The Importance of the Kindergarten Year

1. The first role of the Kindergarten year is to help the child make the transition from the home or other day care to a formal school setting.

2. The child should gradually become more independent and build a feeling of self-confidence.

3. The child will begin a formal academic experience and learn that letters and numbers are symbols that we use to communicate with one another.

4. The child will learn that we teach others how we want to be treated through our own actions.

School Supplies

I will buy the box and its’ contents. They will all be the same and here when needed. At some point if items are in need of being replaced, I will send a note.

Page 25: Welcome to Kindergarten. Keeping In Touch With The School Phone: 384-4371 Fax: 384-7217 E-Mail: swtelem@ohusc.k12.in.usswtelem@ohusc.k12.in.us Web Page:

From the Nurse:Head Lice Facts- Head lice are most

common in children three to 12 years of age, and all socioeconomic groups are affected.

A child with active head lice has likely had the infestation for a month or more by the time it is discovered.

Lice cannot hop or fly; they crawl. The eggs (nits) they lay will not fall out of the hair

The human head louse does not live on animals.

Page 26: Welcome to Kindergarten. Keeping In Touch With The School Phone: 384-4371 Fax: 384-7217 E-Mail: swtelem@ohusc.k12.in.usswtelem@ohusc.k12.in.us Web Page:

Lice can only survive up to 48 hours off of a head.

Transmission in most cases occurs by direct contact with the head of another infested individual. A child with undetected lice sitting in the classroom poses little risk to others.

Indirect spread through contact with personal belongings of an infested individual (combs, brushes, hats) is much less likely, but cannot be excluded.

Page 27: Welcome to Kindergarten. Keeping In Touch With The School Phone: 384-4371 Fax: 384-7217 E-Mail: swtelem@ohusc.k12.in.usswtelem@ohusc.k12.in.us Web Page:

It is probably impossible to totally prevent head lice infestations as young children frequently come into close head-to-head contact with each other.

Children should be taught not to share personal items such as combs, brushes and hats. Adults should be aware of the signs and symptoms of head lice infestation, and affected children should be treated promptly to minimize spread to others.
