PRINCIPAL’S
MESSAGE: Oct. 4, 2004 |
The Results Are In!
In my last message I mentioned that the student council campaign
and Election Assembly were a huge success. The students at Hall
have chosen the new student council. I am proud of all of the
candidates for running great campaigns and getting involved in
student government at Hall. The new student council is:
President: Sam
Vice President: Danny
Secretary: Katie
Treasurer: Karl
Activities: Shay & Rachael
Publicity: Lela &
Gina
I look forward to working with the new student council. The
election helped identify the issues that are important to the
school such as school dances and lunchtime activities. I hope
all of the candidates continue to be involved in school-wide
activities.
Playing Safe
The new play structure has been a huge hit with
the kids. Before school and during recess and lunch the kids
flock to the structure to enjoy the range of activities it has
to offer. Physical Education classes have also begun to use the
structure by creating a workout routine where students rotate
through a variety of physical activities.
With the popularity of the structure has come the need for clear
rules and procedures in order to keep students safe. The structure
provides new and unique ways to spin, climb, dangle and hang.
We have made sure we have adult supervision every time the students
are on the play structure. By monitoring its usage we have been
able to generate guidelines and procedures to help keep kids
safe while playing. I will be meeting with homerooms this week
and next week to review these guidelines for the play structure.
By doing this we will be able to ensure that the kids can remain
safe while they play.
PART Training
Last week I spent two days at the Marin County
Office of Education being trained in Professional Assault Response
Training, along with several other Marin administrators. The
training focused on communicating to de-escalate a situation
and how to keep students safe in a crisis. I consider myself
fortunate to work in a school where teachers have high behavioral
expectations for students and where the adults on campus know
the students.

HEALTH ISSUES/STATE MANDATES
Hearing testing at Hall: Friday, Oct. 8
Hearing
testing will be done at Hall on Friday, October 8th.
All 8th graders will be tested
as well as all new students to the district who haven’t
had their hearing tested at the required intervals, 3-year IEPs,
initial assessments, and “concerns.” If
you have any concerns about your child’s hearing, or have
other health issues, please contact me ASAP. If you have recent
hearing test or vision exam records, please give me a copy.
Vision testing will be done soon. Color vision will be done on kindergarten
boys soon.
The State also requires up-to-date immunization
records for all students, and physical
exams on entry
into 1st grade. Since the standard of practice is to get one
on the 5th birthday, please submit that yellow form (Kaiser’s
is white) to me ASAP if you haven’t already done so. The report
to the state is due soon.
I am
at Neil Cummins all day Monday and Tuesday mornings and at
Hall on Friday. Please feel free to contact me with any health
concerns you have regarding your child. It’s a pleasure working
with you and your children.
— Thank you, Sharon Schielein R.N.
