Skyblue Mesa Newsletter

 From the Principal’s Desk

We had a great first week of school. The teachers worked hard to have beautiful bulletin boards and centers ready.  Office staff has been working diligently to get class lists and student records in order.  Custodians have the school polished and shining.  Liz McCormack, PTO President, gave a great welcome and her team did a beautiful job with refreshments.  Wendy McHaddad had the Valet Drop Off in full swing. 

Test scores are in and Skyblue Mesa had another great year.  You will be receiving your child’s results at back to school night.

Well, we are off and running and hope you will jump in as partners.  These elementary years will fly by and they are probably the most crucial to your child’s success.  Your involvement can really make the difference.  Hope to see you all at Back to School Night!

 

Debbie Bohn, Principal

 

Office Machine Training

Volunteers cannot use the office machines if they have not been trained.  Wendy Mc Haddad will do the training on Fridays at 8:00am. 

Rashes in the School Setting

If any student comes to school with a rash of any kind, that student will be sent to the Health Office.  The student’s parent/guardian is then called to pick the student up from school.  That student may not return to school without a written note from a physician or other licensed health care practitioner stating the nature of the rash, that the rash is
non-communicable and/or that appropriate treatment has been given, if applicable.  We are trying to protect the health of all students and staff when we exclude students with potential communicable diseases.  No one at the school site can diagnose what a particular rash might be.  Only a licensed medical practitioner can diagnose.  Thank you for understanding.

Volunteer TB Test

The law requires that VOLUNTEERS who have contact with pupils on a regular basis have a valid Mantoux Skin Test (not a chest x-ray) to test for a lack of presence of tuberculosis.  If you are in contact with the children in your child’s classroom (or another classroom) as a part of your volunteer “assignment”, you must submit a negative Mantoux test to our school office for our records. 

 

Individuals with a documented positive skin test must present a certificate from a health provider that they are free of communicable disease at least every four years.  The health provider may or may not choose to use a diagnostic chest

X-ray for people with previously known positive skin tests.

 

Mantoux tests are given locally by First Care on Soledad Canyon Road near Bouquet Junction, or by your physician.  The individual volunteer(s) must cover expense of the test, as the school district cannot cover the cost.

 

No Dogs on Campus

For the safety and health of our students and staff, dogs are not allowed on Skyblue Mesa’s campus, driveway, parking lot, or in front of the school.  This is mandated by the Saugus Union School District. Thank you.
