ATTENDANCE DESK
Did You Know? Children who enjoy school and who are engaged in school want to go to school every day. When kids
attend every day they learn skills and make friends. This helps them be successful both academically and socially.
Here’s How You Can Help:

Regularly ask your child about school.

What do you like best about your class? What would you like to change about your class? Why?


Tell me about what you do before school, at recess, after school.

What things are you learning in school?

Tell me about upcoming family events at the school that we should plan to attend.
When the answers from your child indicates there are problems contact someone at the school (teacher, counselor,
principal) and ask for help addressing the problem.
ENROLL YOUR CHILD FOR KINDERGARTEN & PRE-SCHOOL
Information is available on the district website for enrolling your child(ren) for kindergarten and pre-school. Visit http://
www.kent.k12.wa.us/Page/5643 for more information.
NOTES FROM OUR NURSE
If your child has a fever, 100º or more, they must stay home until the Fever has been gone for a
full 24 hours without the aid of a fever reducing medicine.
If your child vomits or has diarrhea, they must not return to school until 24 hours have passed
since they last vomited or had diarrhea and are eating normally.
If your child has red, swollen, or puffy eyes with evidence of mucous or drainage they must not
return until there is no drainage from eyes or have been on medicated eye drops for 24 hours.
If your child has lice, they must be checked and cleared by our health room before being allowed back in
school. They will not be permitted back in school with live bugs. Nits are allowed, as long as parents are
continuing to actively remove them. When lice is found, a letter is sent home with the classmates of the
student, advising families to inspect their own children for lice. With proper treatment, the lice can be
removed in as little as one evening. If you need advice about head lice, please contact our school nurse.

POETRY FEATURE:
Recycling
By: Natasha Thach
Trash, trash is everywhere
But people just don’t care
They rip open tasty treats
And throw wrappers in the streets.
We want our Earth to be clean!
We want our Earth to be bright!
People: don’t be mean!
Let’s make our planet right!
We will help anyway we can.
We will make a difference,
so here’s our plan:
Recycling is the word of the day.
So, be careful what you throw away.
Look around and do your part.
It’s never too late to start.

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR MEADOW RIDGE WINNERS!
Every year the Kent area PTSA recognizes three individuals from each school based on the
recommendations of their peers. This year the Meadow Ridge winners were: Thomas Baugh (Outstanding
Educator Award), Nurse Milly Nabarrete (Golden Acorn Award), and Kathy Walker (Outstanding Advocate
Award). The winners attended a dinner catered by the Kent Meridian High School culinary program
students.
COLLEGE NIGHT
Thank you to all our wonderful families who
came to college night! It was wonderful to see
families and their children getting ready for the
future!
WE NEED CLOTHING
When students have a wardrobe malfunction at school we often lend them clothes. Currently,
we are in need of uniform pieces (shorts, skirts, pants, shirts, and jumpers) in sizes 7-10 for girls
and boys. If your child has outgrown their uniform and you no longer need it, please consider
donating it to the office.
RANGER RALLY
THE KINDERGARTENERS ARE HEADED TO COLLEGE!
The kindergartners will be taking a field trip to South Seattle College on Friday, May
27th. This is a program sponsored by local colleges, universities, and technical
institutes to increase awareness of college requirements and engage students in
activities that will be prepare them for success. While on the trip the children will take

FROM MS. KIER’S DESK
Reading: We started our Cinderella Unit. It was fun to learn there was
a true story about Cinderella. It was the Egyptian story. Students have
homework to bring home their props and retell each story. If you have
not heard it, ask them about it. Each child got their own copy of the
Disney Cinderella and we will be comparing/contrasting stories,
putting them in the correct sequence, and doing many fun learning
activities.
Math: We had our test on the big unit where we learned about
subtracting three digit numbers and regrouping. This is a difficult
concept and most of the students did well. Those that were not able
to understand this, will have continued practice. This is a necessary
skill to be able to do in 3rd grade. Thank you for your help with them
as they did their homework.

DID YOU KNOW?
www.kids.nationalgeographic.com
It's important for kids to have breakfast every day, but what
they eat in the morning is crucial too. Choosing breakfast
foods that are rich in whole grains, fiber, and protein while
low in added sugar may boost kids' attention span,
concentration, and memory — which they need to learn in
school.
www.pbskids.org
Kids who eat breakfast are more likely to get fiber, calcium,
and other important nutrients. They also tend to keep their
weight under control, have lower blood cholesterol levels
and fewer absences from school, and make fewer trips to
the school nurse with stomach complaints related to
hunger.
