FORT OSAGE R-1 SCHOOL DISTRICT :: INDEPENDENCE, MISSOURI
This Summer Around Fort
Students at Fire Prairie Upper Elementary Summer School had the opportunity
to learn yoga and how it can help improve their learning.
The District tennis courts received a new surface this summer. Lines will be
painted and nets put back in place in time for the tennis season this fall.
Nick Bender, Meteorologist from KMBC 9, shared weather information with
1st grade students at Elm Grove Elementary Summer School.
This summer the district was able to repair asphalt at Blue Hills Elementary,
Fort Osage High School, and a walkway from Osage Trail Middle School to Fire
Prairie Upper Elementary.
Alumni Association
Scholarship Banquet
“Ohana” means family and that’s just what we are in
the Fort Osage District. But that family doesn’t end just
because someone graduates or retires. It continues on
through the Alumni Association. May 7th marked the annual banquet and auction to benefit the scholarships the
association provides each year to graduating seniors. Over
100 guests enjoyed a catered meal as well as fellowship
with friends old and new.
Awards recognizing individuals who have contributed
to the district are given yearly. This year, the Spirit Award
was given to Jerry Hansen, owner of our local McDonalds.
His generosity has impacted so many in the area from
scholarships for students, coupons for fundraising, McTeacher nights and even free orange drink for events. The
Alumni Association wanted to let him know how much
he is appreciated in our school community. Marshall Stapleton received the Warrior Award which recognizes an
individual for their work directly with the organization or
district. Stapleton has been active with the Alumni since
its inception and continues to be a vital member.
Each year, three scholarships are awarded to children of
alum. This year they were awarded to Kyda Donovan, Jesse
Reser and Jackson Rexford. Alternates chosen were Malori
Brown, Alexis Erickson and Bryce Richardson. These students have demonstrated achievement in both the classroom and in extra-curricular activities. We congratulate
them as they begin a new chapter in their lives and know
that the education they received will serve them well.
The speaker this year was media teacher Ben Merithew
who shared with the group some of the changes that technology has made possible. He expressed his department’s
efforts to document history through video and audio recordings of various events. His message resonated with
the Alumni Association as they have been working on a
virtual museum archiving the history of the district from
its humble beginnings in one-room school houses. More
information about the museum can be found through the
district web page under the Programs/Groups tab.
Ending the evening was an auction with items donated
from several different patrons. Ed Stanger commanded
the floor with his expertise and humor to make for a delightful time! The annual banquet is held in May the Saturday before Mother’s Day so mark your calendar now for
May 6, 2017 and join the fun!
Little Lending Libraries
The Fort Osage Education Foundation and the Eastern Independence Rotary Club have placed Little Lending Libraries
around the community to encourage kids to read. Little Lending Libraries are designed for kids and adults to take a book,
leave a book, or return a book. The way it works is simple:
• We initially stock the libraries with a variety of good quality
books that we hope will interest our community.
• You stop by and take whatever catches your eye
• You return and bring books to contribute when and if you
can
Fort Osage School District Students, Staff, Parents, and Community:

