Below are three ways parents can instill a growth mindset. It will not happen overnight but keep trying! Kids and adults with growth mindsets NEVER GIVE UP! Recognize your own mindset: Be mindful of your own thinking and of the messages you send with your words and actions. Praise kids for the efforts they make that will lead to success. It’s okay to make mistakes – even parents! When parents talk positively about making mistakes, kids start to think of mistakes as a natural part of the learning process. a breathing exercise. If you've never tried meditation before, it's as simple as sitting down and focusing on the sounds and feelings of your own breath. Take a walk or do some other exercise.Use positive self-talk (i.e. I’ve got this. I can do this.) Talk about things you are thankful for in your life Mrs. Horn ? Nurse’s Notes School Health Staff— Our Nurse Autumn Leidy is available most days per week and is the person who has the most direct contact with your child when there is an illness or injury at school. Our Health Assistant Tammy Hupfl is trained in First Aid and CPR. If your child has a medical condition that may affect their time at school, please contact the school nurse to discuss the student’s condition. We are committed to helping your student have a healthy and successful school year. Our goal is to keep your child healthy so they can miss the least amount of instructional time while at Richard Henry Lee. As we approach flu season it is important, we remember to practice healthy habits like handwashing, covering our mouths when we cough or sneeze, and staying home to rest when we are sick. Please remember if your child has a fever, vomiting, or has diarrhea to keep your student home until they are free of those symptoms for 24 hours.?Also, please contact the health room if your student has any health needs that may impact their education. All medication is to be brought in by a parent with a parent's request to administer medication form (PRAM). ?Keep an extra set of clothes (especially bottoms) in a bag in their locker. The bathrooms are further away this year. Accidents can happen at any age. Keeping extra clothes in their locker will allow them to quickly change and get back to learning. The health room does not supply clothes. If your child has a fever of 100° (or higher) keep them home. Over the counter medicine may bring the temperature down but won’t stop the germs from spreading to other students. If your child gets sent home from the health room with a temperature of 100°, they must be fever free for 24 hours without the help of medicine before returning to school. If your child has red, draining eyes, diarrhea or an unusual rash, keep them home. They may need to see a doctor for further evaluation. Any medication (prescription, inhalers, over the counter) that your child needs at school must be accompanied with a doctor’s order. An adult must deliver the medicine to the health room. Prescription medication must be in a pharmacy-labeled container with the student’s name. Non-prescription medications must be in a new SEALED package.Keep your child’s immunizations up to date. If you need assistance getting vaccines call the school nurse, Autumn Leidy- RN at 410-222-6435.Make sure that your child gets a good night’s sleep. Turn off all screens (TV, phone, video games) at least one hour before bedtime. Send your child to school with a snack. If you have questions or would like to share pertinent health information with the school nurse call Richard Henry Lee Elementary School at 410-222-6435.
