www.stcharles.k12.la.us
I want to begin by expressing my gratitude to all of you for your support of our school, the students, and staff. You are the most important “teacher” in your child’s life and without you as a part of our team, we would not be as successful as we are. As we approach spring, many exciting things will be taking place at Norco Elementary School. Our stu-dents and teachers have been working very hard at meeting and exceeding our district’s grade level expecta-tions. At Parent/Teacher conferences we had a 95% participation and students received their 2nd nine weeks report card. The reports cards should have given you a pretty good indication of how your child is currently performing in relation to our standards. Although many students have shown dramatic progress, some students will continue to need support in order to be successful. Please remain in close contact with your child’s teacher, review progress folders and reports and provide additional assistance at home, if nec-essary. Third grade through fifth grade parents can check Parent Portal. Parent Portal is a 24 hour access to your child’s grades, lists of assessments, grade averages and attendance through your home computer. If you don’t have a home computer, you can always use the one in the Title 1 Family Center. At school, we will continue to support your child through specific classroom intervention’s as well as ad-ditional interventions through intervention specialists. Lastly, I want to stress the importance of regular attendance. If your child is not here, they cannot learn at their optimum level. As a school, our goal is to continue to build upon the foundational blocks of the St. Charles Parish Public School’s Learner Goals. They are: *A Knowledgeable, Competent Person, *A Critical Thinker, *A Collabo-rative Contributor , *An Involved Citizen, *A Creative Producer, *A Self-Directed Achiever, and *An Effec-tive Communicator. Through you and our school, “Where Lifelong Learners Excel”, we can continue to cement these blocks. Sincerely, Becky Weber, Principal *Always refer to the calendar included for the most updated events.

**DOTD Set To Start Luling Bridge Replacement and Repairs Project** The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development will soon begin a $24.5 million project to replace the
Interstate 310/Luling (Hale Boggs) Bridge deck and perform repairs. Lane and ramp closures will be required during
construction.
Beginning on Jan. 31 at 8 p.m., planned closures include one lane on southbound (eastbank to westbank) I-310. The
northbound (westbank to eastbank) lanes will remain open. In mid-February 2016, a full closure of the northbound span
of the bridge – including a traffic switch of the northbound travel lanes to the southbound span – will take place. In mid
to late-April, a full closure of the southbound (eastbank to westbank) span of bridge will take place. One side will re-
main open at all times with 2-way traffic during this period.
This project is scheduled to last through summer time. Please plan for potential delays when travelling to your destina-
tion by leaving early and/or taking alternate routes.

Advance ED Surveys
“Two-way communication and feedback are important
to our schools and the district as we identify opportu-
nities to improve. Parents will be randomly selected to
participate in a survey on Monday, February 22 as
one method of gaining feedback from all stake-
holders. The survey results will enable our school
leaders to identify areas of improvement focused on
student achievement and school and district effec-
tiveness.
If you receive one of these surveys, please complete
the survey and return to school via your child. Please
contact Regina McMillan at the School Board Office
at 985-785-7227 with any questions you may have.