From the Superintendent
Summer is an excellent time to
reflect on the previous successes of
the District while preparing for the
upcoming school year. I’m pleased
with the accomplishments demonstrated by our students and staff
during the past year and I’m excited
about what’s in store for the future.
It never ceases to amaze me how
much dedication, motivation, and
work goes into ensuring every student is receiving our very best each
day. The Fort Family is once again
preparing to rise to the occasion and
make the upcoming school year one
to remember. I know the staff eagerly
awaits the first day of school so we
can continue the rich traditions of
Fort Osage and effectively educate
every student.
Fort Osage is providing a strong
education for all students. The staff is
mindful of each student’s needs and
works to provide the best opportunities for everyone. As superintendent,
walking into classrooms and seeing
student engagement is the favorite
part of my position. It is uplifting to
see the amount of care and attention
given in order to prepare the students for the future.
Beyond providing a solid academic program, Fort Osage is also mindful of other aspects of the District.
Currently Fort Osage is performing
a facilities master planning process
which assesses the building and
grounds needs of the District. Led
by the District’s architectural firm,
Fort Osage is assessing each building
and its campus in order to determine
possible needs. Once the master plan
is completed and approved by the
Board of Education it will provide
the District with a list of capital improvement projects that can be completed in the future. The District is
receiving input from staff, parents,
and patrons in order to ensure the
end result is a well rounded plan that
the Board is confident in approving.
In May the District began a 5,700
square foot expansion to the multipurpose building located on the
main campus on the north side of
the high school. The facility earns
its name by serving a number of students in numerous programs. The
facility is utilized for physical education classes, cheerleading, football,
track, weight training, wrestling,
youth activities, and off season and
summer training for all other student athletes. The growing needs of
the facility have surpassed the existing space therefore the expansion
is needed. Work on the expansion
is being performed this summer
and is expected to be completed
by the beginning of the 2016-2017
school year. The Fort Osage Education Foundation led the campaign
to garner donations to expand the
multipurpose facility. A ribbon cutting will be scheduled at the time of
completion to properly thank those
who made this project possible.
As I conclude this letter, I would
like to focus on the importance of
being a member of the Fort Family. Fort Osage is an excellent school
district made of outstanding faculty,
wonderful students, and a school
community that values education.
We take great pride in our achievements and are passionate about the
service and opportunity we provide
every one of our students. It is not
uncommon for me to have conversations with people from other
districts who comment on the positive reputation Fort Osage has built
around the state. On behalf of our
District, please accept my appreciation for your support of our schools
and our students. Thank you for your
confidence in the Fort Osage School
District and for embracing our students and their futures. I’m looking
forward to continuing to serve you
as the Superintendent of Schools for
years to come.

district and its students to patrons. The Fort Osage Newsletter is published three times per year and mailed through the Postal Service to all

The Fort Osage Education Foundation is excited to be leading the
charge on a Capital Campaign to
expand the Multi-Purpose building at Fort Osage. The Foundation
began during the 2000-2001 school
year to raise, manage, and distribute scholarships for seniors from
Fort Osage High School. Since that
time the foundation has expanded its efforts to provide support
for teacher grants, student grants,
academic recognition, and special
projects. The Capital Campaign
has brought together the parents,
community, staff, board of education and businesses to help fill a
need for the students in our district. Together we have raised approximately $359,000. It is members of the Fort family who have
made this renovation possible.
We have had a number of significant contributors come forward
during this campaign. On behalf of
the foundation and the district we
would like to thank:
Bedsworth Family
Carol Marcks
Connie Truelove
David and Janie Gates
David and Joann Shrout

still accepting donations to reach
our goal of $400,000. We know
that working with businesses,
alumni, community members, and
other Fort Family members we will
raise the additional funds needed.
The expansion is well underway
and is expected to be open for student use in early August. Look for
more information on a ribbon cutting and your chance to tour the
Multi-Purpose building.
Did you know that an emergency food pantry is housed at Cler-Mont Elementary? Established in 2004,
the LINC Fort Osage Food Pantry, served families more than 3,000 times
last year. If you or someone you knows finds yourself needing emergency
food assistance call 816-650-7365 for more information or to schedule an
appointment.
The Harvesters Mobile Pantry visits the Fort Osage Community on the 3rd
Thursday of each month from 4:00-5:00 p.m. Registration takes places on
Salem Drive near Harmony Heights Baptist Church. Food is distributed at
Fort Osage Church of the Nazarene.
Volunteers are wanted to assist at both the Emergency food pantry and the
Mobile pantry. Call 816-650-7365 if you would like to give your time today.

