EVENTS AND NOTICES





A NOTE FROM OUR NURSES TO STUDENTS AND FAMILIES

Know Your Dose

Acetaminophen, often known as Tylenol, is a medication found in over 600 prescription and over the counter medicines. It is often found in cough, cold, allergy medicines, pain relievers and fever reducers. Due to the fact that acetaminophen is found in so many items, it can be easy take more than the daily recommended amount. It is key to always read the label of all medications that you take. Consuming too much acetaminophen can lead to liver damage.







POSTPONED FOR A WEEK
due to icy sidewalks and low temperatures
Wednesday, February 13th. 6:45 to 7:30 AM.








FAMILIES OF 4TH AND 8TH GRADERS
On February 8th, 4th and 8th grades will take the NAEP assessment. The links below will take you to letters that explain the expectations for that measurement.

What is NAEP?
It is a Common Measure of Student Achievement

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is the only assessment that measures what U.S. students know and can do in various subjects across the nation, 

states, and in some urban districts. Also known as The Nation’s Report Card, NAEP has provided important information about how students are performing academically since 1969.








MARK YOUR CALENDAR FOR THE HEALTHY HEARTS FAIR

Preston Randall, Director of Guidance, will be coming to City School to discuss the transition from 8th to 9th grade- talking a little bit about BFA, giving an overview of the paperwork that students and families are required to fill out (academic and elective course selection), and answering any questions. For students and families who are unable to attend- no fear! We will be handing out and going over paperwork in classes, as well. Everyone will get what they need.

Tuesday, February 12th
