Grade 5 are looking for mentors!

• The role of the mentor is chiefly to advise and keep students on track.
• There should be regular meetings. For the most part we would like mentor meetings to happen during UOI time, in the grade 5 classrooms. HOWEVER – no problem if they come to you if that suits you better!
• Offer advice on locating resources and using them efficiently.
• Ask questions (i.e. to clarify thinking, to help with processing information, to extend knowledge etc.)
• Help interpret sophisticated/difficult information.
• Facilitate interviews, telephone calls, any electronic communication.
• Goal setting and time management advice.
• Be supportive and encouraging.
• Celebrate achievements and successes with the students.

Please email any of the grade 5 teachers if you are willing to be a part of this exciting journey! Information meeting     Thursday 22nd March at 3:15.

Come and join us for an “Excel-lent” lunchtime opportunity next Tuesday, 6 March. This will focus on how to extract Veracross data in an excel format and “play” with it in Excel making use of Pivot Tables, graphs, and formulas. Hope to see you there! Please bring your laptop and make sure that your Office is up-to-date (note: feel free to stop by our offices for help with this during the week).

According to the Jiangsu Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, the flu activity continues at a high level in the future period. There is a larger proportion of H1N1 viruses than influenza B being detected. Being aware of the flu symptoms such as persistent high fever, vomiting or diarrhea is important. In addition to flu shots, we should take the following everyday prevention actions against flu. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pdf/freeresources/updated/everyday-preventive-actions-8.5×11.pdf

All students and staff must remain at home 24 hours after their fever is gone, without the use of a fever-reducing medicine. A fever is defined as 100°F (37.8°C) or higher.

Please see me if you have any questions,

Nurse Ellen
