Weekly nEWSletter

Greetings, Eames Way Families!

Just like that, we've ended our final full week of April! We recognized Earth Day and had fun using recycles to build our own robots (please be sure to check the display of student work in the main hallway!) Our younger students also learned about our solar system in a planetarium enrichment on Tuesday! Thank you to our wonderful PTO for providing another fun learning opportunity for our students.

We had a wonderful time at Pizza Bingo Night on Wednesday and were thrilled to see so many families participate. Special thanks to the many students who helped me with jokes between bingo games in the first session! I definitely learned a few new jokes which I'll be adding to my repertoire!

On Friday we enjoyed High-Fives from our Marshfield First Responders AND members of the Marshfield High School Senior Class who spent the day at Eames Way completing community service projects! Senior students painted, power-washed, and raked the leaves out of our gardens and did a fantastic job. We were also thrilled to have our seniors join us for another Lunch Around the World presentation!

Special thanks to the Moeller and Hatoum Family for teaching us all about Lebanon and sharing music, singing, and the beautiful Arabic language with us! The Moeller children did a fantastic job in assisting their grandparents with the presentation and we are so grateful to their family for visiting Eames Way and sharing their culture!

Read on to see more of this week's adventures and be sure to check May's Calendar of Events! Have a great weekend, Eames Way Families!

With Best Wishes,

Ms. Bishop, Principal

PickUp Patrol is an app used by our families to notify EWS about attendance, including when your student will be absent, arriving late or leaving early, as well as dismissal plan changes. Thank you for your cooperation in helping us implement our new system!

If you have any questions, please first check the PUP Parent Guide. If you still need help, contact the EWS Front Office (781-834-5090 or vquigley@mpsd.org) or PickUp Patrol at support@pickuppatrol.net.

Every three years our parent/guardian CORI forms need to be updated in order to volunteer at school events or in the classroom. This year marks the beginning of a three year term, so every parent/guardian that would like to volunteer needs to complete a new form this year (even if you have been approved in the past).

Please click here for the form and submit by bringing this to the front office with your license. You do have the option to have the form notarized and sent in with a copy of your license if you cannot come to the school.

Please check your email for your credentials. All families can contact aspen@mpsd.org if you have any questions accessing the parent portal.

Is this required? No! This service is 100% optional. A consent form will be sent home today in your child’s folder. If you’re interested then fill it out and return it to school next week.

Attention Fifth Grade Parents

Postural screening(“scoliosis screening”) will be taking place during the month of May. The Department of Public Health guidelines mandate that students in grades 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 are screened annually for scoliosis. More detailed information will be sent out to 5th grade parents. If you would like your child to opt out of this screening, please send in a note or email to Nurse White at awhite@mpsd.org.

Illness

Please be vigilant in monitoring your children for any symptoms of illness prior to sending them to school. If you have concerns about illness/symptoms in the morning, please call Nurse White to discuss before sending your child/children into school. If you have questions regarding absences or attendance related to illnesses, Nurse White will be happy to discuss these with you. The Health Office phone number is 781-834-5090, ext. 44500. Please continue to keep the school nurse updated on any health related absence awhite@mpsd.org.

Guidelines for return to school after an illness

• Fever over 100 degrees (child must be fever-free for 24 hours, without the use of Tylenol or Motrin, to return to school)

• Vomiting and/or diarrhea (if your child has had any vomiting or diarrhea within the past 24 hours, they should not return to school)

• Diagnosis of communicable disease such as strep throat or conjunctivitis (if diagnosed with a communicable disease and prescribed antibiotics, your child must not return to school until they have been on antibiotics for at least 24 hours).
