MEASLES

You have undoubtedly seen in the news that there have been outbreaks of measles (rubeola) in many states,

including cases in South Dakota and a case in Minnesota. As per a news release from the North Dakota

Department of Health, 84 cases of measles from 14 states have been reported since the beginning of the year.

These outbreaks are a concern with up to a million children and young teenagers potentially vulnerable to

infection.

Measles is a highly infectious, airborne disease that typically begins with fever, cough, runny nose, and red

eyes and within a few days a red rash appears, usually first in the face and then spreading downward to the

rest of the body. The measles virus can live to up to one hour on a surface or in an airspace where the

infected person coughed or sneezed.

If you believe your son or daughter may have been exposed to the measles, please keep them home and

contact your health care provider and your child’s school. If your child has not been vaccinated for the

measles and is eligible for vaccination, it is urgent and important that you contact your healthcare provider

and have your son or daughter receive the measles vaccination. There are some individuals who are unable

to be vaccinated against the measles, such as young children; immunocompromised children or adults such

as those with leukemia, cancer, HIV; and pregnant women. Therefore being vaccinated helps protect those

individuals that are unable to receive the vaccine.

As per Century Code 23-07-17.1(6),

“When, in the opinion of the health officer, danger of an epidemic exists from any of the

communicable diseases for which immunization is required under this section, the exemptions

from immunization against such disease may not be recognized and children not immunized must

be excluded from an institution listed in subsection 1 until, in the opinion of the health officer, the

danger of the epidemic is over.”

This clearly states any child who is not immunized against measles (usually MMR vaccine) will not be

allowed at school, for that child’s own safety. If a case of measles appears within our school community,

students that have not received the measles vaccine will be sent home (excluded) from school. Please make

sure your child’s immunization records are up-to-date at the school.

Additional information on this topic is available by visiting the health department website at

www.ndhealth.gov.

If you have any questions about this or any other issue in the Dickinson Public Schools, please do not hesitate

to contact me at 456-0002 or through email at [email protected].

Notes from the

Superintendent

Marzo de 2015

SARAMPIÓN

Sin duda han visto en las noticias que se han producido brotes de sarampión (rubéola) en muchos Estados,

incluidos los casos en un caso en Minnesota y Dakota del sur. Según un comunicado de prensa del

Departamento de salud de Dakota del norte, 84 casos de sarampión desde 14 Estados han divulgado desde el

comienzo del año. Estos brotes son una preocupación con hasta 1 millón de niños y adolescentes

potencialmente vulnerables a la infección.

El sarampión es una enfermedad altamente infecciosa, en el aire que típicamente comienza con fiebre, tos,

nariz que moquea y ojos rojos y dentro de unos días aparece una erupción roja, generalmente en la cara y

luego se separa hacia abajo con el resto del cuerpo. El virus del sarampión pueden vivir hasta una hora en

una superficie o en un espacio donde la persona infectada tosía o estornudaba.

Si crees que tu hijo o hija han sido expuesta a sarampión, por favor, mantenerlos en casa y en contacto con

su proveedor de cuidado de la salud y la escuela de su hijo. Si su hijo no ha sido vacunado para sarampión y

es elegible para la vacunación, es urgente e importante que llame a su médico y su hijo o hija recibe la

vacuna contra el sarampión. Hay algunos individuos que son incapaces de ser vacunados contra el

sarampión, como los niños pequeños; inmunocomprometidos niños o adultos tales como aquellos con

leucemia, cáncer, VIH; y las mujeres embarazadas. Por lo tanto ser vacunados ayuda a proteger a aquellos

individuos que son incapaces de recibir la vacuna.

Según el siglo 23-07-17.1(6), el código

"Cuando, en opinión de la oficial de salud, existe peligro de una epidemia de cualquiera de las

enfermedades transmisibles, para lo cual es necesaria la vacunación bajo esta sección, las

exenciones de vacunación contra esa enfermedad pueden no ser reconocidas y niños no

vacunados deben ser excluidos de una institución enumerada en la subsección 1 hasta que, en

opinión de la oficial de salud, el peligro de la epidemia terminó".

