for your child’s lunch each day. If they do not go into the “red” on the family account it helps us all. If you are paying weekly on your child’s account, please try to send in the check on Mondays. This lets us get the paper work done right off the bat. If you have questions regarding your account, please call the school or Food Service Dept. at 349-4452. For more information about click on the following link. FOOD SERVICE

COLD WEATHER |
As the days begin to get cooler and fall weather sets in, please be sure that your child is wearing appropriate clothing for the weather. We will try to have our students outside on every day possible, but they need to be dressed appropriately. Please help us with this situation because we don’t want to have to keep students in for not wearing proper clothing. Unfortunately, winter is quickly approaching and this means a drastic change in weather. Weather permitting; students will go outside for lunch recess. Please make sure your child is dressed properly. If your child fails to dress properly they will have to stay inside during recess. The decision on weather or not a child is dress appropriately will be left up to Mr. Jochim

Meningococcal Disease
|
Indiana State Law IC 20-30-5-18, July 1, 2005 requires that schools inform parent/guardians, and students of the causes, symptoms, and spread of meningococcal/meningitis disease. Following is information regarding meningococcal/meningitis disease: Causes-usually from a viral or bacterial infection. Symptoms-high fever, headache, stiff neck, rash with some types, nausea, vomiting, discomfort looking into bright lights, confusion, sleepiness. Spread of disease-some forms of bacterial meningitis are contagious through the exchange of respiratory and throat secretions (i.e. coughing and sneezing). Fortunately, none of the bacteria that cause meningitis are as contagious as conditions like the common cold or the flu, and they are not spread by casual contact by simply breathing the air where a person with meningitis has been. Immunizations are available for some causes of meningitis. Additional information can be obtained from your health care provider, the websites given below, the health department, and the school’s website.
