Medications at School

8/25/2015

0 Comments

 
The policy of the Omaha Public Schools is not to administer any medication or allow a student to take any medication without a written order from the doctor. No unauthorized medication (Tylenol and cough drops included) shall be administered by the school nurse or by any other school personnel. Both physician and parent/guardian signatures are required. Permission may be sent by fax to Dundee at 402-554-0303. 

The medication must be in a pharmacy labeled container, or in over the counter medications, the original labeled container. There are no exceptions to this policy. This policy is in the family handbook and is reviewed every school year in the newsletter. The safety of your child is our priority.

Peanut/Nut Free Classrooms

8/23/2015

0 Comments

 
All classrooms are designated to be peanut and tree nut free.  Please consider this when sending any treats to school for general consumption. 

Non-edible treats are welcome in place of food. Many of our students have a variety of allergens and it is impossible for teachers to determine that all foods supplied are safe for everyone.

Feel free to contact Nurse Doering if you have any questions or concerns regarding the health needs of your child.

Playing a musical instrument... it's like FIREWORKS!

8/18/2015

0 Comments

 
Parents of fourth through sixth grade students should have already received information about participating in the music programs offered at Dundee.

Playing music does AMAZING things in the brain. 
At the last PTO meeting last year, Strings Instructor Holly Stout showed a brief video demonstrating the benefits.  See it below.

So if you aren't yet convinced, sign up your child and watch (and hear!) the fireworks in your own home.


Contact Holly Stout for more information.

0 Comments

 
DundeePTO.org has lots of features to help keep us all connected and in the loop.  Here's quick rundown of the highlights.

Joining online!
So easy and FREE this year!  Just go to www.DundeePTO.org/join and share your e-mail address with us.  That's it.  Done.  Then you're in the loop and better able to make a difference in your chlid's education.

Text (or e-mail) reminders
You can sign up to get text messages from the PTO.  So when Field Day is rained out (as it was last year!) you'll get a text message letting you know.  You'll get reminders the night before that tomorrow is Picture Day.  Or Pajama Day.  And be sure that you don't get the two confused, sending your poor kid to school in pajamas on picture day.  Click here to sign up.

Calendar Subscriptions
Calendar  subscriptions are a way for you to AUTOMATICALLY see the PTO calendar right with your own personal calendar.  When events are added, or if the start times changes, it will update the event in *your* calendar, without *you* having to do a thing.  You'll always be in the know of those random days off, music programs and the like.  Make your life easier and subscribe today!

Contact Info for just about everyone
There is a way to reach every PTO Board Member, Committee Chair and Dundee Staff from the website.  If you can't find it under our contact us section, just use the search box.  Or use the 'Contact Us' form on the homepage.

Weeding Party 2015 was a success!

8/9/2015

0 Comments

 
Talk about a community coming together to care for what they love!

About 15-20 parents (and their unruly children (; ) came to enjoy the beautiful night, meet new parents, share a cooler, and clean out the flower beds at Dundee.

While there were enough hands to get the job done, the garden committee ALWAYS needs helpers.  Be sure not not miss the next garden party.  It really is fun!

Take a look at the photos and see for yourself what it means to make a difference.  And when it comes to the gardens, it's a difference you can SEE!

If you're unable to make it tonight, don't worry.  You can come any time you want and do YOUR PART in making the school look as best it can.

THANK YOU in advance.
