Third Grade Teacher Jennifer Sutton along with Harris Center Naturalist Expert and Teacher, Susie Spikol have hosted a morning walking club for students at Pierce School! In a community partnership with our friends from the Harris Center, students, staff and families are welcome to join us for a brief walk in the woods to start our day in a calming way – outdoors! ‘Tis the season to smell earthy scents such as mushrooms, enjoy the sounds of a waterfall and hear the wind gently blowing falling leaves through the air – what a wonderful way to start the day! The walks have been very successful and we are even collecting data to show evidence that starting in nature helps our body and mind prepare for the learning day ahead – look for more information soon! We look forward to a few more walks before the snow flies. Come join us, the last two are on 10/25 and 11/1.

Pierce's black bears had a great time with Cornucopia this week working in the gardens. They harvested a large amount of carrots and purple beans. They even got to enjoy some summer squash and cherry tomatoes. More importantly, they were eager and willing to jump back into the gardens after having a long summer break, sharing their observations as they went.
Next week they will be exploring the different kinds of garden bugs. We can't wait to see what kinds of bugs live in our garden beds!

‘Tis the Season for Sniffles and Tissues … Guidelines for Keeping Sick Children Home
School attendance is important, however, your child may need to stay home because he/she is too sick to be comfortable to learn at school, and/or he/she might spread a contagious illness to the other students. Students should come to school able to participate in all school activities, and should not be tired and listless. Below are some guidelines as to when to keep your child home from school.
Colds
Children with a new cough or severe cold symptoms such as sneezing, congestion and/or thick or constant nasal drainage should stay home. Minor cold symptoms such as mild stuffiness and clear nasal discharge are OK to be in school as long as your child feels well enough to participate.
Fever
Children with a temperature of 100 degrees or higher must stay home from school. Your child may return to school after he/she is fever-free for a minimum of 24 hours – without the use of fever-reducing medicine. Fever (temperature of 100 degrees or higher) is a normal response by the body to fight off an infection. It is also an indication that your child could be contagious. Often, temperatures are lower in the morning and rise during the day. Giving your child acetaminophen or ibuprofen will reduce the temperature but will not prevent him/her from passing the illness to their classmates.
Nausea/Vomiting/Diarrhea
Your child should stay home from school if any of these illnesses have occurred within the last 24 hours.
Returning Students to School: “The 24 Hour Rule/Guideline”
Students may return to school after 24 hours on antibiotics, when their temperature has been less than 100 degrees for 24 hours, and/or no vomiting or diarrhea for 24 hours. It is important that the school knows how to reach parents or a designated emergency contact person during the day, particularly if a child has been sick.
Calling the school when your child is home sick.
Please remember to call your child’s school whenever your child will be absent. Messages may be left anytime during non-school hours or sign in to Pick Up Patrol. Please give the actual reason for the absence such as fever, sore throat, headache, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea, so that we may keep track of “what’s going around”. Sick children will be sent home from school. The School Nurse may require a note from your Healthcare Provider before returning to school. Also, please note that children who are sick and stay home from school are not allowed to attend any school functions on that day.
Thank you,
Nurse Mellon