At the prekindergarten level most children are practicing
how to read. There are certain concepts of print that pre-
school children should know. Here are a few skills you
can work on with your child when reading books at home.
Have your child:
* Point to the front cover, back cover and the title of the
book.
*Talk about the author (who writes the words) and the il-
lustrator (who draws the pictures).
* Practice finding the picture on the page and then finding
the words on the page.
* Practice finding where you start to read on each page and
where you stop.
* Practice moving your finger under each word and across
the page from left to right. Return your finger to the next
line of text.
* Explain that words are talk written down on paper.
Words have meaning.
* Explain that letters grouped together make words (c-a-t;
h-o-t; p-a-n).
* Find words around your house for your child to practice
reading (cereal boxes, milk carton, can goods, etc).
*Practice the pattern of print: word/space/word/space
(pointing as you say the pattern).
It’s amazing to see how far the students have come thus far in the school year. The progress they have made is truly incredible. We are in one of the most important quarters of the year. In Reading, we are still working on decoding one and two syllable words. Continue to read nightly with your child. During and after read-ing, ask your child comprehension questions about fictional text they are reading. Also, try to compare and contrast the adventures and ex-periences of characters in the stories they are reading. We are excited to begin using fairy tales to address this skill in class. In Writing, students are still creating informational pieces that name their topic, supplies supporting de-tails and provide some sense of closure. In Math, We will be continuing to build number sense and fluency with numbers by understand-ing place and adding and subtracting using models and drawings.
Let the Good Times Roll! As we move into Feb-
ruary we are rolling along with our learning and
having a great time. In math we are continuing
to work with number bonds and also beginning
to work on solving simple addition and subtrac-
tion problems. Please continue to practice these
skills with your student at home.
We now have a lot of our phonics skills in place
and are working on independently reading de-
codable text. It is very important that you prac-
tice reading on a daily basis. The magical read-
ers are a great way to practice reading decod-
able text. To help your student become a fluent
and independent reader it is also important that
you practice your tricky words nightly. The stu-
dents will be assessed on both of these skills
during the third nine weeks.
Second graders are in love with learning!
In Reading, we are exploring informational text to de-
termine the main topic of multiple paragraphs. In ad-
dition, we are identifying details that support the main
topic. Students will have lots of practice in asking and
answering questions to deepen their understanding of
passages. By the end of the month, your eagle will
soar as we construct responses using text evidence.
R.A.C.E. like a rock star reader!
In Math we are getting into shape with Module 6,
which focuses on the foundations of multiplication.
Math geniuses will explore with equal groups and re-
peated addition, as well as the concept of arrays.
During Writers’ Workshop second graders are working
on the features of fictional narratives. Using teacher
and peer feedback, students will be able to compose
engaging narratives in this genre of writing.
We are finishing up with energy in Science, as we ex-
plored different forms of energy, such as light, sound,
and heat. Our studies will continue with history, includ-
ing communities from the past as well as important fig-
ures in American history.
As always, thank you for your support and coopera-
tion. If you have any questions, feel free to contact
your child’s teacher.

Third graders will finish up unit 4 in read-
ing using non-fiction science texts. They will be-
come scientists while asking and answering ques-
tions to deepen their understanding of what they
are reading. The students will also use context
clues to determine the meaning of unknown words.
In writing, they will continue using stimulus
(passages) to compare and contrast.
We will conclude the science lessons for
the third nine weeks before the Mardi Gras break.
The students enjoyed experimenting with the six
simple machines. For the remainder of the third
nine weeks, students will be focusing on the eco-
nomics unit in social studies. We hope you have a
safe and enjoyable carnival holiday!
Our fourth graders have been working hard on a vari-
ety of BIG Ideas. In science, our sensational scientists
just finished a unit on plants and are moving into a
study of earth, moon and sun. We will be discussing
the differences between revolution and rotation, sea-
sons, phases of the moon and eclipses. Make sure to
ask them about our latest read aloud Top Secret. Our
marvelous mathematicians are steadily continuing to
learn about fractions. We are adding them, subtracting
them, and multiplying them. We are also applying
them to real life problem solving. In reading, we are
reading a variety of different types of text to learn
about the same topic … similar to research. Poetry is
also a focus in our unit of study. In writing, we are
sharing our opinions about debates that are “Hot Top-
ics” in our world today.
Happy Mardi Gras! Our mathematicians are learning how to divide fractions and whole numbers. Students will
also be learning how to make measurement conversions. Our readers will begin a novel study of “Woods Run-
ner” by Gary Paulsen. Our authors will be drafting, editing, and publishing their essays which they will cele-
brate and share once finished. After students complete their essays they will be working on writing in re-
sponse to reading using passages that connect to the novel study in reading.
All notes must be given in writing; brought in with the student, e-mailed to:
([email protected] before 2:30 pm each day and by 10:30 a.m. on half days All notes should be on a full sheet of paper, written with a dark color
ink and include your child’s full name, the teacher’s name, and dates of the changes with clear in-structions and your signature. If you e-mail a
dismissal change, please expect a confirmation by e-mail. A bus change form can be obtained
from your child’s teacher, the office, or can be downloaded from our website: (www.stcharles.k12.la.us/norcoelementary).

