The purpose of this awareness month is to promote the importance of eye exams to prevent long term problems. Many kids in school discover that they have trouble reading the writing on the board at school. Good vision is very important for school age children. Trouble with vision can lead to problems like blurred vision, headaches, and feeling tired. As parents you can watch to see if your child rubs his or her eyes lots, has headaches, turns or tilts their head or closes one eye to use one eye more than another, or performs below their potential. Make sure your child reads in good light. It is also important to take breaks from reading, watching TV, playing the computer or video games. Do not let your child sit to close to the TV. Ensure your child is active and eats healthy. Be sure to take your child to the eye doctor for a routine eye exam, especially if you have noticed some of the above mentioned symptoms! Check out www.opto.ca for more information. For a quick, easy and healthier supper try: Barbecued Chicken Burritos Ingredients:
1-2 pound

PARENT STUDENT TEACHER INTERVIEWS Interviews will be held on Monday, November 1 and Wednesday, November 3 from 4:00-6:00 and 7:00-9:00 p.m. Mrs. Heeroma will only be available on Wednesday and Miss Johnson will only be available on Monday from 4:00-5:30 and Wednesday from 4:00-6:00 and 7:00-9:00. Parents of Elementary students are asked to call the school office at 823-4313 and set up an interview time that works for them. High school parents do not have to set up an appointment but can talk to the teachers, as they become available. We ask that you keep high school interviews to 10 minutes per teacher so that all parents have an opportunity to meet with the teacher. Please encourage your son or daughter to come to the interviews with you. Research shows that students who attend interviews with their parents “buy in” to the process more effectively. This helps to make the interviews more productive for the teachers, the parents and the students.
