Unsure, need questions answered???
They are here to help you make your school year a
successful one!
DID
YOU KNOW?????
Did you know
hat if you volunteer to baby-sit during the APPLE classroom and Action Meeting
you get DOUBLE DOUBLE Apple hours hours!!
That’s DOUBLE…
Did you know
that helping out with the Franklin
vision and hearing screenings you earn APPLE Hours?
Did you know
that you can earn hours baby-sitting smaller siblings of parents who are working
in the classroom? This is a great
way to trade off baby-sitting so that you can get into the classroom to help
out!
Did you know
that you need 90 hours per family per year to fulfill your contract?
That breaks down to 2 ½ hours a week, 10 hours a month.
Did you know
that attending events WOULD
NOT give you Apple hours? Only
if you work an event will you receive APPLE Hours.
So plan on helping out with future events!
Did you know
that if two parents* attend the APPLE classroom and Action Meetings you BOTH
get to claim 2 hours? *Grandparents,
Aunts, Uncles, etc that have turned in their paper work qualify as well.
Did you know that ANY volunteer work you do at Franklin counts as APPLE hours??? You can help out with the Spaghetti Feed, School Carnival, ASB Fundraisers, Library helper, Art Walk, Math night etc.
Did you know
that working on a committee usually involves working at home, after hours of
school? This is a great hour maker
for those who can’t get into the classroom during the day!
Did you know
sometimes the teachers will have work you can take home and do.
Just ask!
Getting
Apple Hours is easy so starting collecting them right away!

A friendly
reminder to all that all APPLE hours are due in on the 8th day of
each month. If you have been
working this summer (July - August) those hours are due on September 8th.
The rule of thumb is 10 hours per month September - June to get all 90
hours! That’s 2.5 hours each week.

PEANUT ALLERGY ALERT
Jamal
Al Hafian in Mrs. Jordan’s room has a peanut allergy.
The following information will help you understand the severity of this
allergy.
WHAT IS AN ALLERGY?
An allergy is an abnormal response to a
"normal" substance. The allergic person has an altered immune response
to substances, which would normally not be harmful. Symptoms may vary from
person to person, both in range and severity. Not all reactions are immediate.
Anaphylaxis
is a sudden, severe allergic response that produces breathing difficulties,
collapse and possible death. Symptoms usually occur within
several minutes following contact with the allergen and proceed rapidly.
Anaphylactic reactions tend to be faster and more severe with each exposure to
the allergen.
SIGNS
AND SYMPTOMS
*Initial:
tingling lips and mouth hives flushing of face, body diarrhea itchy eyes, nose,
face wheezing eyes and face swelling anxiousness
vomiting
*Rapidly
progress to: weakness and dizziness throat swelling closed inability to
breathe
loss of consciousness
*Treatment:
treatment must be prompt. You will not have time to wait for the parent or the
ambulance. The child may be unable to self-administer the medication due to the
severity of the symptoms. The staff at Franklin are trained in the use of the
EPIPEN, which is a pre-packaged automatic injector containing adrenaline.

Peanuts can
crop up in many unsuspected foods and settings.
Any foods with vague labels such as "may contain" or
other statements should be treated as containing peanuts. Peanut butter is
commonly used in Oriental, Thai, Mexican, Vegetarian foods/cooking. Do not
purchase any foods from bulk containers.
Do not forget about cross-contamination
of other foods with peanut protein in the kitchen via utensils, jam/jelly jars,
etc. Discourage the child from trading food with friends. If you see this
happening, stop the child and inform the parents.
COMMON
FOODS WITH PEANUTS
Jellybeans, candy corn, mint Oreo cookies, M&M's, chocolate in
general (due to cross contamination), most store bought, processed foods
Please Note: You cannot be responsible for ensuring that the child never eats
something he or she should not eat, or never has an allergic reaction at school
(or at an outing, play date, etc). The parents must count on your help to lessen
the possibility of an allergic reaction and to deal with a reaction if it
occurs.
