Anaphylaxis Management Policy Anaphylaxis is a severe, rapidly progressive allergic reaction that is potentially life threatening. The most common allergens in school-aged children are peanuts, eggs, tree nuts (e.g. cashews), cow’s milk, fish and shellfish, wheat, soy, sesame and certain insect stings (particularly bee stings). The key to prevention of anaphylaxis in schools is knowledge of the student who has been diagnosed as at risk, awareness of allergens, and prevention of exposure to those allergens. Partnerships between schools and parents/guardians are important in helping the student avoid exposure. Adrenaline given through an adrenaline autoinjector (such as an EpiPen®) into the muscle of the outer mid thigh is the most effective first aid treatment for anaphylaxis. Purpose

To provide, as far as practicable, a safe and supportive environment in which students at risk of anaphylaxis can participate equally in all aspects of the student’s schooling.

To raise awareness about anaphylaxis and the school’s anaphylaxis management policy/guidelines in the school community.

To engage with parents/guardians of each student at risk of anaphylaxis in assessing risks, developing risk minimization strategies for the student.

To ensure that staff have knowledge about allergies, anaphylaxis and the school’s guidelines and procedures in responding to an anaphylactic reaction.

Anaphylaxis Care Plans The Director will ensure that an Anaphylaxis Care Plan is developed in consultation with the student’s parents/guardians, for any student who has been diagnosed by a medical practitioner as being at risk of anaphylaxis. The Anaphylaxis Health Care Plan will be in place before their first day of school. The student’s Anaphylaxis Care Plan will be reviewed, in consultation with the student’s parents/guardians:

• annually, and as applicable, • if the student’s condition changes, • immediately after the student has an anaphylactic reaction.

It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to:

• inform the school immediately if their child’s medical condition changes Staff training and Emergency Response Teachers and other school staff who have contact with the student at risk of anaphylaxis, will undertake training in anaphylaxis management including how to respond in an emergency. At other times while the student is under the care or supervision of the school, including field trips the parent in conjunction with the teacher must ensure that there is a supervising adult present who has training and knows how to recognize, prevent and treat anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis Health Care Plan will be followed when responding to an anaphylactic reaction.

Asthma Management Policy Because asthma is one of the most common chronic childhood illnesses and a major cause of student absences, it is important for the Carden School of Fresno to adopt a comprehensive approach to addressing asthma.

Purpose To provide, as far as practicable, a safe and supportive environment in which students with

asthma can participate equally in all aspects of the student’s schooling. To raise awareness about asthma and the school’s asthma management policy/guidelines in

the school community. To engage with parents/guardians of each student with asthma in developing risk

minimization strategies for the student. To ensure that staff have knowledge about asthma and the school’s guidelines and procedures

in responding to an asthma attack. Asthma Action Plans The Director will ensure that an Asthma Action Plan is developed in consultation with the student’s parents/guardians, for any student who has been diagnosed with asthma by a medical practitioner. The Asthma Action Plan will be in place before their first day of school. The student’s Asthma Action Plan will be reviewed, in consultation with the student’s parents/guardians:

• annually, and as applicable, • if the student’s condition changes, • immediately after the student has a severe episode

It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to:

• inform the school immediately if their child’s medical condition changes Staff training and Emergency Response Teachers and other school staff who have contact with a student with asthma, will undertake training in how to respond in an emergency. At other times while the student is under the care or supervision of the school, including field trips the parent in conjunction with the teacher must ensure that there is a supervising adult present who has training and knows how to recognize, prevent and treat asthma. The Asthma Quick Relief & Emergency Plan will be followed when responding to an asthma attack.

Bienvenue à la classe de français.

Welcome to the French class.

Dear 3rd graders,

C’est la rentrée des classes! It is back to school time! I am very excited to be part of your educational career, I will do my best to teach you; however, I expect you will do your best to learn. To help you with organization, I require that you come to class prepared with the following items:

1. 1 notebook (3 subjects-wirebound-college ruled) to be used solely for French

2. sturdy three-ring binder (1”to 1”1/2) to be used solely for French (un classeur). I prefer the one with a clear plastic cover in which we can insert a cover page.

