Principally Speaking
Dear Parents:
AIMS and SAT 10 will be the week of April 16th-19th. Please have your student at school on time,
well rested, and with a good breakfast. Testing will begin at 8:45 and students arriving at school
after this time will need to sit in the office until the testing session is finished. Please discuss the
importance of these tests with your student. This data is utilized for a variety of purposes including
developing intervention/enrichment opportunities for students. Thank you for your support as we
enter this week.
We are always concerned with student safety at Boulder Creek and would like to remind you about
parent pick up signs. Please remember to display the sign with your child’s name as you drive
through parent pick up. When signs are visible the process goes much quicker because teachers can
call student names instead of waiting for you to pull forward and saying i.e. who has the black car?
Other adults also pick up students with which the staff is unfamiliar so please request a sign for them
as well. Sometimes regular staff are not available so a substitute fills in and don’t know the vehicles
and children like regular staff. Thank you for your cooperation.
Happy Spring, please watch for many upcoming exciting events like the Bulldog "Bone"anza on
April 14th from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Sincerely,
Karen K. Coleman

Academic Night 2012
Academic Night will be held Tuesday, April 24th at Boulder Creek. Academic Night
acknowledges and honors students in grades 4-6 who have achieved and maintained high
academic standing during the first three quarters of the school year. The following are
Academic Night guidelines:
A student must have received no more than one “B” in all subject areas within the first three grading
periods. All other grades must be “A’s”. Core subjects included are: Reading, Language, Math,
Science/Health, and Social Studies.
ALP students shall meet the same criteria as stated above, although ALP grades are weighted so
that a “B” equals an “A” for Academic Night.
To participate in Academic Night, students enrolling in a Gilbert School after school begins must
enter from an accredited school, with grades that would qualify them for academic night the first grading
period. Students entering after the second grading period will be considered for Academic Night the
following year.

A note from the Nurse’s Office
Welcome to spring, a great time of year. The weather is warm and everything
is blooming. We can enjoy the beautiful flowers and warm weather. Spring may also
bring some unpleasant health issues in the form of allergies. Allergies by themselves
may make student feel miserable but are not contagious. Most of the time student’s
can come to school. It may be difficult to decide whether your child should stay home
or go to school. Here are a few tips to help you decide. If your child has a fever of
101 or above or lesser and looking sick, keep them home. If they are sick enough to
make a doctor’s appointment, they should probably stay home especially if you
suspect something contagious like strep.
Gilbert Public Schools has a policy that children should stay home for fevers over 101 and be fever free
for 24 hrs without medication before coming back to school. The same applies to when a student is throwing up
or having diarrhea. They would need to be symptom free for 24 hrs. Runny noses and coughs are a little tricky.
There is no specific policy for runny noses unless there is a fever present. Teach your child to use a Kleenex to
blow their nose and to cough into their sleeve. Also teach them to wash their hands after coughing or sneezing.
Student should not attend school only if their cough is disruptive or constant. You may send in 1-2 cough drops
with your child for their use only. If they are sharing, the cough drops may be taken. You may drop some
cough drops off in the health office for your child as well. Encourage your children to drink plenty of fluids and
get rest. This will help all get through the allergy season.
As a reminder for those who have students with Asthma and use an inhaler, students are not allowed to
carry their inhaler unless it is checked in with the health office and the proper paperwork is completed. It is
recommended that if a student carries their inhaler, a back up one should be kept in the health office for those
times when your child forgets to bring their inhaler. All inhalers need to be clearly marked with a prescription
label at all times.
In preparation for next school year, I want to remind 5th grade parents that there are immunization
requirements for 6th grade. If your child is already 11 you should consider getting the required shots now and
sending in a copy of the verified record to the health office. These shots are needed by the beginning of next
school year. The shots required are the Tdap (Tetanus, Diptheria and Pertussis) booster and the Meningococcal
vaccine. Notices will be going out in the next few weeks.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call.
Health kids are my business,

Homemade treats
It is Gilbert Public Schools policy that all treats brought into the classrooms be storebought. This includes birthday treats. We would encourage you to bring in healthy,
nutritious snacks, even for birthdays! If you have any questions, please contact your
child’s teacher.
Gilbert Public Schools (GPS) District policy states that enrolling students must live within the
Boulder Creek Boundaries. If your student does not live within the Boulder Creek
boundaries, parents must complete an Open Enrollment Application. Forms must be turned
in by April 15, 2012. Families will be notified of the results of their applications by June 1.

school year. The price is $27. Pick up
