Dear Resilience Families, We have several updates to share. Please read through to the end, as the first two items need your attention right away. POSSIBLE POISON IVY EXPOSURE (8TH GRADE) A few students in our eighth grade group may have come into contact with poison ivy or an irritant plant behind the school. Please check your child's skin for any rash, redness, or itching, and let the front office know if you notice anything so we can keep track. The area is off limits to students while we have it checked and cleared. SPRAYGROUND TAGS MUST STAY HOME, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY The tags that hang from Sprayground book bags have become a problem on campus. Because they carry some resale value, we have seen tags cut off, bags damaged, and tags stolen, including multiple incidents today alone. This is disrupting the learning environment. If your child's book bag has one of these tags, please remove it and keep it at home. We are enforcing this starting now. NO SCHOOL - Friday, October 9: No school - Friday, October 16: Teacher work day, no school REPORT CARDS Report cards will be available Thursday, October 22. Please be on the lookout.

Students are encouraged to wear costumes as long as they are not using full masks in school and no weapon props. THE NUTCRACKER: THURSDAY, DECEMBER 17 Students will attend an off-campus school performance of The Nutcracker. We leave at 10:00 a.m. and return by regular dismissal. The cost is $10 and is non-refundable. Payments are being accepted now. ST. AUGUSTINE TRIP (DATE COMING SOON) We are planning a full-day trip to St. Augustine by charter bus, most likely in December. Fifty students will be selected to attend, based strongly on behavior and academics. The trip will be $20, which will go toward future student activities. Details will follow once the date and time are confirmed. 8TH GRADE FAMILIES: GRADVENTURE GradVenture will take place in mid-May, with the exact date to come. The cost is $270 and covers everything, including the charter bus and admission to a special Universal Studios event open only to select middle schools. Families tell us every year how memorable it is for their children. We are accepting payments now, and you are welcome to pay over time. Just let Ms. Tracy know the payment is for GradVenture. FREE AI WORKSHOP FOR PARENTS I will be hosting a free workshop on artificial intelligence for parents and adults in our community.

Books-By-Mail
Books-By-Mail is a convenient service that supplies books, audiobooks, and videos to people who cannot travel to the library. Who can get Books-By-Mail? Children and adults in the county who cannot visit a library due to temporary or long-term physical or medical disabilities may qualify for Books-By-Mail. A current library card from one of the member libraries is needed. If you don’t have a card, please call your local library for assistance. How does it work? Materials are sent through the mail in a zippered nylon bag. When the materials are due for return, the patron attaches postage and mails the bag back. The bag may be dropped off at any OCPLC member library to save on return postage. Certain disabilities qualify for federal postage-free return service. Contact your local post office for more information. Which titles will I receive? Visit our online catalog to browse our materials. Email your requests to us or call the telephone number below.
