HEALTH OFFICE INFORMATION
October 2016 FIRE PREVENTION & ANTI-BULLYING AWARENESS MONTH
Welcome back to our 2016-2017 school year! We would like to take this opportunity to introduce our health office staff. Ms. Denise Rosa, RN is the nurse is the Primary Center for Kindergarten and First grade. The health aide working with Ms. Rosa in the PC is Mrs. Beth Berkowitz. C.E.W. welcomes Mrs. Jeanne Lucero, RN working in the Intermediate Center heath office for grades 2-4 with Mrs. Donna Grun as the health aide. September has come and gone so quickly. We ask that you take the opportunity to settle in to the routine of October and see what our Health Office will be doing this year. Please refer to the Student/Parent handbook it has an abundance of information you may need related to your students mandated physicals, immunizations and other medical topics. The Longwood School District home page as well is a wonderful tool for you to utilize.
Throughout the school year, there will be a variety of monthly topics from the health office. Each month we will be sharing information on a topic related to Health, Wellness and/or Safety. It is our goal to have the student and their at-home grown up get involved in some healthy practices and gain some knowledge while doing fun activities at home.
National Bullying Prevention Month kicks off in October. During this time, you can help your student to learn about what bullying is through awareness, discussion and action. Give someone a nice compliment just to make them smile, help students to be involved in the cause and let them chose to wear the color orange during October in support of Anti-Bullying.
National Fire Prevention Week is from October 9, 2016 –October 15, 2016. The theme for this year’s fire prevention is “Don’t wait, check the date”. It is designed to raise awareness to safe practices in our home with smoke detectors. Look for information in your child’s folder related to this topic.
Thank you so much and we are looking forward to a great, HEALTHY 2016-2017 school year at C.E.W.!

The new school year has started as a HUGE success! We welcomed many smiling faces to the Charles E. Walters family. This is a time where children may feel anxious and tired. Getting back into the routine can be very difficult. There are ways, however, to help your child overcome and handle anxiety.
Some ways to help your child, if they have difficulties with anxiety are:
Have a routine and stick with it.
Assure your child that sometimes a change in routine is okay.
Schedule relaxing activities to do with your child.
Teach/Help your child how to problem solve.
Teach relaxation strategies.
Get a good night’s sleep.
As we begin October, please be reminded to check your child’s communication book on a daily basis. It is an excellent vehicle of communication between parents and teachers. Your child should be bringing it home every night.
We count on you, as parents, to keep us informed of any important information we should know regarding your child. By working together, we are sure to have a fun and successful year!!
C.E.W. DOES IT R.I.G.H.T.!!
