7 APRIL BAND NEWS....Mrs. Prigelmiller Band students have been working to create clear tone while recognizing and fingering notes quickly. Our Spring concert music uses more complex rhythms, faster tempos, a variety of articulations and higher and lower notes. Our Spring Concert is scheduled for Tuesday, May 20th. Commitment letters will be coming home soon. Please encourage thoughtful home practice daily so your child can master the skills in our more challenging songs. MUSIC is SOUND Learning!

8 News from the Health Room Parents: If you have received a vision or hearing notification of failure letter, please make an appointment to have your child s vision and/or hearing evaluated. After the report (back of notification letter) is completed and signed by your child s physician, it should be returned to the Health Room. A phone call to the Health Room letting us know that you have followed up on this matter will also suffice. With early detection and intervention, our children are able to achieve more, and better succeed in the classroom. Suzanne Barnhouse, R.N. Kim Carter, C.N.A., H.A.

15 Socializing Online Social networking sites, chat rooms, virtual worlds, and blogs are how teens and tweens socialize online. Kids share pictures, videos, thoughts, and plans with friends, others who share their interests, and sometimes, the world at large. Socializing online can help kids connect with friends, and even their family members, but it s important to help your child learn how to navigate these spaces safely. Among the pitfalls that come with online socializing are sharing too much information, or posting pictures, video, or words that can damage a reputation or hurt someone s feelings. Applying real world judgment and sense can help minimize those downsides. What can you do? Remind your kids that online actions can reverberate. The words they write and the images they post have consequences offline. Explain to your kids why it s a good idea to post only information that they are comfortable with others seeing. A broader audience than you may see some of your child s profile or they are comfortable with, even if privacy settings are on. Encourage your child to think about the language they use online, and to think before posting pictures and videos, or altering photos posted by someone else. Employers, college admissions officers, coaches, teachers, and the police may view your child posts. Remind your kids that once they post information online, they can t take it back. Even if they delete the information from a site, they have little control over older versions that may exist on other people s computers and circulate online. Use privacy settings to restrict who can access and post on your child s profile. Some social networking sites, chat rooms, and blogs have strong privacy settings. Talk to your kids about these settings, and your expectations for who should be allowed to view their profile.

16 Socialización en línea Sitios de charlas, redes sociales, mundos virtuales y blogs son como los adolescentes y preadolescentes se socializan en línea. Los niños compartes fotos, videos, pensamientos, y planes con los amigos, otros que comparten sus intereses, y a veces, el mundo en general. Socializarse en línea ayuda a los niños a conectarse con amigos, e incluso sus miembros familiares, pero es importante de ayudarles a aprender como navegar esos lugares de forma segura. Entre los peligros que vienen con la socialización en línea es compartir demasiada información, o publicar fotos, video o palabras que puedan dañar la reputación o dañar los sentimientos de alguien. Aplicando el sentido y el juicio del mundo real puede ayudar a minimizar esas desventajas. qué puede hacer usted? Recuerde a los niños que las acciones en línea pueden reverberantes. Las palabras que ellos escriben y las imágenes que ellos ponen tienen consecuencias fuera de línea. Expliquen a sus hijos de que es buena idea de poner solo cuando se sientan confortables con otras personas viéndolos. Una audiencia general puede ver la información personal de sus hijos incluso cuando el escenario es privado. Anime a su hijo a pesar en el lenguaje que va usar en línea, y de pensar antes de poner fotos y videos, o modificando fotos que otros han puesto. Empleados, administradores de la universidad, compañeros, maestros, y la policía puede ver la información marcada. Recuerden a sus hijos que una vez que pongan la información en línea, no pueden cambiarlo. Incluso si ellos borran la información del lugar, ellos tienen un control sobre versión vieja que pudiera existir en otras computadoras personales y circularlos en línea. Usen privacidad en la ubicación para limitar quien tenga acceso y ponga la información de su hijo. Algunas redes sociales, virtuales, de charlas, y blogs tienen una fuerte ubicación privada. Hablen con sus hijos sobre esta ubicación, y sus expectativas sobre quien puede ver su información personal (profile).
