Each classroom teacher regularly assesses student academic performance and adapts instruction and content to meet the needs of the student. The NCSD identifies and provides appropriate instructional services for students identified as academically talented in mathematics or reading, or for students identified as intellectually gifted. A student is defined as academically talented or intellectually gifted if he or she is able to score at or above the 97th percentile (higher than 97% of the test population) on a standardized norm-referenced test. Additional evidence is also required to show exemplary performance that will support a student’s achievement on a standardized assessment. For further information, contact your student’s classroom teacher, Principal, or visit the TAG web site at www.nclack.k12.or.us then look under the “Students” tab. Notes from the Nurse If you haven’t ready done so, please take the time to get your student’s immunizations up-to-date. The annual state immunization report is due to the Clackamas County Health Department in January. This means that students not current with their immunizations and those with a previous religious exemption that has not been converted to a non- medical exemption will be excluded from school on February 15, 2017 until their immunizations are brought up-to- date. For a detailed listing of immunizations and non-medical exemption instructions, please check the district website (Departments, Nurses, Vaccination Requirements). For immunization clinic information, please call the Clackamas County Health Department at 503-655-8471 or your health care provider’s office. Share time, not the flu virus with your family With the winter season upon us, families and friends often gather in close quarters. All of this can lead to more exposure to germs. So how do you stay flu free? The best protection against the flu is to get a flu shot. But there are other ways to keep you and your family healthy this winter season. Follow these simple steps to stop the spread of germs: ● Wash your hands often with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand rub. ● Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. Germs spread this way. ● Try to avoid close contact with people who are ill. ● Practice good health habits. Get plenty of sleep and exercise, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids and eat healthy. ● Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue away after use. If your child does get the flu, please remember that students must be 24 hours free of fevers above 100.5° without the use of fever-reducing medications before returning to school and all related activities. How do I get a flu shot? Many drug stores, the Clackamas County Health Department and your doctor’s office provide the vaccination. Notas de la Enfermera Si aún no lo ha hecho, por favor tómese el tiempo para tener las vacunas de su hijo al corriente. El informe estatal anual de vacunación se entrega al Departamento de salud del Condado Clackamas en enero. Esto significa que estudiantes que no están al corriente con sus vacunas y aquellos con una exención religiosa anterior que no se ha convertido en una excepción no médica, el 15 de febrero de 2017 serán excluidos de asistir a la escuela hasta que sus vacunas estén al corriente. Para obtener una lista detallada de instrucciones de exención de vacunas o no médica consulte la página del distrito (departamentos, enfermeras, requisitos de vacunación). Para obtener información sobre la clínica de vacunación, llame al Departamento de salud del Condado Clackamas al 503-655-8471 o a la Oficina de su proveedor de atención médica. Comparta tiempo, no el virus de gripa con su familia en esta temporada de días festivos Con la temporada de vacaciones acercándose, la gente viaja, va de compras y se reúne con su familia en lugares cerrados. Todo esto puede conducir a una exposición mayor a los gérmenes. Entonces, ¿cómo se mantiene sin gripa? La mejor protección contra la gripa es vacunarse contra la gripe. Pero hay otras maneras de mantenerlo a usted y su familia saludable esta temporada de vacaciones. Siga estos sencillos pasos para detener la propagación de microbios: ● Lávese las manos frecuentemente con agua y jabón o con un desinfectante para manos a base de alcohol. ● Evite tocarse los ojos, la nariz y la boca. Los microbios se propagan de esta manera. ● Trate de evitar el contacto cercano con personas enfermas. ● Practique buenos hábitos de salud. Duerma lo suficiente y haga ejercicio, controle el estrés, beba muchos líquidos y aliméntese saludablemente. ● Cubra la boca y nariz con un pañuelo desechable cuando tosa o estornude. Tire el pañuelo a la basura después de su uso. Si su hijo contrae la gripa por favor recuerde que los estudiantes deben estar sin fiebre de más de 100.5 ° por 24 horas sin el uso de medicamentos para reducir la fiebre antes de regresar a la escuela y todas las actividades relacionadas. ¿Cómo puedo obtener una vacuna contra la gripe? Muchas farmacias, el Departamento de Salud del Condado Clackamas y el consultorio de su médico proveen la vacunación. Заметки от медсестры Во время школьных каникул, пожалуйста, найдите время и обновите все прививки ваших детей. Годовой отчет штата по прививкам должен поступить в Отдел здравоохранения района Clackamas в январе. Это значит, что ученики, не имеющие последних прививок, будут исключены из школы 15-го февраля 2017 г до тех пор, пока они их не сделают. Для подробного списка прививок обратитесь к страничке на интернете (отделы, медсестры, требования к прививкам). Для информации о клиниках, в которых делают прививки, обратитесь в Отдел здравоохранения района Clackamas по телефону 504-655-8471 или к своему лечащему врачу. Проведите время со своей семьей в эти праздничные дни, но постарайтесь не заразить никого гриппом В преддверии праздников люди путешествуют, совершают покупки и собираются семьями в тесных помещениях.
