appropriately, self-esteem, LIFESKILLS and 7 Habits, manners, conflict
resolution, anti-bullying, decision-making,
goal-setting, coping strategies, career awareness, personal body safety (good
touch/bad touch), understanding and appreciating diversity, and basic social
skills.
HEALTH SERVICES
The
health of all students is a vital concern if children are to reach their
maximum learning potential. The school's health program is designed to help
students develop good health habits. The school is staffed with a registered
nurse five days a week. The health room is staffed by school personnel who have
been trained in CPR and First Aid by the American Red Cross, and functions
under the supervision of the school nurse. The nurse coordinates the health
program (i.e. vision and hearing screenings) and acts as a liaison between
school personnel, community organizations and medical resources. If a child
becomes sick at school, a parent will be contacted and will be responsible for
taking the child home or to the doctor. It
is extremely important that the school have on file the home and business
telephone numbers of both parents and an emergency name and phone number in the
event of an emergency situation. Please
be proactive and make sure we have your correct contact information to create a
win-win situation for everyone.
