Head Lice Prevention Bug Busters clinics provide head lice services for children and their families. If children and/or their family members are found to have head lice by the Public Health Nurse at the clinic, low cost medicated shampoo and combs are available. Location: Cathy Wever Elementary School Every Wednesday 3:30-5:30. Kiwanis East Boys and Girls Club Every Thursday 3:30-5:30. If your child has long hair, we recommend putting it up in a ponytail while they are at school. This will help prevent lice from spreading between children while they play.

What Is My Child Doing At School? A typical day in kindergarten is pretty busy! Students participate in daily whole group, small group and individual activities. You will notice that your child will not come home with a lot of paper and pencil work. Most learning is done through play-based and inquiry-based learning. This means that students are encouraged to problem solve, experiment and develop their skills in a way appropriate to their learning abilities. FOCUS FOR MARCH:
Letter of the Week – Q, R, S, T. Popcorn Word identification. Sound and Letter identification. Printing words. Patterning and Number Sense. Independent dressing. Community Helpers.