Esto claramente no se permitirá ningún niño que no está vacunado contra el sarampión (generalmente la

vacuna MMR) en la escuela, para que la seguridad del niño. Si aparece un caso de sarampión dentro de

nuestra comunidad escolar, los estudiantes que no han recibido la vacuna contra el sarampión se mandaran

(excluidos) de la escuela. Por favor, asegúrese de que los registros de vacunas de sus hijos estén al día en la

escuela.

Información adicional sobre este tema está disponible visitando el sitio web del Departamento de salud en

March 2015

When your middle grader writes a paper, creating a draft is just the beginning. Her work isn’t finished until she’s sure it is clear, flows well, and includes supporting details. Encourage her to fine-tune her writing with these steps.

1. Read out loud Suggest that she read her

paper aloud. Hearing the words spoken can make problems jump out that she otherwise wouldn’t have noticed.

2. Consider the focusTo make sure her essay or report is on

target, your child should consider ques-tions like these:• Is my main idea clearly presented?• Do I have details to support each

argument?• Does my introduction state what my

paper will do?• Does the organization make sense?• Does my ending sum things up?

3. Watch wordingEncourage her to look for wording to

improve. She should highlight problem areas like repeated words or awkward passages. Also, she can circle words to

Geography detective Sleuthing skills can help your child explore geogra-

phy. When a city, state, or country comes up on the news, challenge him to dig for little-known facts about it in books or online. He might be fasci-nated to find, for instance, that Min-nesota’s Mall of America is the size of 78 football fields.

You’ve got mail! Want to boost your middle schooler’s self-confidence? Mail her a thank-you card telling her how proud you are to be her parent. List all the things you want for her in the future. The note will remind her of your love—without embarrassing her.

Touch base with teachers Consider requesting a springtime parent-teacher conference, especially if your tween is struggling in any areas. A face-to-face meeting will give you a chance to share your concerns and get suggestions from teachers. By working together, you can create a plan to support your youngster for the rest of the year.

Worth quoting“I didn’t fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps.” Thomas Edison

Just for fun

Q: Why did the elephant wear green sneakers?

A: Her red ones were in the wash!

Revise and shine

substitute with stronger, more interest-ing, or more precise ones.

4. Vary sentencesRepeating the same sentence length or

structure gets boring. Try this: Have your tween count the words in each sentence of a paragraph. If they’re similar, she could combine or break apart sentences. And this: Let her underline each “The” or “I” that begins a sentence. If there are too many, she can mix things up (change “The general retired after 30 years in the military” to “After 30 years in the mili-tary, the general retired”).

5. Make the changesFinally, she should work on the revi-

sions. And if a section is still not right? Revise it again!

ShortStops

A polished paper Proofreading is an essential last step before turning in a paper. Offer these tips

for spotting errors so your child does his best work—and doesn’t lose points for careless mistakes.

Take a break. The more recently he’s read the piece, the harder it is to find errors. Suggest that your tween wait at least an hour to proofread.

Print it. Looking at words on paper (rather than on a screen) can help him see mistakes more easily. If there’s no printer at home, he might print it at school.

Swap. Have your youngster trade papers with a pal and read once for each area (grammar, punctuation, spelling). Or friends could pass papers around a group, with each person looking for something different.

It’s never okay. Bullying is not acceptable, no matter what. Knowing that it’s not “normal” will make your tween more likely to seek help if needed. Have him think of a few people he could go to (a trusted teacher, an activity advisor, his school counselor).

There’s safety in numbers. Bullies aren’t as likely to pick

on someone with friends, so encourage him to walk with other kids in the hall and sit with people at lunch and on the bus. To build friendships, he might join a club or partner with classmates for projects.

