Health Office Visits

The district is noticing an increasing number of students visiting the health office. We need to be sure the health office is being utilized for real injures and illnesses. The following are health office guidelines:

1.       Students with a legitimate illness or injury with special attention to head injures. 

 

2.      Teachers will use their discretion when sending students with a sore neck, sore knee, etc. There is usually no treatment that can be done in the health office, so having the students sit down and rest in class is usually the best option.

3.       Emotional issues will be directed to the school counselor.

 

4.       Our classroom is equipped with band-aids for small cuts and Kleenex. This is meant to minimize the time students are out of class. 

 

5.       The health office is not equipped to provide students with lotion, chap stick, cotton balls, q-tips, vasoline, or cough drops, except in an emergency. Students must bring these supplies from home if they require them.

 

6.       Students with serious health concerns, such as severe illness, diabetes, and serious injury will be escorted to the health office by a responsible student or staff member. All other students will go alone. When a student does escort a classmate, the escort should remain outside the health office.

Mystery Reader

Our January Mystery Reader will be here tomorrow at 12:00. This person's clues are:

 

I have three kids.

I think that the kids at GSL are the "Greatest of All Time."

Always go "Double"

 



 



Dressing for the Weather

Students are expected to come to school with a warm winter jacket, boots, snowpants, hat, mittens, and a scarf. All of these items (except snowpants) are expected to be put on at the end of the day. Many students are saying they are not bringing mittens to school. They will be outside for 30 minutes unless the temperature is below 0. Appropriate dress is expected and important. Please let me know if winter items are needed.

Panther Pride Day

Our next Panther Pride day is this Thursday, January 24. Wear all of your GSL Panther gear and/or black and purple!
