We are thrilled to announce that construction on our new playground covered structure will officially begin next week! This project is a wonderful addition to our campus and will provide our students with a shaded, year-round space for play and outdoor learning. Work is scheduled to continue through the end of the summer.
Safety Reminder With construction crews and equipment on-site, we ask for your extra cooperation and patience. Please be mindful of new signage and work zones during drop-off and pick-up to ensure the safety of our students, staff, and visitors.
Thank you for your support as we improve our school grounds!
How You Can Help We kindly ask our community members, volunteers and visitors to partner with us in keeping our campus secure. If you are on school grounds, please ensure that: - All gates are firmly closed and locked immediately after you pass through them.
- You continue to check in at the main office before entering the gated areas.
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our Charlemagne community safe! |

This month, our SEL time is focused on the critical competencies of Kindness and Empathy. These are foundational skills that help students succeed both inside and outside the classroom.
At-Home Connection Activities: - Create a "Calm Corner": Talk about what helps you feel better when your emotions feel "big." Together, find a dedicated spot in the house and fill it with things like soft pillows, fidget toys, or books to create a safe space for regulation.
- Memory Storytelling: Take turns sharing a favorite memory. Describe not just what happened, but exactly how it made you feel (happy, proud, peaceful) to help build emotional vocabulary.
- Five-Senses Nature Walk: Head outside for a "Sensory Walk." Pick one sense—like hearing—and see how many different sounds you can identify. This helps everyone stay present and grounded.
- Add: The "High/Low" Dinner Ritual: At the end of the day, have everyone share one "high" point (a win) and one "low" point (a challenge). This normalizes talking about the ups and downs of life.

Flu season is upon us, and we have had a growing number of students out sick from school. While attendance is certainly important, our biggest concern is that students are safe and healthy while at school. Here are some reminders and guidelines for what to do when your child is sick:
DO NOT send your child to school until they have been fever-free (under 100 degrees) for 24 hours without any fever-reducing medication (e.g., Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Advil). Aspirin should not be given for fever due to viruses in order to prevent a complication called Reye’s syndrome. In general, if your child has a cough lasting 7 days, seek medical care.
Please keep your child home if you see any of these signs: - Fever greater than 100.0° F
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Stiff neck or headache with fever
- Any rash with or without fever
- Unusual behavior change, such as irritability and/or lethargy
- Jaundice (yellow coloring of skin or eyes)
- Skin lesions that are “weepy” (fluid or pus-filled)
- Colored drainage from eyes
- Brown/green drainage from nose with fever
- Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath; serious, sustained cough
Your child should not return to school until 24 hours after their last episode of fever, vomiting or diarrhea. If possible, consider keeping your student home for an extra day to fully recover. If your student has a chronic condition that is impacting attendance, please contact your school nurse. Simple measures can often stop the spread of common illnesses, including: - Repeated Cleaning: Clean frequently touched surfaces (doorknobs, changing tables, toys, equipment, etc.) using a bleach/water solution (1/2 cup bleach to 1 gallon water)
- Handwashing: Wash hands frequently, especially after diaper changes, toilet use, and prior to eating.
- Vaccination: Flu vaccines are available and can be effective in preventing or decreasing the severity of illness
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Lane County Health Department Communicable Disease Control Program at 541-682-4041. |
