PTA Information Sheets and Membership envelopes will go home soon in your child’s
Friday Folders. Keep a look out, for there will be exciting and important information.
There will be additional packets in the school office. We strongly encourage everyone
connected with El Camino to join the PTA. It signifies that you care about the students
and school and desire to be a part of the ongoing work to make El Camino the best it
can be. Becoming a member is also one of the best ways to stay connected and
informed of all the exciting events that take place throughout the year! The annual
membership dues are only $6.50. A portion of that money is used exclusively at our
school; and some goes to support the Santa Barbara area PTA and also the State and
National levels Remember to return your envelope immediately!
Please plan to join us and become involved at upcoming events at
El Camino. The more parents involved – the better for everyone!
Watch for more details. Ask around if this is your first year.
--Melissa Fitch
PTA President
It is the start of another great year at El Camino! Our
young scholars (your children) are demonstrating good
character both in the classroom and on the playground.
September we are focusing on Respect, one of the nine pillars in the Character Counts
program. The teachers, staff and I reinforce the meaning of respect through our
Morning Meetings discussions, my Friday Telecast (broadcast through close-circuit TV
to all classrooms), and out on the playground. Ask your children about respect!
Parents, thank you for getting your children to bed early, bringing your children
to school on time, and for making sure they have a healthy snack (fruits and vegetables,
crackers or bread, and a bit of protein). Food and sleep are two of the most important
factors in ensuring your child has a successful day; being on time means your young
scholar is ready to go, feels like part of the team, and has the focus necessary to give his
or her all!

Nurses Notes August/September 2013
Goleta Union School District Nurses--Back to School with Asthma and Allergies
Asthma and allergy symptoms often increase in September.
When you return to school in
August, update the teacher, school nurse and health office staff regarding your child’s asthma/allergy
triggers and symptoms. If your child requires medication at school, have their allergist or primary care
provider complete an authorization form and bring it to the health office along with the medication. The
school nurse can then create an Asthma/Allergy Action Plan and train appropriate staff to assist your
child in the event of an asthma episode or allergic reaction.
To the greatest extent possible, ensure that your child knows what food or environmental
allergens trigger symptoms and instruct him/her to go to an adult for help at the first sign of allergy
symptoms or in the event that they are exposed to something that could trigger an allergic reaction.
