UPCOMING EVENTS
YOU ARE INVITED

Parent Meeting
January 27, 2020
6:30 pm
Mt. Nebo Cafe

Anchorpoint Counseling Ministry will join us and lead this parent meeting providing information about their Managing Peer Pressure and Stress to Avoid Making Poor Decisions presentations to students in grades 7-12 during the school day on January 27 and 28. They will address the vaping epidemic.
COUNSELING CORNER
HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, PARENTS AND GUARDIANS

The National College Fair is coming to the David Lawrence Convention Center on Thursday, February 6, 2020, 9:00 am - 12:00 pm and 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm AND Friday, February 7, 2020, 9:00 am - 12:00 pm

A college fair can be a great way to get initial information and access to hundreds of colleges, particularly if you're in 11th grade! 

Avoid lines and receive additional details when you REGISTER FOR FREE at WWW.NACACFAIRS.ORG/NCF  

You must email the front office to notify us that your student is attending the fair with at least one of their own parents/guardians, in order for them to receive an excused absence from school. Students, please be responsible and communicate with your teachers as well about any missed work or notes!

Once you connect with colleges of interest at a fair, great next steps are:
• Visit their website and view what they have to offer
• Schedule a tour

We recommend tours be scheduled, whenever possible, over breaks in order to limit missing academic instruction time at Eden. College visits with written notice are excused absences as well. To gain the most benefit from your visits, have questions ready to ask and if you have a major in mind ask the admissions department to sit in on a relevant class.

WINTER 2020 HEALTH SERVICES NEWSLETTER
Winter has arrived! The Winter 2020 Health Services Newsletter was created to help keep you informed of all ongoing and upcoming health related information. 

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about your child's health at school and remember to wash your hands ;) 

REQUIRED DENTAL EXAM FOR 7TH GRADE STUDENTS
School Law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania mandates a dental examination be performed on entry into school (kindergarten or new enrollment), grade three, and grade seven . These grades were selected because they represent critical periods of growth and development. 

Please submit your child’s dental form to the front office at Eden or directly to the school nurse before February 28, 2020. Dental exams may be dated any time after July 1, 2018.

You can download a DENTAL FORM HERE

If your child has had a dental exam after July 1, 2018, documentation of their visit may be:
•    Turned into to the main office at Eden
•    Faxed to the school nurse (Avonworth) at 412-358-9621
•    Emailed to school nurse at cbarcaskey@avonworth.k12.pa.us

The school nurse is required to collect this documentation as part of each student’s health record before the end of the school year.
 
If your child does not have health insurance and you would like to receive information on Children’s Health Insurance Plan (CHIP), please let me know.
