Letter from the Interim Principal

Greetings Parents,

Today I want to give a shout out to the staff at Roosevelt Elementary School. It has been a very busy time for all of the Roosevelt staff the last couple of weeks. In addition to the daily responsibilities of the week, grades were due, along with reading plans, complete i-Ready and Aimsweb testing, run reports, throw in conferences last night and next Tuesday makes for a couple of active weeks. Thanks to the Roosevelt Staff for all of your time and efforts. Your professionalism is noticed and appreciated.

Parents, if you have the time, think about sending a message to a staff member that works with your child. Your show of appreciation will brighten their day. Thank you for considering.

Mr. Hatlen

A Note From The Nurse

ILLNESS/COMMUNICABLE DISEASE MEMO

In order to promote a healthy environment at school for your children, we ask that you be particularly alert to the beginning signs of illness in your child. Keeping them home during an illness until they are completely well will help prevent spread of illness to others in the school.

The following are some symptoms to watch for:
- Thick mucus from the nose Fever of 100 degrees or higher
- Diarrhea Excessive drowsiness
- Pain that interferes with learning
- Persistent, productive cough
- Vomiting
- Earache
- Red, itchy eyes with discharge
- Undiagnosed rash or open sore
- Sore throat that causes difficulty swallowing

If your child has any of these symptoms at school, you may be contacted, and if so, will be expected to make arrangements to pick your child up from school as soon as possible. Students must be symptom free for a period of 24 hours before returning to school or engaging in school related activities. If an antibiotic is ordered they must be on that
medication 24 hours before returning to school. Your health care provider or the public health department may determine the need to be out of school for a longer period of time. If your child is absent from school, please call the school to notify them if it is due to illness or other reasons. We must have an authorization form signed by you and your doctor if any medication is required during school hours. Medication bottles and doctors’ orders must match. Please contact the school office to obtain this form and further information on the school medication policy. It is important to update Infinite Campus with correct phone numbers. We must have a working number to contact you and/or someone else in case you are unavailable.

The statements above have been developed by school district staff, reviewed by the district’s Health Advisory Committee and approved by the Oshkosh Area School District’s Board of Education.
