Placer Academy WEEKLY UPDATES

SUMMER,  2021
PAC ORIENTATION:

We can't wait to see everyone at our 2021-2022 orientation!  Students will get their school pictures taken, meet their teacher(s), drop off school supplies, and visit with friends.  Parents will have an opportunity to get fingerprinted for volunteering, enroll students in childcare, and collect important information and documents for the upcoming school year.  
2021-2022 SUPPLY LISTS:
THE LION'S DEN:

We are excited to be able to offer our families an after-school program beginning in the fall and we are still accepting applications. The Lion's Den supplement to our parent/student handbook can be found HERE.  Included in this supplement are the registration form and directions to enroll your child in our after-school program.   
For more information, visit our Lion's Den Page.  
​IMMUNIZATION REMINDER FOR INCOMING 7TH GRADERS:

Students advancing into 7th-grade must meet current immunization requirements. The majority of students will only need a Tdap booster (unless one was already given after their 7th birthday), although some 7th-grade students may need their second varicella (chickenpox) vaccine if they have not already received two. If you have questions about immunization requirements, please see LINK HERE for more information. Students who currently have a personal belief exemption for immunizations will need to meet ALL immunization requirements or ensure that their physician has issued a medical exemption in the CAIR-ME system PRIOR TO the first day of 7th-grade. Medical exemptions issued prior to 2021 are not valid for 7th-grade entry.

If your child is receiving their immunizations over the summer, please bring in an updated immunization record when the office reopens in August (beginning the week of August 2). Students will need to meet all immunization requirements for 7th grade prior to the first day of school (August 24) or students will not be allowed to attend class. Please contact the front office or email me with any additional questions.
KINDERGARTEN ROUND UP:

All of our kindergarten students will be scheduled for our annual kindergarten round up.  During this 30 minute assessment, we will meet with students to help us determine some baseline skills for planning purposes.  Click HERE to schedule your child's appointment.

FROM THE NURSE:

Students who will need medication on campus are required to have a new medication form on file each school year. If your student will need medication on campus next year, please print the appropriate form for your student or paper forms are available in the office. Medication and completed medication forms for next year may be returned at the beginning of August when the office reopens.  Forms can be found HERE.
SEVEN TIPS TO GET YOUR STUDENT READY FOR KINDERGARTEN:
​
  1. Practice kindergarten skills.  Students should practice writing their name, cutting, tracing, etc.
  2. Practice eating "school lunch" at home.  Students should be able to open all of the packages, Tupperware, etc. on their own.
  3. Set clear bedtimes and morning routines.  Routines make school and life less stressful.
  4. Start phasing out nap time.  Kindergarten students do have a rest time during the day, but it isn't the same as napping at home.
  5. Practice asking for help.  This will help build their confidence for when school actually begins.
  6. Read together.  This helps prepare the students for listening time in the classroom.
  7. Remind your child of their strengths.  Not all students will be good at all things and that is OK!
TK ROUND UP:

TK will also being having a "round up" on Wednesday, August 4.  This is a short 15 minute meet and greet with the teacher.  This will help with students feel a bit more comfortable with their new environment.
