News from the Nurse
The Chanhassen Rotary has kindly provided us with new hats and mittens, available for free to families in need. Please contact the nurses' office or send your child to choose what they need for themselves, or other members of the family.
Give Kids A Smile free dental clinic available February 2nd & 3rd. See the MN Dental Association website for more information.
This month we are focusing on wellness throughout the holidays. From sticking to a holiday budget, to eating healthy, and taking time to pause and enjoy some technology-free silence. Another great way to spend this season is by taking time to give back to your community. Researchers found that if you volunteer to help others rather than yourself, you may reap the rewards of a longer life. It's a great way to connect in a meaningful and social way. Here's a great article on the benefits of volunteering as a family.
If you have any questions, please contact Terri Tompkins or Mary Alice Mayerle at 952-556-7819.

Set up Your Campus Portal Account Today
As your child progresses to secondary school, it becomes very important that the district have at least one email address on file per household, as the majority of our teacher, school and district communications are sent using this method.
Families can also change their settings in Infinite Campus to begin receiving text messages. Click here for instructions.
It is also recommended that each parent/guardian have a Campus Portal account, allowing you access to your child's schedule, other student information and to update your contact information. To set up an account, please contact the main office at [email protected] or call 952-556-7800.

Family Breaks
Family breaks are times when students and families can count on no new assignments being due after a school break. The next family break will be December 22 - January 1 for winter break. Our hope is that by clearly setting aside these times, families can make plans accordingly and students can enjoy time away from the stressors of schoolwork.