Coming up: Standardized tests

Standardized tests are one important way for schools to know how well they’re teaching students and for students to know how well they’re learning. Encour-age your middle grader to do her best with these suggestions.

● Make the most of in-class review. Many states have adopted new tests that require more critical thinking and prob-lem solving, so it’s important that she understand topics in depth. When teach-ers go over test material, she should pay close attention. If she needs a refresher, she can talk to her teacher and review her notes or textbook.

● Take practice seriously. Being familiar with the test format and types of questions will help her pre-pare. She should work as hard on practice problems and sample tests as she would on the real thing. She’ll exercise skills that will help her on test day, such as analyzing, comparing, and explaining.

Talk about bullying Share this information to help

your middle schooler understand what bullying is—and avoid being a target.

It’s more than physical. Help your tween recognize bullying when it happens by explaining that it’s not just about hurting someone physically. Bullying also includes harming peo-ple emotionally or verbally by spreading gossip and rumors, excluding them, putting them down, and texting harassing messages.

■Q Now that our kids are older, it’s hard to get them to the dinner table, much less keep them there

enjoying conversation with us. What do you suggest?

■A This is a common problem in today’s hectic world. Try sitting down with your calendars, and write in dinnertimes that will work. If possible, be flexible with timing to accommodate work and activ-ity schedules. Then, let your children know

Build responsibility Recently, my friend said she’s having

her seventh grader learn to do practi-cal things like iron his clothes and make his own dental appointments. Her feeling is that her son is “in training” to be an adult—and he should start now.

I had never thought of it that way. But that made sense, so I decided to have my son, Charlie, begin taking on tasks that I usually did for him. For instance, when his bike had a flat tire, I showed him how to pump it up. The next time a tire was low, he did it himself.

Likewise, when it was time to change his sheets, I suggested that he learn to do it. I can’t say he was excited, but after doing it together twice, we added it to his weekly chores. His sheets might not look as neat as when I did it, but I’m glad he has chalked up another life skill—and is becoming more responsible.

Together for dinner that dinner is part of their agenda just as soccer and play practice are.

Once you’re at the table, make it enjoy-able to be there. Keep conversations light, and avoid bringing up unpleasant sub-jects like bad behavior or poor grades. Instead, think of topics to spark fun con-versations, such as reminiscing about favorite childhood toys or asking about

the funniest things that hap-pened that day.

And one last thing: Keep the television off and cell phones in another room so you can focus on what’s important—each other!

Healthy Ideas for Middle and High School Students March 2015

USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer.

Your teenager could easily eat all the calories she needs in a day during just one fast-food meal. Or she can make much better choices, feel and be healthier, and still enjoy a meal out with her friends! Share these strategies for navigating fast-food menus and com-ing out ahead.

Gather informationEncourage your child to look up nutri-

tion information for her favorite fast-food places. Facts can be found online, in apps for individual restaurants, in brochures, or on menu boards. She may experience sticker shock when she sees the calorie and nutrition counts for items she regu-larly orders—and be inspired to find bet-ter options.

Make your own comboKids like combo meals because they

require fewer decisions and look like a good value for the money. But they’re not a good value for your teen’s health.

Going beyond weight Losing weight isn’t the

only reason to celebrate getting healthier. Cheer on your teen for “non-scale victories,” too, like being able to move a bookshelf without help because he has strengthened his arm muscles. Taking the focus off weight loss might encourage your child to stick with his healthy routines.

Red and yellow bell peppers are terrific

sources of vitamin C. Along with oranges, other top vitamin C choices

include papaya, guava, broccoli, cauliflower, strawberries, pineapple, kiwi,

mango, and kale. So when your teen feels a cold com-ing on, adding any of these foods to her diet could help.

Appetite and ADHD medicine If ADHD medications are suppressing your child’s appetite, try to get him to eat a healthy meal or snack before tak-ing his medicine. Also, encourage him to have foods rich in nutrients rather than junk food or liquids that will fill him up. Note: If you’re concerned he’s not eating enough, talk to his doctor about adjusting the dosage.

