Scott Pack Huddle
Quarter l is coming to a close and I couldn't
be more proud of the work the students have
accomplished. School is their job right now
and somedays it's hard and other days it's a
breeze. I've watched the relationships grow
between the students and the staff and it's
exciting to see that trust established. We
want all of our students to feel and know that
Scott IS is a safe place for them. We will
emphasize this in more detail during the
month of October as we continue to focus on
the social emotional well being of the
students and our anti-bullying lessons.
If you have any concerns please reach out to
your classroom teacher. They are your first
line to support your child. If more support is
needed we have an amazing counselor. Mr.
Curley. My door is always open to you and I
appreciate the parents who have reached out
to share their thoughts or concerns with me. I
truly believe ifwe work together we will
make Scott the best learning environment it
can be. I look forward to all the possibilities
Quarter 2 will bring.
Sincerely,
Ms. Martinez
Here are some tips from school nurses for staying healthy during cold and flu season:
- Get Vaccinated: Getting an annual flue vaccine is the best way to protect against the flu.
- Wash Your Hands: Washing your hands with soap and warm water is the best way to prevent the spread of germs.
- Cover Your Mouth And Nose: Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze, and cough into a bent elbow or tissue, not your hands.
- Stay Home When Sick: Children with a fever should stay home until they are fever free without medication for at least 24 hours.
- Avoid Close Contact: Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Get Enough Sleep: School-age children should get 9 to 11 hours of sleep each night.
- Eat A Balanced Diet: Eat a balance diet and stay hydrated to help decrease the chance of headaches and stomachaches.

AS KIDS GET TO THE INTERMEDIATE YEARS, WE
SOMETIMES FORGET THAT THEY ARE STILL
"KIDS". MODELING READING AND WRITING IN
FRONT OF YOUR CHILD IS EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT. NO MATTER THEIR AGE, SEVERAL
FACTORS INFLUENCE THEIR READING AND
WRITING GROWTH INCLUDING ATTITUDE,
MOTIVATION, ACCESS AND EXPOSURE.
EXPLAIN INC WHY WE
READ OR WRITE IS ALSO
ESSENTIAL. FOR
INSTANCE, WE READ TO
FICURE OUT HOW TO DO
SOMETHINC OR LEARN
SOMETHING. WE WRITE
TO THANK SOMEONE FOR
THEIR KINDNESS OR TO
WISH THEM WELL.
MAKING READING AND
WRITINC MATERIALS,
ONES THEY TRULY CARE
ABOUT, READILY
MALIABLE IS KEY.
REMEMBER, THE POST LIBRARY HAS
ALL KINDS OF BOOKS, AUDIOBOOKS,
ETC. IN ADDITION, EACH STUDENT HAS
ACCESS TO DESTINY DISCOVER WHICH
PROVIDES ALL THE SCHOOL'S PRINT
AND DIGITAL RESOURCES, INCLUDING
EBOOKS, AUDIOBOOKS AND
INTERACTIVE BOOKS.
Reading is essential. This month we wanted to share
some ideas that may help you at home with your
child.
1) As the weather begins to get cooler take reading
outside. Audio books are great for hiking or sit
down with a good book under the shade.
2) Pack reading materials in your vehicle. Books,
magazines, maps or pamphlets of places to visit all
spark interest in reading.
3) Play games that require reading. There's nothing
better than a family game night that incorporates
word or vocabulary based games.
We hope you like these suggestions. If you haven't
checked out the school site please do at the link
below. There are many audio books you can choose
from.

We have exciting news!
5th Grade students have
been introduced to Seesaw.Â
They will be using it to showcase theirÂ
work, receive feedback,
and collaborate with their
peers through interactive

activities. Seesaw can beÂ
accessed through iPhone,Â
Android, or any modern
browser. This is a great
tool, and you will beÂ

6th Grade students will be
using Google Sites to create
class websites where students

Child find is the ongoing process used by which DoDEA Schools
seek to identify individuals (from birth to age 21) who are eligible to
receive special education and related services. Because disabling
conditions may appear at any point in a child 's development, it is
important that the Child Find activities continue through all grade
levels. Child Find activities include the dissemination of information
to the public as well as screening, referral , and identification
procedures.
If a parent or guardian has concerns regarding a child's
development or school performance, start by reaching out to the
classroom teacher. The teacher will be able to share data
regarding how your child is performing and if they are meeting the
College and Career Ready Standards for their grade. The teacher
will listen , make recommendations, and may choose to seek
consultation from other professionals in the building to address
any areas of concern. Identification of students with disabilities is a
collaborative approach and parents are a key member of their
child's educational team. Our teachers and staff look forward to
working with our community to meet the ne s of all students .
Quarter 1 ends on October 7th. Please make sure your student has
completed all required assignments. Remember, you can always follow
your student's progress through our ASPEN information system.
Students can access ASPEN through ClassLinks. Please contact the
school if you are having an issues with the system.
Our Character Strong word of the month for October is
"responsibility". Students learn that responsibility means doing whatÂ
they are supposed to do, taking care of things that belong to them or
someone else, and owning up to their mistakes or inappropriate
choices. They also learn that it's important for them to follow throughÂ
with doing the the things they are responsible for.
October is National Bullying Prevention Month. All children are entitled
to courteous and respectful treatment by students and staff at a school.
Educators have a duty to ensure that students have a safe learning
environment. Lessons will be presented to the students to distinguish
between bullying, teasing, and other ways of being unkind.
Students can make appointments to see me or stop by when needed. I
encourage parents and guardians to reach out to me with any concerns
you may have. Please contact me at scott.curely@dodea.edu or call me
at (502) 942-3205.