3. Filler paper for the binder, wide or college ruled; about 50 sheets (des feuilles

de papier)

4. 5 index divider sheets (5 feuilles intercalaires)

5. 1 pencil case (une trousse) to fit in the binder with:

6. 2 sharpened pencils (deux crayons taillés)

7. 1 eraser (une gomme)

8. 1 zippered pouch to hold the flashcards

9. And finally : a smile and a positive attitude (un sourire et une attitude positive) The French Binder

Beginning in third grade, students are required to have a French binder. It is to be used solely for French. To assist students in their organization, the binder is divided in five sections. Please ensure that your child has the required materials and that the tab dividers are labeled in French as follows:

5 index divider sheets (5 feuilles intercalaires) neatly labeled in French as follows:

o Cahier Workbook: written activities from Alex and Zoé workbook,

crossword puzzles, word search. o Vocabulaire Vocabulary: words and expressions you will learn;

blue pages for reference

o Grammaire Grammar: how the language is put together, written exercises on parts of speech, verb conjugation; yellow pages for reference

o Culture Culture: BD ( cartoon strips from textbook), songs, poems, traditions, holidays, famous places and people, etc…

o Mon Cahier de vie Life notebook ( journal): about yourself In addition, a 3 holed zippered pouch is required for the storing of flashcards. It is the students' responsibility to take the French binder home to study and do the homework, and to bring it back for every French class. Unless noted, the content of the binder must remain in it.

Homework The homework policy recommends our teachers to not give additional assignments outside of the classroom. However, I believe it will be in the best interest for all the students to have a few study guide assignments briefly before the test to ensure the best possible results. The take-home study guides will consist of topics that are strictly relevant to the upcoming test, which will consist of vocabulary. Absent students will be given time to receive the study guides through e-mail.

Students are required to keep a green homework sheet (Mes Devoirs de Français) in their binder. They record the homework and its due date in class. This green paper provides a reminder for the student and a means of communication between the French teacher and the parents. In addition, if a student has not been productive during class time, I will assign the class written work to be completed as homework. I will write a note in the section provided stating why the child has extra homework.

Absences Most of the time, the learning taking place in class cannot be made up. Although I will do my best to help the student upon his/her return, excessive absences will more likely slow down the child’s progress and may lower his/her confidence.

Classroom rules Prompt - Préparé – Poli - Productif

I expect the students to be respectful and observe the classroom and school rules during the French lessons. Failure to do so will result in a verbal warning for the first violation. The student can either adjust his/her behavior and productivity or lose 2 participation points for the day for subsequent violations. I will contact the parents via e-mail, note or phone call on the third infraction.

Forgetting to bring the binder to class will lower the participation grade for that day by 10%. Grading Your child will receive a participation grade reflecting his/her active involvement in the lesson and in the classroom. Participation 40% Written activities 25%

Tests/ Quizzes 30% Homework 5%

New Students with no French Experience

On occasion, a new student joins a class of Carden students who have learned some elements of French in the previous years. I want to you to know that I will do my best to reassure that student and help him/her into integrate our group. Progress is evaluated at the individual level.

Parental Support

An important key to success is a positive attitude in the home toward the language and the program. If your child is eager to speak French at home, offer encouragement, but never pressure him/her to do so. Some students are very shy to express themselves in French outside the classroom, especially to their family members. You can support your child by showing interest in his/her language experience. Have him/ her show you his/her binder. Play games with the flashcards. You can reinforce and enrich your child’s experience in French by encouraging your child to find signs of French language and culture in his/her surroundings, labeling objects in the home, reading bilingual books, listening to French children’s tapes.

In conclusion, I will teach and value your child. I will be available to you, the parents, in order to discuss your child's progress or any problems that we might have. Please leave a message with the office should you have any questions. I will return your call as soon as possible. We have a common interest: your child. Let's support one another so he/she can grow as an individual and become a productive member of the world community. May our children become lifelong French language learners. Sincerely,

Madame Vang

What does the Parent Club do with the monies raised? The funds are used for many things. Parent Club sponsors many of the school’s social events, provides small grants for teachers to enhance their curriculum, provides funds for educational presentations, buys supplies requested by the teachers for their classrooms, and/or purchases items that benefit the whole school. Last year, Parent Club purchased science equipment, photography equipment, middle school planners, new laptops for our teachers and staff, new signage for our school, assisted with funds for Destination Imagination, and made repairs to the playgrounds and long jump pit.

Two of our most popular fundraisers are Bake Sale and Pizza Friday. On Wednesday mornings the children purchase snacks supplied each week by the parents of a different classroom(s). On Fridays, pizza is delivered to each child according to their order. If you wish to have your child participate in these activities, please read and fill out each order form.

The Parent Club meets the first Thursday of each month at 8:10 a.m. in the school library. Everyone is welcome! Come share your ideas. If you are unable to make the meetings and you would like to share a great idea, talent, or skill please contact the Parent Club President. There are many ways to be involved and to fulfill your mandatory volunteer hours. For a complete list of these activities and their descriptions, the services needed, and dates/times, please go to the volunteer link located on the Carden website. Remember, if you have a child enrolled at Carden School of Fresno, you are a member!

Thank You,

Carden Parent Club
