Medications: As this school year is coming to an end, it is important for you all to know the following information. If you have provided your child with a prescription or over-the-counter medication this school year, it needs to be picked up, please. Medications cannot be stored over the summer and will need to be picked up by an adult at the latest by May 24, 2022. Some parents like to pick up their over-the-counter medications when they are here for field day, which is May 20, 2022. Asthma medications will be sent home per district policy. If medications are not picked up by the last day of school, they will be disposed of, even prescription medications. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Here are a few little friendly reminders from the Nurse’s Office:

• New incoming students of all grades please be sure to have an updated Immunization Record and Physical Exam to provide to the nurse the first week of school.

• If your student has any health concerns that require medication, please have the necessary medication administration form filled out and signed by both parents and the physician to return the first week of school. Also, all medications provided to be administered at school MUST be in the ORIGINAL container or prescription bottle.

Remember this fun little tip this summer while enjoying being outside in the sun!

• Slip on a shirt

• Slop on some sunscreen

• Slap on a hat

• Wrap on some sunglasses

Hope you all have an amazing fun and safe summer break!

Lastly, if you have any questions or concerns don’t hesitate to contact Nurse Erin at eingalls@usd266.com.  

This is a good time to get out the calendar and plan ahead for summer learning. Plan to focus a little bit each day on improving his/her skills in a fun way or attend summer school if your child was recommended. If you would like a list of teachers from the district who tutor over the summer, please contact us and we can send it home with your child or email you.

Celebrate this time of year and acknowledge the progress that your child has made in the classroom!

Also, if you are moving or not returning to the district—please let the office know at 722-8230. It helps us with class placements. Thanks!

 Hello Everyone! It is the last month of school and that means FIELD DAY! During this month we are going to finish up fitness testing and review some of the main skills we learned over the year. I can’t tell you how much fun we have had and how much your students have learned.

Field day is on May 20th, with a backup day set to May 23. Click here for a BASIC SCHEDULE for your student's Field day starting location. That link will also have other helpful information. All stations begin at 9:15am, have their class's normal lunch time, and end at 2:40pm. Students will start in a certain area at MES and move every 20 minutes around the grounds. Lunch will be the students normal lunch schedule. You are welcome to come and enjoy a great time with your student as their class moves through the outside stations! We will still ask visitors to not go down to the students classrooms. If you wish to sign your student out, please come through the school office. Some stations may be slightly wet, so quick dry clothes, sunscreen and a hat are probably helpful to send or have applied. More info at the link. If you have questions feel free to email me at thorn@usd266.com!

Thanks so much for being a part of your students' Physical Education.
