Sunflower Seed Contest

Can you guess how many sunflowers seeds are in this picture?

This week our students will be estimating how many sunflower seeds are on this sunflower from our garden.  Once their guesses have been submitted, our kindergarten students will take apart the flower and count each seed to get the actual total.

Winners' names will go into a drawing for fun prizes.

See how close you can get!  Answer will be posted on Twitter soon....

Aerial Photography of Blue Ash Elementary

Massey Green AVP, an aerial photography company, will be shooting some marketing videos of our district Tuesday, September 22nd through Thursday, September 24th between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. This filming will be of school properties only and will include the use of a drone at no higher than 400 feet. They plan on shooting during times when our students will not be outside, and will not cause disruption to our school day. We wanted you to be aware in case you see them on our campus during those times.

Welcome back to school!

Here are some beginning of the School year notes from our School Nurse:

• Emergency contact information and student health information.   Remember to keep Final Forms current throughout the school year. Here is the Final form link http://www.sycamoreschools.org/documents/contentdocuments/doc_23_5_5402.pdf  This information is vital in the event your child is sick or having a health concern.  Health conditions can change throughout the school year, please share this information so we  can provide the best care for your child.  Please notify the office and school nurse when you make changes in Final Forms at wyrickd@sycamoreschools.org or jansonj@sycamoreschools.org .
• Important Sycamore School Health Information is found in the Student Health Handbook found on our school district website at http://www.sycamoreschools.org/documents/contentdocuments/doc_23_5_5453.pdf
• Illness guidelines are listed on our school district website at http://www.sycamoreschools.org/documents/contentdocuments/doc_23_5_1300.pdf
• Information regarding students with food allergies are listed on out school district website at http://www.sycamoreschools.org/documents/contentdocuments/doc_23_5_4272.pdf
• Medication procedures for students that may need to take medications (including prescription, over the counter or herbal remedies) during the school day are found at http://www.sycamoreschools.org/documents/contentdocuments/doc_23_5_2801.pdf
• Lice 101: Lice cannot jump or fly.  They are transmitted by direct head to head contact with another  person with lice or sharing items placed in the hair.  Children should, therefore, be instructed against sharing hats, clothing, or hair items with others.  Children should take their own pillows and sleeping bags when spending the night with a friend.  Household pets do not transmit lice. In addition to the district student health headbook, a  great resource for lice information is https://www.aap.org/en-us/about-the-aap/aap-press-room/pages/AAP-Updates-Treatments-for-Head-Lice.aspx
• Vision and Hearing Screenings are scheduled for October 5, 7 and 12.  All Kindergarten, 1st grade, 3rd grade and all new students new to the district will be screened. It is important for students to bring their glasses if they have been prescribed glasses.
• Remember that kids need sleep.  Encourage your child(ren) to get the necessary rest so that they are ready for learning and fun.
• Breakfast is a must.  Children learn better when they eat breakfast.  Protein is important as well, so add eggs, cheese, or peanut butter to that toast or waffle!
• Water is important too. It helps with fatigue and fighting infection, so water bottles are great to send to school.

If you have question or concerns during the school year please contact:

Diana Wyrick RN, Blue Ash Elementary School Nurse at wyrickd@sycamoreschools.org or 513-686-1713.
