A NOTE FROM MRS. COFFMAN
Please make sure that your child is reading 20 minutes every night. Reading is essential to gaining comprehension, understanding, and vocabulary. Please encourage your child to read and take AR tests. Broncoville store will open every nine weeks for the students to spend their points. We have some great toys that have been donated, and the students are always excited to shop. Our goal is 22 million words for the entire year! We met our goal of 21 million last year, so we are going to push harder and read more this year! Together we can meet our goal!
Por favor asegúrese de que su hijo lea 20 minutos cada noche. La lectura es esencial para adquirir comprensión, comprensión y vocabulario. Anime a su hijo a leer y tomar las pruebas de AR. La tienda Broncoville abrirá cada nueve semanas para que los estudiantes gasten sus puntos. Tenemos algunos juguetes geniales que han sido donados y los estudiantes siempre están emocionados de comprar. ¡Nuestro objetivo es 22 millones de palabras para todo el año! Cumplimos con nuestra meta de 21 millones el año pasado, ¡así que vamos a esforzarnos más y leer más este año! ¡Juntos podemos alcanzar nuestro objetivo!

NURSE'S CORNER
Parents,
As we move into the season with drastic weather changes and more common flu and strep, please monitor your children for illness. If they have fever >100.0 F they CAN NOT come to school. Please don’t give them medicine to make fever or symptoms better and send them anyway. To return to school, your student must be fever free for 3 days WITHOUT the use of fever reducing medications such as Tylenol, ibuprofen, advil, etc. Please also keep an eye on your children for sore throats, coughing, or shortness of breath. We want to keep our school open and everyone as healthy as possible. If anyone has any questions please call me at the school or email me at stephanie.fleming@meadowisd.net
Also, be sure to bring updated immunization records for this new school year if you haven’t already. I will be going through student’s immunization records that we have at school to make sure everyone is caught up. If you are not caught up (or we don’t have updated records), I will be contacting you by mail &/ phone to get your children up to date on immunizations.
As Always… WASH YOUR HANDS!
Thank you!
