Summer Safety
As the year draws to a close, it’s a good
opportunity to remind students about steps they can take to
stay safe at home during the summer. We regularly review
safety information with our students, and we ask parents to
also discuss the following safety tips with your children:
-
Always walk
or bike with other students or a parent and be alert to
what is happening and who is around you.
-
Keep your distance
from strangers. Never accept treats or rides from a
stranger, even if the person says a parent sent them.
-
Do not go with a
stranger even if they say a parent is hurt or they need
help finding a lost pet. If a stranger approaches you,
scream and run. Find an adult you know and report what
happened immediately.
-
Don’t play in
deserted areas, such as empty playgrounds, parks, or
construction sites.
-
If you think
someone is following you, go where there are other
people. Don’t hide or go home if no one else is there.
-
Never tell someone
you are home alone, whether on the phone or if they come
by the house. Do not open the door if you are home
alone.
Remember to protect
your children from the hot summer sun with sunscreen, UV
protective clothes and minimizing outdoor play time during
the hottest part of the day. Also remind children to stay
hydrated by drinking a minimum of the recommended eight
8-ounce glasses of water a day, especially if they are
involved in summer sports and activities. Don’t forget the
first day of school for the 2010-2011 school year is
Tuesday, Aug. 24th. We look forward to seeing you
then!

Summer Library Hours
This summer, Forest North will be holding
regular Library hours for current students as well as future
Eagles! Come on the following
Tuesdays- 6/8, 6/22, 7/13, 7/27,
and 8/10 from 4:30-6:00 PM. Mrs.
Fournier will be reading Bluebonnet books for 3rd-5th grade
students to get a head start on next year. Books read to
students during library night will count toward their voting
total. Kids that read 5 or more Bluebonnet Books during the
year will attend the voting party in the spring. Last
spring, we had snacks, bingo and played on a Nintendo Wii at
the voting party! Students can also use library computers
for games and fun learning websites like Pebble Go. Come
check out books, play games, and hang out with a good book.
Hope to see you there!