Norco Elementary Title 1 Family Center
Family & School: Together We Can Make a Difference

Tuesday and Thursday Hours: 8:30am – 3:30pm
Often when you ask people about their work they respond… I’m just a…., I’m only a ….” and you might
have even heard a person say, “I’m only a stay-at-home mom.” Of all the jobs, the job of being a parent is the
most import and yet the hardest job. Parenting provides rewards that will last a lifetime. Not only can you have
a positive impact on your own children’s lives, but also on the lives of other children. You can do this by the
way you live your life.
Children who are raised in homes that have clear rules and consistent consequences are less likely to
participate in risky behavior and more likely to have the self-confidence to say “No.” This will help your child
when confronted by a bully.
Stop Bullying on the Spot
When parents respond quickly and consistently to bulling behavior they send the message that it is not
acceptable. Research shows this response can stop bullying behavior over time. Here are simple steps parents
can take to stop bullying on the spot and keep kids safe.
THINGS TO DO THINGS TO AVOID GET THE FACTS
Intervene immediately. It is OK to
get another adult to help.
Separate the kids involved.
Stay calm. Reassure the kids
involved, including bystanders.
Model respectful behavior when
you intervene.
Don’t ignore it. Don’t think kids
can work it out without adult help.
Don’t immediately try to sort out
the facts.
Don’t force other kids to say
publically what they saw.
Don’t question the children
involved in front of other kids.
Keep all involved children separate.
Get the story from several sources,
both adult and kids.
Listen without blaming.
Don’t call the act “bullying” while
you are trying to understand what
happened.
It may be difficult to get the whole story, especially if multiple students are involved or the bullying involves
social bullying or cyberbullying. Collect all available information.
Helping with Peer Problems
Does your child come home crying that “nobody will play with me” or “everyone laughs at me?” If it only
happens now and then, just listen and reassure her. If it seems to be a chronic problem, take action:
1. Talk to the teacher. She may be able to make
some adjustments in the classroom or talk to
the other kids about their behavior.
2. Help your child fit in. There's no need to spend
a fortune on the latest styles, but if she's being
rejected for something she's willing to
change, help her do so.
3. Minimize negative habits. Some kids get shut
out because they don't bathe frequently
enough, or they pick their nose, or their social
skills are otherwise lacking.
4. Remind your child of his strengths. When a
child knows he's good at something, it's easier
for him to cope when peers say mean things.
5. Teach your child to stand up for herself. Talk
to your kid about different strategies she can
use when classmates tease.
6. Arrange play dates. Children act differently
when they're not part of a large herd. So look
for children who share similar interests with
your child and invite them over.

FRIENDLY REMINDER REGARDING ILLNESS
To help avoid the potential spread of germs among students, please remember to keep your child(ren)
home from school if they have any of the following symptoms:
Fever of 100 or greater. Child should be fever free for 24 hours without the use of medication to re-
turn to school.
Vomiting, diarrhea (especially if it contains blood) or severe abdominal pain. These can be contagious
and the student should be free of these for 24 hours before returning to school.
Respiratory infections are common and frequent. However, if the symptoms are accompanied by fe-
ver, thick/colored nasal discharge, frequent cough or wheeze or if the student is too uncomfortable
to benefit from classroom instruction, they should stay home.
Questionable rashes, especially if there is a recent or current history of fever or the child has uncon-
trollable itching or pain.
Sores are often bacterial infections. Most sores with drainage are easily spread and need to be evalu-
ated by your child’s health care provider. They often require antibiotics. Your child needs a Dr’s
note with clearance to return to school.
Thank you,
Nicole Schulin, RN
School Nurse
