Firearms Safety: Protecting Our Kids in all homes
This month, I want to remind Poudre School District families about the importance of secure firearm storage. Under Colorado law C.R.S. 18-12-114, it states that firearms must be responsibly and securely stored when they are not in use to prevent access by unsupervised juveniles and other unauthorized users by a locked gun safe or gun lock. To support this, FREE GUN LOCKS are available to any family that needs them. Please reach out to your school administrators, counselors or SRO, as locks are readily available. You can also contact the Larimer County Juvenile Gun Safety Coalition to retrieve one, no questions asked. In a survey, one in four Larimer County students reported they would be able to get a loaded gun without an adult’s permission. The Coalition’s mission is to protect the youth from gun violence through education, intervention, community engagement, and promotion of safe and secure gun storage. Beyond the law, the most powerful tool we have is conversation with our kids. This isn’t a one-time conversation, but this is ongoing and everchanging. Even if you do not own a firearm, your child may visit a home that does own firearms. Curiosity is natural for kids of all ages, so please talk to them about what to do if they ever see an unattended firearm. Phrases that are important to address are: Stop, don’t touch, leave the area, and tell an adult immediately. For parents, do not hesitate to ask about storage before a playdate. It is okay to ask, just like you would ask about a pool or tell them about a peanut allergy. The Coalition’s recent Public Service Announcement is titled Be Awkward, reminding parents that we need to have important conversations about guns. By removing the “mystery” around firearms with conversations, we can ensure our students stay safe – no matter whose home they are in. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns. Safety is a collaborative effort, and your partnership is necessary in keeping our schools safe! Thank you, SRO Dave Wilson

CMAS Testing
In our spring semester, we will be administering the annual state required assessment - Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS) in grades 3-5. Please make note of the dates for the assessment your child will be taking and, wherever possible, please avoid absences during the testing periods. Please note that, on testing days, if students arrive late after testing has begun, they will not be able to join their class until testing has been completed for the day. Having students on time and present on testing days helps us gather valuable data while minimizing interruptions to daily instruction. Please help us meet that goal! 3rd Grade CMAS: April 6th - 8th & April 14th - 16th 4th Grade CMAS: April 6th - 10th & April 13th - 14th 5th Grade CMAS: April 6th - 10th & April 13th - 16th
News from the Health Office
Hello Riffenburgh families, As we head into our winter months, when hats and gloves are worn outside, this is the time of year when we often see an increase in head lice due to the sharing of hats and coats. Please send your child with their own coat and hat so we can limit the sharing of outdoor clothing. If you have any questions or would like additional support, please don’t hesitate to contact the school health office. We’re happy to help! Thank you so much, Kelley-School RN
Additional information from the Health Office
As we enter Winter seasons, we often see increased illnesses in our students. Just a friendly reminder, please do not send your child to school if they are feeling ill. Several symptoms such as Diarrhea, Vomiting, Fever of 100.4 or greater, Flu-like symptoms, and Respiratory viruses are reasons for students to stay home, and they may not return to school until 24 hours after their last symptom and without using fever-reducing medications.
Any medications, whether prescription or over the counter, that your student may need at school must have a signed order from your doctor, this includes cough drops, ointments & eye drops. We have been seeing several cough drops at school and medications in backpacks.
Please reach out to the Health Office, 970-488-7941, with any questions.
Thank you for keeping all of our students healthy & safe.
