FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK April break will soon be here and families and students will be looking for things to do. While I certainly hope that we will have some nice warm weather and everyone will have a chance to get outside, I also hope that families will take some time to read, write and practice math during this week. We all know that if you want to be good at something you have to practice. Research says that to become an expert you need 10,000 hours of practice! That's why sports teams and band members practice often, even daily. The same is true for those who want to be good at reading, writing and math. Children need daily practice to keep skills up over breaks from school. Practice shouldn't be boring. Some simple things you can do are play word games, read signs while you drive in the car, play board games with young children that require counting spaces, and the ever popular reading at bed time. For older students longer sustained reading time is important too. If you need more ideas please contact your child's teacher.
This is just a reminder that school starts at 8:45.
The front door will now be locked at 8:45 a.m.
Parents must come into the building to sign their child in.
Thank You!

Noise-Induced Hearing Loss It seems that we’ve become a “plugged in” society these days: Headsets for laptops, mp3 players, ipods… etc. It is important that while enjoying our music & learning, that we take a careful look at how we use electronics, especially when it comes to our hearing. Hearing plays an essential role in communication, speech and language development, and learning. Even a small amount of hearing loss can have profound, negative effects on speech, language comprehension, communication, classroom learning, and social development. Studies indicate that without proper intervention, children with mild to moderate hearing loss, on average, do not perform as well in school as children with no hearing loss. This gap in academic achievement widens as students progress through school. An estimated 12.5% of children and adolescents aged 6–19 years (approximately 5.2 million) and 17% of adults aged 20–69 years (approximately 26 million) have suffered permanent damage to their hearing from excessive exposure to noise. Hearing loss can result from damage to structures and/or nerve fibers in the inner ear, that responds to sound. This type of hearing loss, termed “noise-induced hearing loss,” is usually caused by exposure to excessively loud sounds and cannot be medically or surgically corrected. Noise-induced hearing loss can result from a one-time exposure to a very loud sound, blast, or impulse, or from listening to loud sounds over an extended period.
Preventing Noise-Induced Hearing LossHearing loss caused by exposure to loud sound is preventable. To reduce their risk of noise-induced hearing loss, adults and children can do the following: * Understand that noise-induced hearing loss can lead to communication difficulties, learning difficulties, pain or ringing in the ears (tinnitus), distorted or muffled hearing, and an inability to hear some environmental sounds and warning signals * Identify sources of loud sounds that can contribute to hearing loss and try to reduce exposure. * Adopt behaviors to protect their hearing:- Avoid or limit exposure to excessively loud sounds.- Turn down the volume of music systems.-Move away from the source of loud sounds when possible.- Use hearing protection devices when it is not feasible to avoid exposure to loud sounds or reduce them to a safe level. * Seek hearing evaluation by a licensed audiologist or other qualified professional, especially if there is concern about potential hearing loss
