Panther Pride Press📰

Dear PFE Families,

The year is marching quickly forward and as we enter our fourth week of school, suddenly Boosterthon is upon us. Boosterthon is a great fundraiser that has been in the district for several years. Some of the positive aspects of Boosterthon are characters lessons that attach to the program, the support level of the staff for Boosterthon and the curated events that students love. This year's Boosterthon will be on Friday, Sept 8 with a GLOW RUN! If you haven't gotten registered for this event please consider doing so. Boosterthon makes it very easy to share this information on social media which increases our money raising potential.

Last year, we were able to raise $20, 000 and it was dedicated to student spaces. With this money we are transforming our ART ROOM and SCIENCE LAB. The Art room is receiving new tables and chairs. The tables have a white board top for practicing art and they add to an updated more creative space. We want this space to be an engaging and inspiring area for student to harness their creative spirit. We are "SCIENCING UP the lab!" Lots of interactive Science stuff such as a Terrarium and Hydroponic Gardens, we are also going to purchase shelves to house all of the cool stuff so it is accessible to students. We have so many exciting ideas for the Science Lab and collaborating with students to find out their Science interests because it is THEIR lab. Both of these spaces are being transformed right now and we look forward to having parents come check them out during our Open House this year!

For this year's funds we are going to continue to focus on Student Spaces. What I love about having the Boosterthon so early in the year is that our current students including our 5th graders will have access to these spaces this year! Our focus will be our atriums and making these spaces even more engaging for students. More to come on this!

GENERAL CLINIC GUIDELINES

As always, it is important to keep your child home when he/she does not feel well.

Daily health checks must be done prior to sending your child to school.

What does your student need to thrive everyday at school?

• Sleep! (approximately 9 hours per night)

• Breakfast and snacks

• Water Bottle - PLEASE make sure you send your child with a water bottle

• Change of Clothes in backpack (accidents of all kinds can/do happen)

Please do NOT send your child to school if he/she has or has had:

• Temperature of 100 ºFahrenheit or higher – measured when no fever suppressing medication has been administered within the past 24 hours.

• Vomiting

• Diarrhea in the past 24 hours

• Persistent, hacking cough

• Continually runny nose with white, green, or yellow mucus

• Eyes that appear swollen, red, and weeping

• Strep throat - may return 24 hours after the antibiotic is started and fever has subsided.

• Rash of unknown cause anywhere on the body

• Lice - excluded until all live lice have been removed, they must be walked into school by a parent to be checked by the nurse before returning to class.

• Scabies – exclude until treatment has begun

A good rule to follow: “When in doubt, keep them out.”

IMMUNIZATIONS: Once your student is current on immunizations (typically by Kindergarten unless on a Catch-Up schedule), we do not need immunization records again until middle school.

Stay healthy,

Mallory Metcalf [PFE]

As a reminder, breakfast and lunch are not free as they have been in the past. The National School Lunch Program, as administered by the Humble ISD Child Nutrition Department, provides free and reduced-priced meals for students who fall within the eligibility guidelines. Your children may qualify for free meals or for reduced-price meals. The reduced price is $.30 for breakfast and $.40 for lunch for all campuses. I would encourage you to visit the Humble ISD Child Nutrition site to find out more information related to the application process.

Another way that we are trying to stay connected is through our daily posts on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. If you aren't following us yet, please do. You can also message us and send pictures that we can then share. We LOVE seeing our Panthers!
