Akin Families,
On Monday, May 8th & on Tuesday, May 9th, our 3rd and 4th grade scholars will be taking the Math and Reading STAAR Test.  Due to the number of teachers who will be helping with this we will not have the Smart Start Lab open in the morning.  Also, all students will be eating lunch in their classrooms so there will not be any guests allowed to come during our normal lunch times.  Akin will resume our regular schedule on Wednesday, May 10th.
 Thank you.

4. Notes from Nurse Melissa
It is that time of year again when we start seeing mosquitos. This also happens to be the best time of year to start fighting those unwanted biters.
Things you can do to help:
Dump standing water Pick up trash
Drain flower pot dishes
Dispose of unused tires or drill holes in them
Drain and refill dog bowls
Unclog gutters
Check for leaks in pipes Wipe around the top of flower pots with a bleach wipe
Many people may have experienced “the stomach bug” at least once in their life. People become infected by eating food or drinking liquids that are contaminated.
Things you can do to prevent the spread of “the stomach bug”:
Wash your hands with soap and water, especially after going to the restroom and changing diapers
Wash produce before preparing or eating them
Cook seafood thoroughly before eating
If you are sick, do not prepare food for others
Clean and disinfect contaminated surfaces
Wash laundry thoroughly
Make sure to wear rubber gloves while handling soiled items and wash your hands after
Finally, lice are a nuisance not a health condition. They do not carry disease but they make parents and students very uncomfortable.
Things you can do to prevent the spread:
Minimize head-to-head contact
Teach your kids the importance of not sharing certain items like
combs and brushes
hair clips and accessories
hats and bike helmets
scarves and coats
towels
headsets and earbuds
Check for lice often and call health a care provider for instructions regarding treatments Please call the school clinic with any health concerns or questions. By working together we can keep our students healthy and in class. A healthy child is a better student.
