Casserole
Project 2019
Once again, we will be making casseroles to help feed the homeless. Last year TEMS students, faculty and their families
made a record 713 casseroles that were delivered to soup kitchens and shelters from Philadelphia to lower Chester County.
Our efforts were greatly appreciated since many freezers had been depleted over the holidays. We will be collecting FROZEN casseroles on
January 22, 2019.
This Year the Police Dept. will be helping to direct traffic to get everyone in and out of the area efficiently. We strongly recommend carpooling children and casseroles the morning of the 22nd!

The Tredyffrin/Easttown School Board cordially invites the community to an "Open House" on Thursday, January 24 in the lobby of Conestoga High School, 200 Irish Road, Berwyn, PA. Come anytime between 6 pm - 8 pm to review the proposed plans to expand Conestoga High School. Learn about the School District's plan to support the changing needs of the educational program due to increasing student enrollment. This open house is an opportunity to give feedback prior to the Conestoga High School Expansion Project presentation at the January 28 School Board meeting.Light refreshments will be served.
The District has an ongoing goal of ensuring that it's facilities are adequate to deliver both current programs and forecasted new programs for District students. As a result of increasing student enrollment, the District has been studying the degree to which the current Conestoga High school facility will continue to be sufficient for the needs of the educational program now and in the future.
The Conestoga High School expansion project will be discussed at School Board Education, Facilities and Finance Committee meetings, as well as by the full Board at
regular meetings
throughout the school year. There will be multiple opportunities for public input on the project at these public meetings.

IMPORTANT Information from the School Nurse:
REMINDER:
ALL 6
th grade physical exams & 7
th grade dental exams returned to the nurse ASAP. TY!
---------------------------------------------------
Lice can happen to anyone. Personal hygiene & home cleanliness has nothing to do with who gets head lice. It is typically seen in kids due frequent head to head contact. Lice do not carry any diseases. The nurse would appreciate being informed if your student has lice in order to track if there are multiple cases. The nurse will keep student names confidential.
Signs & symptoms:
Your student may start itching their head, state that they feel like something is moving in their hair or complain about itching or irritation of the skin on the back of their neck below the hair line.
What am I looking for?
Parents are encouraged to check their student's hair periodically and also, if their student is symptomatic. Nits (lice eggs) look like sesame seeds but are smaller. They stick to shafts of hair and are unable to be easily removed from the strand of hair. Live lice are brown in color, tiny & move very fast.
What should I do if I find lice (live or nits) on my student's head?
Treatment should be started immediately. There are multiple products that can be purchased from a local pharmacy as well as non-toxic options found on the internet. We recommend speaking with your pediatrician to discuss the best treatment option for your student. Daily combing of each section of hair for a minimum of a week to rid of all nits is the best way to ensure complete eradication of lice.
Fact about lice:
They cannot jump, fly or hop to another person. Their goal is to stay on the head where they presently live & to multiply. They cannot live without a human host. If even one nit remains on the head, lice can continue to hatch. Lice do not like the scent of tea tree oil. There are multiple hair care products on the market with tea tree oil in them that can be useful in repelling lice. Tea tree oil can be purchased and added to current shampoos & conditioners.
Feel free to contact the nurse if you have any questions.
REMINDER!
all student medications, including over the counter medications,
MUST be brought into the school nurse BY A PARENT. All medications must include a signed doctor's order.
Unfortunately, we can't make exceptions since this is Pennsylvania law. Students are not to carry any medications other than an Epi pen, inhalers, or medications for diabetes when there is a self-carry order on file in the nurse's office. If medications are sent into school with a student, a parent will be required to come pick up the medication and it will not be administered by the nurse. Unfortunately, we can't accept any medications without a written order from the doctor. Please contact Leigh Ann Coary, RN at 610-240-1210 with any further questions. Thank you for your support and understanding as we look to create the safest possible environment for all students!
