Healthy Kids, Smart Kids
Stonewall Tell Elementary has adopted the Healthy Kids, Smart Kids wellness initiative. We believe that healthier eating habits and consistent exercise have a positive impact on our children’s learning and ultimately their test scores. When sending classroom snacks, please remember that this is a “Sugar-Free Zone” school. Do not send soft drinks, fruit drinks with processed sugar, candy, cookies, ice cream, cupcakes, cakes, hot fries or sugary snacks. Also note that birthday parties that include cakes, cookies, wings, ice cream and other treats are prohibited and will not be allowed in the building. Healthier items such as fruit cups, fresh fruit, pretzels, baked chips, 100% juice, fresh vegetables, 100% fruit snacks, granola bars, animal crackers and items with low salt and minimum sugar are allowed.
** Due to nut allergies, please do not send any snacks with peanuts or peanut butter in them.
Parents please note that if your child has a fever of at least 100
degrees (F) they must be “fever-
free” for 24 hours before returning to school. This policy will be strictly
enforced so that we might combat/prevent the spread of any flu-like virus in the school.

Counselor’s Corner Being a parent is the most demanding job in the world, yet most of us train “on the job.” When things are going well, savor the moment. When things are not going well you may feel stressed and overwhelmed.
· Are you sleeping and eating too much or too little?
· Do you take your frustrations out on your kids?
· Do you feel out of control?
· Do you feel as if your children misbehave on purpose?
· Do you strike out physically or verbally when angry?
· Do you have chronically upset stomach or muscle aches, especially in your back and neck?
· Are you frustrated because your children don’t listen?
· Do you feel as if you pick on one particular child?
· Do you feel as if you can’t talk to your kids?
If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, you may need to reach out for help. Call your school counselor for resources and information.

According to the Center for Disease Control, the single best way to prevent seasonal flu is to get vaccinated each year. Good health habits may also help protect you against the flu. But what are we doing to protect ourselves from the germs of the seasonal people in our lives? Just as cautious as we are about keeping ourselves and our children healthy during this time of year; we should take just as much (sometimes more) precaution with the other "germs" we let in our lives that may harm us, this can be anything from the foods we eat, habits we have formed and even the people we have chosen to keep us company. We take the extra time to physically clean the areas around us so that we do not get the flu but not often enough do we mentally clean out the "germs" that have accumulated in our lives. So as we move closer to the end of winter let's think about how much healthier our lives could be if we could clean out some of the things that we do not need in the spring. Remember, some people are meant to be in your life for a season others for a lifetime but the choice is completely yours. Happy cleaning!

From The Desk of Nurse Plott
Fulton County Schools Illness Policy:
Please remember that sending a sick child to school may cause them to spread the virus to
other students and staff members. Additionally, we want your child to feel well enough to be at
school and learn. Students who are sick, contagious (potential or actual) and/or have a fever greater than 100.4 MUST NOT be sent to school. In order to return to school, a student
should be fever free for at least 24 hours and not require medications to reduce fever; and in some
cases must be cleared to return to school by a health care provider. When a student becomes ill at school, runs a fever, has a potential contagious illness or has a more serious health problem while at school, the parent/guardian will be notified to
pick-up their child immediately. The parent/guardian MUST ARRANGE for the student
to be taken home. Again, a note from a doctor may be requested by the school before your child can return to school. In order for us to be able to
contact you quickly, in case your child is sick or has an emergency, please be sure all your emergency phone numbers and contacts are updated in our
computer system. Please refer to the CDC’s website for a complete guide to information about
the flu, prevention strategies and continuous updates on the flu season:
http://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/season/flu-season-2012-2013.htm
In Fulton County Schools, Student Health Services works in collaboration with the school clinics and
school staffs to insure the guidelines for identifying, containing, reporting and preventing suspected and/or confirmed infectious illnesses
are followed. In addition, this year in some schools we have offered flu clinics for students
and staff. By working together, we can help reduce the transmission of the flu and other
infectious illnesses in the schools and community. For more information, please
contact the Office of Student Health Services at (404) 305-2177.

Counselor’s Corner
Robin Elder -School Counselor
Strategic Plan 2017 This is the school system’s roadmap for how
Fulton County Schools aims to improve student
achievement over the next five years. Three
goals serve as the district’s measure for long-
term student success, which is that students will
graduate on time and be ready for college or the
workforce.
• Graduation Rate – 90% of Fulton
students will graduate on time
• College Readiness – 85% of Fulton’s
seniors will be eligible for admission to a
University System of Georgia college or university
• Career Readiness – 100% of Fulton's
graduates will be work-ready certified
“These are big goals, but they are attainable,”
said Superintendent Avossa. “Our strategic plan
is focused on improving outcomes for all
students, and the only way to do this is to set
measurable goals and put supports in place to
help our students and staff to reach them.” To that end, as part of its “Building Our Future”
strategic planning initiative, the school system
will focus on five key areas – instruction,
people, technology, effective schools and
resources – to drive improvement.
• Instruction – Students will be engaged
in learning that enables them to reach their full
potential for college and career readiness
• People – Fulton County Schools will
attract and retain the most talented and effective
employees in K-12 education
• Technology – Students, parents,
teachers and administrators will have the tools
and information they need to accelerate learning
• Effective Schools – School leadership
will be collaborative and will balance innovation
with accountability • Resources – Student needs will be supported
with efficient and effective allocation of staff,
instructional materials and equipment. The strategic plan will guide the system’s
direction over the next five years and is the result
of many conversations with the school board,
teachers and school leaders as well as
engagement with parents and the community.
The plan is posted at
www.fultonschools.org/StrategicPlan2017.
FYI… Student Hardship Applications are due
February 15, 2013.
NO EXCEPTIONS
Beginning January 2013, parents of Fulton County students can apply for a 2013-2014 hardship transfer to another Fulton County School or request renewal of an existing hardship transfer. For more information, contact:

Talented And Gifted- January Critical Thinking
NOTIFICATION TO PARENTS OF THE SCREENING AND REFERRAL PROCESS FOR GIFTED SERVICES The Fulton County School System screens students for eligibility for gifted services twice a year. I. Automatic Screening- At the beginning of the school year, TAG teachers review previous year’s test scores. • Standardized Tests (New Students) Students must have a minimum of an 85th percentile and a 90th percentile in two of the three areas: Total Reading, Total Math, and Complete Battery. • Acceleration Assessments (Grades K-3) Students must score 80% or greater on system’s Acceleration Assessment for English/Language Arts or Mathematics. • Criterion-Referenced Competency Test (Grades 4-9) Students must score in the top 20 percent on the reading or mathematics section when compared to all other students in the system. • Grades (Grades 10-12) Students must have an overall cumulative average of 95 or greater. II. Classroom Screening- Local schools select a two-week period from January 7 -February 28, 2013, to review all students in the school (Grades K-11). Stonewall Tell Elementary School will conduct the Classroom Screening period from January 7th-January 18th, 2013!!! • Classroom teachers and Special Area teachers use the Characteristics Instrument for Screening Students (CISS) to identify students with superior abilities in five or more of the following areas: motivation, interests, communications skills, problem-solving abilities, memory, inquiry, insight, reasoning, creativity, and humor. Students who meet either the automatic screening OR classroom screening criteria AND who have supporting data gathered from test history, products, and/or advanced content levels are referred for gifted placement testing. Once referred to testing: Parents receive the Parent Notification for
Testing Consent Form. Student is tested for the gifted program. Parents receive test results by late April 2013
or early May 2013. If state eligibility is determined, students are
