Parent Academy Workshops
To promote continued cooperation between families and schools, Wake County Public School System is offering Parent Academy – a series of classes, workshops and events aimed at helping families learn to engage with the school system and positively contribute to their child's academic and social success.
Throughout your child’s educational career, you and your child will make many decisions about programs, schools, opportunities and courses. As your child’s most effective advocate, you need to know how these decisions can affect your child’s future. Families who attend Parent Academy will gain invaluable knowledge – from preparing their kindergartener for the first day of school to choosing the right courses for their college-bound high school student. All events are free and open to the public. Registration is required.

Information
Concerning Viral Illnesses
(From Peter J. Morris, MD, MPH, MDiv Wake Co.
Human Services Medical Director)
At
this time of year, it is very important to try to stop the spread of illnesses
due to viruses. You and
your
children should follow these easy steps to help protect yourselves from colds
and flu (as well
as
many other contagious diseases).
·
Wash hands often with
warm water and soap and for at least 15 seconds, especially before
·
eating and after
using the bathroom. Alcohol based hand sanitizer is recommended if soap
·
and water are not
available.
·
Cough into a shirt
sleeve or use tissue to cover coughs and sneezes. Wash hands after
·
wiping noses.
·
Keep hands away from
your face, nose and eyes.
·
Do not share food,
drinks, cups or eating utensils.
·
Do not touch the
spout of the water fountain when drinking.
·
Get plenty of sleep,
exercise regularly and eat healthy foods.
·
Sometimes children
will get sick anyway. The BEST thing you can do is to keep children home
·
when they are
sick. This will help
stop the spread of illness to other children and teachers.
·
Children need to be
kept home when they have any of these symptoms:
·
Fever of 100 º F or
38º C or higher. Children should stay home until they have been without
·
fever for at least 24
hours. Children should not be given Tylenol (acetaminophen) or
·
Advil (ibuprofen)
to reduce the fever and then sent to school. The child may be
·
contagious to
others.
·
Nausea or vomiting
within the last 12 hours.
·
Severe headache
·
Diarrhea within the
last 12 hours.
·
Red, watery eyes with
yellow drainage
·
Unexplained rash
If
you are called to pick up a sick child at school, please come quickly. If you
know your child has been exposed to someone diagnosed with the influenza virus,
call your doctor immediately to determine if medicine might shorten the illness.
Thank
you for your help in this very important matter. If you have questions, you may
call the school based public health nurse, Gina Cornick RN, BSN, NCSN at
919-524-5652.

SPAN Access Available for Parents and Students
Note - 2012-13 School year: All SPAN accounts will be set-up or reactivated by the end of September. There are several hundred accounts which require attention, so this process takes a while. We appreciate your patience!
Daniels parents have access to the Student/Parent Access Network (SPAN) software program! SPAN allows students and parents access to data such as grades, demographics, attendance, schedules, discipline, and teacher recommendations from your home computer. Parents will need internet access and an active email account in order to establish a SPAN account. Parents will also be required by the County to verify current address and contact information upon applying for a SPAN account. In order to register for this service, a SPAN Account form must be completed. There are two ways to complete a SPAN Account form and open a SPAN account—one form can be completed and turned in at Daniels with photo identification; the other form can be completed at home, notarized, and sent to Daniels. Forms to establish a SPAN account are available in the Main Office, Student Services Offices, or you can find the forms posted below.