Just for fun

Q: What has a big mouth yet never speaks?

A: A jar.

Outdoor safety As the weather warms up, your teen or tween is

more likely to head outdoors for workouts. Help him stay safe with these suggestions:

● Make sure he has—and uses—the right equipment. Sturdy, well-fitting sneakers, skates, or cleats are a must. Then, depending on the activity, he might need a helmet, knee and elbow pads, and sunglasses or safety goggles.

● Daytime makes it easier to see where he’s going and for others to see him. If he does exercise after dark, he should wear bright clothing and reflective patches.

● Help your teen map out safe routes for biking or running and find basketball or tennis courts in safe areas.

● Have him carry ID and a phone for emergencies and avoid using headphones in or near traffic.

Did You Know?

Fast food: Better choices FASTTAKES

Suggest that she forget the burger-fries-soda package and use the nutrition information to design healthier meals for herself.

Save itOnce she comes up with her own

choices, she should record them on her phone or in a pocket notebook. That way, when she pulls into a fast-food place on a busy day, she’ll know what she wants, and she won’t be tempted to revert to her old calorie-laden selections. Tip: She could add reminder notes, such as “Hold the sauce” or “Eat only half the bun.”

Satisfy your child’s craving for pizza with these interesting twists.

Pita calzoneSlice a whole-grain pita along its

edge so the toppings can go inside. Stuff with 2 tbsp. salsa, sliced mushrooms, black olive halves, and 1 tbsp. crumbled feta cheese. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes.

Mushroom “crust”Scoop out the inside of

four large portabella mushroom caps. Fill with pizza sauce, shredded moz-zarella cheese, diced onions,

Pizza, please!

Myth #2: Fats All fats are not bad. Satu-

rated fats are indeed not good for your heart, but unsaturated or monounsaturated fats are heart-healthy. Healthy fats are found in plant-based foods like olive oil, avocados, and nuts. Saturated fats are found mostly

in meat and dairy products and in processed foods like margarine.

Myth #3: Chocolate While many people think chocolate causes acne, research

has never proven that link. In reality, cacao (the main ingredi-ent in chocolate) is high in antioxidants and can be good for your skin. But choose dark chocolate—the higher the per-centage of cacao, the more antioxidants it contains.

Nutrition myths busted

There are lots of nutrition myths out there. We debunk three popular ones below.

Myth #1: CarbsLow- or no-carbohydrate diets don’t

work faster and aren’t better for you than other diets. People on low-carb diets might lose weight, but that’s likely because they’re cutting out processed snacks that are high in carbs. In fact, healthy carbs such as fruit and whole grains are part of a balanced diet.

Take it from the pros

Pass on these tips from athletes to encourage your tween or teen to reach her fitness goals.

Warm up, cool down. “Any workout should be sandwiched between a warm-up and a cool-down. Together, they help

prevent injuries and get your body ready for what it’s about to do next. Try walking slowly

for 5–10 min-utes before and after your workout.”

Hydrate right. “The best way to prevent dehydration is to drink plenty of water all day long. Keep a water bottle on hand during exercise as well.”

Work on technique. “Pick a few moves for your sport or a few exercises to work on, and pay close attention to your tech-nique. Watch videos online, and seek advice from your coach, a PE teacher, or a more experienced friend.”

Protein for vegetarians Q: My son wants to become a vegetarian. How do I make sure he gets enough protein?

A: If your son is thinking about going meat-free, it will help if he learns about sources of protein.

Complete proteins are found in animal foods, while incomplete proteins are found in plant foods. To get the benefits of complete proteins—which have the building blocks needed for good health—he can combine two protein-rich plant foods. A good guide is to create dishes from two or more of these categories: grains, legumes, seeds and nuts, and vegetables.

For example, he might have black beans and brown rice, lentil-barley soup, and spinach salad with almonds. Encourage your son to shoot for about 70 grams of pro-tein a day.
