Today, our entire school had an incredible adventure at Bethel Horizons. Students participated in four exciting activities: a low ropes course, a live animal presentation, environmental team-building games, and a high ropes course. The trip was designed to strengthen our school community, foster leadership and communication skills, and encourage everyone to push their limits. Many reached heights they never thought possible. It was a beautiful day filled with great memories and growth.

Let the North Crawford FFA cook you dinner on Thursday for this busy night of home athletic events!

FFA members had a beautiful fall day for the dairy and livestock judging competition held by River Ridge FFA!

A regular attendance routine is important for your child’s well-being, learning and long-term success. Below are tips to keep your child healthy and avoid unnecessary absences from school. Nutrition, Sleep and Exercise • Ensure your child eats a good breakfast every morning or check if your school serves breakfast. • Maintain a regular bedtime and morning routine. • Keep screens out of the bedroom and limit use prior to bedtime. • Encourage your child to stay active for at least 60 minutes a day. Hygiene • Stress hand washing, particularly before eating, and after using the restroom. • Remind your child to brush their teeth twice a day. • Avoid close contact with individuals who are sick. Don’t share cups, utensils, hair brushes or combs. • Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue, or cough/sneeze into an elbow. Safety • Make sure your child wears a seatbelt and/or appropriate car seats during car rides, and a helmet when using a bike, skateboard or scooter. • If your child walks to school, help them find a safe route to school and to travel with at least one friend. Have a backup plan in case of bad weather. Wellness • Ensure your child visits their health care provider for: • A physical once a year. • All recommended Immunizations, including Flu and COVID-19. • Chronic health issues such as asthma or diabetes. • Visit the dentist twice a year. • Try to schedule non-urgent medical appointments outside of school hours. • If your child doesn’t have health or dental insurance, reach out to your school’s nurse or social worker or other staff member to help connect you with resources. • Complete your school’s annual health form. • Agree to allow your child to participate in health and vision screenings offered at school. • If your child has a chronic health issue such as asthma, make sure that your child’s health care provider completes appropriate school forms that allow your child to keep/carry any necessary medications at school. • If your child has a disability, work closely with the school and your child’s health care provider to ensure appropriate supports and services. • If your child has a compromised immune system or is at high risk for complications from common illnesses, please talk to your school (school nurse if available) about developing a plan with you and your child's health-care provider to keep your child healthy and safe while attending school. • If you are concerned that your child may have a contagious illness (including COVID-19), call your child’s health care provider or school nurse for advice. • If your child needs to stay home for a prolonged period due to illness, talk to your child’s teacher to find out about resources they can use at home to keep learning once they feel well enough. Engagement • Make sure your child feels safe and connected at school. Involve them in afterschool activities. • If you are worried that your child may be suffering from anxiety, talk with your teacher, the school nurse, social worker or other school staff to discuss the challenge and identify what can help your child. If your child is missing class because of challenges with behavioral issues, contact the school and/or your child’s health care provider for support and resources. • Ask the school about health-related policies including about COVID-19. • Monitor your child’s attendance and academic progress and seek support when needed.
