Students entering 6th-12th grade may still need the vaccine. The “p” (pertussis) has been added to the standard Td booster in order to protect teens against whooping cough. Prior to the first day of school, a copy of the immunization record from the doctor’s office must be provided to the school. If they have already received the booster, you may give this record to their current school before school is out. State law in Colorado does allow parents to sign the back of an immunization card if they choose to take a personal or religious exemption for not receiving the booster.

Page 5 Riffenburgh Elementary School Newsletter March, 2012 Spend Time with Your Child When There's No Time to Spare! There's no question that time with children is vitally important. It's been said that children spell love T-I-M-E. Still, the truth is that many parents would agree that on some days, they hardly have time to brush their teeth. So where can a harried parent find the time to spend with a child Here are some ideas: Plan some one-on-one time. Your child should know that there will be some time during the week when she gets your undivided attention. Seeing "Mom and Sydney" on the calendar for Saturday will help your child make it through a particulary tough week at school. Do things together. Invite your child to help you while you are cooking dinner. You'll get time together--and helping in the kitchen could become your child's favorite chore. Make the most of short fun breaks. Time together doesn't always have to be planned, and it can come in small chunks. You're working on a report for work. Your child is doing math homework. Say, "Let's work until 7:00 and then take a 10-minute break together." Let your child know she's on your mind. If you can't be there, send your child an "I love you" email. Or write a note and tuck it in her lunch. Reprinted with permission from the March 2012 issue of Parents make the difference!® (Elementary School Edition) newsletter.
