Special Activities and Schedule at a Glance

At our next Rockathon meeting on Wednesday, December 8th we are going to have you sign-up for special activities and make a schedule for taking shifts in the rocking chair. This schedule is not written in stone, but we find it leads to less conflict if you think about what activities you most want to do, and work this out with your team in advance.

Some of the activities, like cooking sessions, have a strict limit for how many kids can participate. If no one from your team wants to do the cooking session, then no one should sign up for the cooking session during our meeting. This way we’ll have more spots for kids that want to do the limited activities.

You are going to have to make some compromises and try to work as a team. If all of you want to participate in the 3-on-3 tournament, someone is going to have to step up and rock instead. On Wednesday we’re going to ask you to work together, sign up for activities, and work out a rocking schedule.

In general, the first half of the night is filled with special activities, while sports tournaments take place after midnight in the gym.

Between now and Wednesday, please think of the activities that you would most want to do:

Cooking Class in FCS (1 per team each session, strict limit)

Session 1: 8:30-9:30

Session 2: 9:30-10:30

IMPORTANT PROCEDURE FOR MEDICAL NEEDS: Don't worry about this until teams are confirmed

1. We will have a nurse at the event.
2. If your child needs to take medication, please read the note below from our school nurse, Jenna Chromiak, as to how this procedure needs to be handled.
3. Please make sure to have medication needs submitted to her prior to winter break, unless your child is put on medication after that time period. Thank you for your cooperation.

As indicated in medication procedures for all students, the following applies:

Medication, both prescribed and over-the-counter, may not be brought to school unless absolutely necessary. If it is crucial for a child to take medication during the event, these guidelines must be followed:

1. Please contact school nurse before winter break, only if your child requires a medication to be administered, in order for proper arrangements to be made.

2. Students are NOT permitted to possess prescription or over-the-counter medication at any time during the school day or at school activities/functions.

3. Students are permitted to carry asthma inhalers or Epi-pens with written authorization from the authorized prescriber, the parent/guardian, and the school nurse.

4. An adult must deliver and pick up the medication.

5. Medications may only be dispensed by nurse.

6. All medication must come to school in the originally prescribed container.

7. A prescriber’s authorization is not required for administration of commonly used over-the-counter medications approved by the school physician. Contact school nurse if you are unsure if your child’s medication is on the approved list.
