A Note from the Nurse Casey Wolves, have a safe and healthy summer! Swimming Safety-make sure you are swimming under supervision Sun Protection-wear at least SPF 30 sunscreen when you are outside. Don't forget a hat and sunglasses! Bug bites-wear insect repellent, but make sure you wash it off once you are done being outside. Longsleeved, light weight and light colored clothes help also. Stay hydrated-drink water throughout the day to prevent dehydration and sluggishness Bicycle safety-know the rules of the road and make sure you wear a helmet Hot cars-never stay in a closed up car. Even for a few minutes. See you next school year!

Casey Pledge – No Bullying! “I am a Casey Wolf. This means that I will always be nice to others at school and will never bully them. I will use kind words and agree to keep my hands and feet to myself. I will always remember that everyone deserves respect.” Nasty Looks and a Nasty Tone of Voice Maybe you know a kid who’s mastered the art of shooting looks that kill. Maybe this "kid" is really an adult who’s maturity-challenged. Here are some tips: Resist the urge to act like a child.
Are you like me? Do you ever find yourself tempted to reciprocate to your child’s snotty attitude with a mucus-like one of your own?
Resist this temptation and do your best to remain calm.
Give honest feedback while making the problem belong to your child.
Kids need to get honest feedback about how they come across to others…and the impact this is likely to have on their OWN lives. With a strong dose of empathy, experiment with saying: When you stick your tongue out and say those nasty things, you're really no fun to be around. I will always love you, but few others will if you continue to act that way. That would be a pretty lonely life.
Take good care of yourself by setting and enforcing healthy limits.
Becoming a doormat only teaches your child to treat others like doormats. Examples of healthy limits include: I play with kids who talk nicely. I cook dinner for people who express thankfulness rather than complaining about what I serve. Feel free to join us when you can act sweet. I enjoy providing privileges to kids who talk and act nicely. The Strength of the Wolf is the Pack… The Strength of the Pack is the Wolf.

Also, set firm limits over television and video game use.
Most television content glorifies nasty, sarcastic attitudes. Too much time spent interacting with video games makes it tougher for kids to display patience and grace with real-life people.
Nasty looks and nasty comments aren’t just annoying…they’re hurtful to those who deliver them. That’s why you shouldn’t feel guilty for taking a firm and loving approach to the problem. Thanks for reading!

Help us earn money for our school! FROM THE OFFICE * If you wish to have a transportation message relayed to your child, please contact the school prior to 1330. Often students are in specials, away from the building, etc., and it is difficult at best to get these messages to the students. Please plan appropriately. We ask for advance notice to better assist you in this process. *ALL Students (K-8th) tardy to school are required to have a parent or guardian escort them into the building and sign in at the main office. *If contact information changes (i.e., telephone number, email address, emergency contact) please notify the main office immediately of the change. If you are going out of town and you leave your child with a guardian, please notify the main office, so we may verify that the person has permission to pick up your child from school or from the bus.
