Field trips:
Our field trips are upon us. For Washington D.C. (8th gr.) and Outdoor Ed. (6th gr.), if you have not
turned in forms and/or medication for your student, please do this ASAP! Medications must match
the paperwork and be in their original containers (prescription and over the counter.)
Regarding immunizations:
1.) Please continue to turn in your students updated immunization records. Per state requirements
every student in middle school is to receive the Tdap vaccination. Thank you!
2.) If your child is not fully immunized for the measles, please consider getting the necessary MMR
shot(s). During the winter the news reported an out break of measles in Colorado. If your child is
not fully immunized AND IF we were to have a case of the measles at Erie Middle, your student would
need to be kept home 21 days to protect them and other students.
To families of students who have medication(s) at school, according to district guidelines, we are
unable to store medication over the summer. Please stop by the school to pick up your student's
medication(s) as the school year wraps up. If you need to stop by after the school year ends, office
staff will be in the office until June 9, 2015. After that we will be disposing of the medications in the
Health Office.
We will start fresh in August. New paperwork for medication at school will need to be filled out,
signed and turned in as we start the school year. Students that currently have an Individual Health
Plan for asthma and food allergies at school will receive paperwork to be filled out over the summer.
In August, when dropping off medication, please remember a parent or guardian needs to bring it in
and it must be in the original container (prescription or over the counter.)
Please see the Permission for Medication included in this newsletter to use for medications during the
2015-16 school year.
If you have any questions, please contact Nicole Meadows, the Health Clerk at 303-828-3391 or

Counseling Corner
There are ways for your student to peacefully settle conflicts without fighting, without running away, and
without going against their feelings or beliefs. Resolving conflicts peacefully helps keep your student safe,
feeling good, and helps them learn respect for others.
Following are some strategies your son or daughter can use to help them solve conflicts peacefully:
First, calm down and decide whether there really is a significant problem, then think of solutions,
weigh the results and choose a plan.
When meeting with the other person to settle the problem, be a good listener. Avoid interruptions and
ask questions after the other person has presented his or her side. Repeat what you have heard to make
sure you understand what the problem seems to be. Present your side of the conflict. Then negotiate a
solution. It is sometimes very helpful to have a third person who can be impartial to help brainstorm
ideas and develop solutions. This is where your students school counselor can help.
