Kidscope News and Notes - January 2009 2

Happy New Year to all! What better way to

launch the New Year than by reading a good

book? I recommend Climbing the Stairs by

Padma Venkatraman. Little has been written

for adolescents about India during World War

II. Ms. Venkatraman, who now lives in Rhode

Island, grew up in India. Drawing on her own

mother’s life, Venkatraman takes the reader

into the complex reality of British-occupied

India in 1941. Vidya, the story’s protagonist,

is expected to be content with an arranged

marriage at 15. This is not what she has in

mind. Her driving desire is to further her

education by going to college, something that

is mostly reserved for young men. Although

blessed with a progressive and highly

educated family, fate will intervene to

threaten Vidya’s dream. BMS students, who

read Climbing the Stairs, will identify with

the characters in this book while discovering a

world that is strikingly different than their

own.

Every year BMS students are invited to take

part in the Rhode Island Children’s and Teen

Book Award. Sponsored by Rhode Island

public and school librarians, these awards

give students the chance to recognize the

book they like most. For a list of the

nominees and a short summary of the books,

go to BMS Library homepage and under

“Literature Links,” click on

Rhode Island Children’s Book Award

Rhode Island Teen Book Award

Stop by the library to see how our volunteer

display-meister, Annette Iacono, has showcased

these books. Students can vote for the Teen Book

Award, the Children’s Book Award, or both. All

votes must be cast by February Break. Each ballot

is automatically considered a raffle ticket. Two

names will be drawn and the winners will receive

a gift certificate to Barrington Books. Please

encourage your students to take part in this

statewide effort.

During these unusually difficult economic times, I

want to acknowledge and thank the PTO for its

tremendous support. I recently attended a

workshop given by Kathleen Odean on “The Best

New Young Adult Books.” This has become an

annual event, and I always leave with a long list of

books I cannot wait to add to the BMS collection.

As many of you know, all district funds are

currently frozen because of the questionable status

of promised state funding. Thanks to our PTO, I

will still be able to buy many of the books our

students should have available to them. When I

spoke to other library media specialists at this

workshop, I was once again reminded of how

special this district is because of the tremendous

support we get from our community. This support

will continue to be extremely important in the

foreseeable future.

Thanks to all of you!

Ask Jazzmine

Dear Jazzmine,

I am an 8th grader and I’m feeling sad. My father is in the construction business and my mother just got laid off from work. I needed a pair of boots and I really wanted Uggs like a lot of the other kids in school have. Instead, my mom got me cheap fake Uggs from Tar-get. I don’t want to wear them and I don’t want to hurt my mom’s feelings. What should I do?

Blue bell

Dear Blue Bell:

Hi! Thanks for writing in. It is very impor-tant that you understand. It’s not the clothes that make the girl. It’s the girl who makes the clothes. Don’t despair, be a trend setter and keep your feet nice and warm in your new boots this winter. Sometimes we can’t always get exactly what we want, it’s a part of life. But we must all learn to be grateful for not only what we have but, who we have. So, give your mom a hug. It sounds like you’re a lucky girl.

Happy Holidays to all the BMS students and their families. Please encourage students to write in with any comments or questions. Also, remember to keep your Shaw’s receipts and turn them in to help our school .

Warmest Regards,

Jazzmine Napolitano

Submit your questions to: Ask Jazzmine at, [email protected]

SEAC News - IEP FormsThe next SEAC meeting will take place on Thursday, January 22 at 7:00 PM in the Bar-rington High School Library. Please join us for our first SEAC meeting of the year and for an important presentation:

Questions about New IEP Forms?

Last year, the Rhode Island Board of Regents for Elementary and Secondary Education ap-proved new special education regulations. One of the changes to emerge from the new regu-lations has been the development of new IEP forms: one form for students 3-14 and one form for students 14-21. The effective date for using the new forms was July 1, 2008. Susan Donovan of the Rhode Island Parent Information Network will be our guest for the evening and will explain the nature and impact of the changes to the IEP forms. For infor-mation please contact either, Lori Vastano, 245-6853, [email protected] or Tracey Rizzuto, 247-7553, [email protected].

• All students in 6th, 7th and 8th grades will be screened for scoliosis during PE classes starting mid January. The no-tice in the Kidscope must be returned for the STUDENT NOT TO BE SCREENED in school. PLEASE RETURN TO THE NURSE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

• GRADE 8 PARENTS - Students missing im-munizations have been notified. These were all due in 7th grade. Parents have been sent notices and called if there is important information missing. This information is needed so that your child’s health record is up to date when it is transferred to the high school. Please forward any information to me as soon as possible.

• GRADE 7 PARENTS - There are many students missing proper documentation for 7th grade physicals and immunizations. The seventh grade physical is a requirement from the Department of Health. The immu-nization requirements include a Tdap boost-er, Hepatitis B vaccines (three doses) and

documentation of the chicken pox vaccine or the disease. Notices have been sent home several times. Please forward this informa-tion as soon as possible.

• GRADE 6 PARENTS - Letters concerning the requirements for the 7th grade physical and immunizations are being mailed home. A school health form is included so that your physician can document a physical and com-plete immunization requirement.

It has recently been brought to my attention that there are students on medication at home that is not documented. Any information brought to my attention is confidential, but it is important that if your child is on routine medication (for example allergy, ADHD and seizure medication,Tegretol, Adderall, Concer-ta, Ritalin, Zyrtec etc.) that this information be included on your child’s health record. Your child’s health record is the document I use in an emergency and is maintained so that I can give appropriate medical personnel the infor-mation.

Important Reminder From the Nurse

The Truth About MRSAMyth: MRSA is a new threat.

Truth: Though MRSA was previously known as being an infection found in ill people in hospitals, it is now showing up in the general, healthy population. This is known as community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA).

Myth: People who have staph bacteria, including MRSA, are a threat to everyone.

Truth: Many people have staph bacteria on their skin normally but have no ill effects. While these people, who are said to be colonized, may pass the bacteria to others, simple self-care measures can prevent a MRSA infection as well as spreading to others.

Myth: MRSA is untreatable by antibiotics.

Truth: While resistant to certain antibiotics, most MRSA infections can be treated successfully using alternative antibiotics and/or having the doctor drain and clean the infected area.

Myth: MRSA is a severe threat.

Truth: Although it does happen on occasion, it is still rare for any staph skin infection to become life threatening in a healthy person.

What isMRSA?MRSA is a particular type of “staph” bacteria that can cause a skin infection in an area of injured skin, such as a cut or scrape.

It can be spread by coming into contact with skin or personal

items of anyone who has MRSA on their skin.

Infected skin is often red, swollen, and painful and may

resemble a pimple, boil, or spider bite, which should prompt

a call to the doctor. If diagnosed with a staph infection,

return to the doctor if it becomes worse or is not improving

with antibiotics.

Preventing MRSABecause MRSA can be passed to others, it is important to follow these prevention tips:

Keep personal items personal! Don’t share towels, sports equipment, razors, clothes, etc.

Keep any wound covered and clean until it has fully healed.

Avoid contact with others’ wounds or bandages.

As a general rule, always maintain good hand-washing habits.

If you have any questions regarding MRSA or a potential staph infection, contact your physician.
