WALES FALL CONFERENCES
Calling all Wales Families!
If you haven't already, please sign up for a fall conference for each of your learners.
HALLOWEEN DANCE EXPECTATIONS
On Halloween, October 31st, we will be having a dance party for our students! We are encouraging students to dress up in costumes for the afternoon, if they feel comfortable.
Here are the guidelines for costumes to be worn during school: - No masks (nothing over their heads or face)
- No blood
- No weapons
- Bring costumes in a bag in the morning and kids will change into them in the afternoon
WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM THE HEALTH ROOM?
The Health Room's goal is to keep kids at school whenever possible.
Keeping kids in school helps them stay engaged with their learning and social interactions. If a child has minor illnesses or conditions that can be managed, it’s often better for them to be at school. To help with this, our campus has systems in place to support students who might need a little extra help while they’re not feeling their best. It’s all about finding that balance between health and education!
In order to help us keep this balance in tact, we are asking for help from the adults who send kids to school. These are the reasons we ask for you to keep your child home from school -
Fever of 100.4 or above
Throwing up
Diarrhea
Too ill/tired/injured to learn
If your child visits the health room and does not present with these symptoms, we will encourage your child to stay in school.
If you are sending your child to school, we will assume you have run through the above symptoms and have determined they are well enough to learn.
Telling kids that they can be picked up if they’re feeling unwell usually makes them more likely to want to leave school even for minor discomforts. Instead, encouraging them to communicate their feelings to staff and reassuring them that they can get support from the school staff can help them build resilience. It’s all about teaching them how to manage discomfort and encouraging them to stay engaged in their learning.

FAMILY DIRECTORIES
In accordance with our student handbook, families MUST OPT IN to school directories. If you would like your student's info to be available to other students for play dates, birthday invitations, etc, you must fill out the form below. Please fill out one form per child.
If you would like access to the collected information, you must email your classroom teacher or Mrs. Schultz at schultzr@kmsd.edu and ask for the directory, as it cannot be published on any public sites. The spreadsheet you will receive is a live document and will be updated as parents fill out the form.
Once again, you MUST fill out this form for Wales or this form for Explore in order to be included in the directory.
After it is completed, email Mrs. Schultz or your classroom teacher to ask for a copy of the directory.