Early Out Thursdays
Dear Seniors & Parents,
We are writing in behalf of the Fort Osage Project Graduation 2017. The objective of Project Graduation is to provide a
drug and alcohol free party for our seniors after they graduate the night of May 9, 2017.
High school graduation is a time of celebration, excitement
and anxiety for these young people. Many young people decide to celebrate graduation by “partying” with their classmates. Some of these parties end up with
them driving home under the influence of drugs or alcohol, resulting in an accident.
The Project Graduation committee is renting the Matt Ross Community Center in Overland Park,
Kansas. Graduates and a guest will gather at the community center after graduation for a night of
games, prizes, food, swimming, basketball, volleyball, etc. Bus transportation is provided to and from
the community center and is mandatory for all students. The students are chaperoned at all times
during the event. Once they arrive, they are not allowed to leave the building. This is an all night party
for the entire senior class and their guest.
The cost for this event is approximately $28,800. If there are 400 students in the Class of 2017. This
averages about $72 per student.
The following fundraisers and important dates are listed below, also many other fundraiser information is sent out throughout the year (example – selling trash bags & nuts, selling spirit wear items
at football games & 50/50) (Papa John’s Pizza, Texas Roadhouse, Five Below, Jam berry Nails, Avon

Golden Pass Residents of the Fort Osage R1 School District who have reached their 65th birthday are encouraged to apply for a Golden Pass. This card entitles the senior citizen to attend all musical, dramatic, and home athletic events without admission charge. Information and applications for the Golden Pass should be directed to the Fort Osage activity office by calling 6507042, by email at [email protected], or by visiting the High School Office. For the past several years, students in grades 7-12 have been
released 25 minutes early on
Thursdays to give their teachers an opportunity to work together to improve as educators.
This opportunity has been very
valuable, so we are expanding
it to include the five elementary schools and Fire Prairie for
2016-17.
Research shows that the best
way for teachers to improve is
to have time to work together.
This collaboration time is used
to provide professional development, give teachers of the same
grade or subject the opportunity
to share best practices, and discuss ideas and problems that are
shared across the building. As
teachers at all grade levels work
to help each student achieve at
high levels, the addition of Early
Out Thursdays at the K-6 grades
will be very beneficial.
Information will be provided regarding specific dismissal
times and procedures at each
school. Early Out Thursday
will occur every Thursday of
the school year, including the
second day of school. The only
exceptions will be days that are
already designated for Early Release, namely December 22 and
March 9.
Fort Osage teachers are exceptional educators, and we are confident that the addition of Early
Out Thursdays will help them to
become even more effective in
the classroom and better able to
meet the needs of our students
in a quickly-changing world.
If you have questions about
your student’s Early Out Thursday schedule, please contact the
school. We believe that with a
minimal disruption to the students’ schedules we will be able
to provide an excellent support
for staff and ultimate benefit to
students.

(In compliance with the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act) - EPA 40
CFR Part 763.
The Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act of 1986, 15
U.S.C. §§ 2641 et seq. (AHERA) is a federal law administered by
the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The
EPA has developed detailed regulations under AHERA that require all school districts to manage asbestos in a safe manner. The
Fort Osage R1 School District owns a number of older buildings
that contain asbestos, and are therefore subject to regulation under
AHERA.
The EPA requires all school districts to reinspect school buildings that contain asbestos every three years. This Notice is intended to inform you that the Fort Osage R1 School District completed reinspection of its facilities in June 2015. The Fort Osage R1
School District also intends to conduct periodic surveillance of
these schools every six months to monitor the condition of asbestoscontaining materials.
Undisturbed asbestos is not hazardous. However, when conditions warrant, abatement which is a project to remove or render
harmless, will be conducted to minimize asbestos hazards. The
Fort Osage R1 School District contracts with professional consulting firms during abatement projects to monitor and insure work
is completed in compliance with EPA regulations. All abatement
projects and response actions are detailed in the district’s AHERA
Management Plan.
Buildings scheduled for renovation may undergo asbestos abatement as a precaution. The Fort Osage R1 School District will try
to conduct any renovationrelated abatement work in conjunction
with the other construction activities so that the abatement will
occur while the buildings are not occupied by school children or
staff.
A copy of the asbestos management plan is available for your inspection in our administrative offices during regular office hours.
Copies of portions of the management plan are available for a
nominal fee. The management plan is updated annually as asbestoscontaining building materials are controlled and/or removed.
Dr. John Ruddy, Assistant Superintendent, is the local education
agency’s designated person (8166507000) and all inquiries regarding the plan should be directed to him. The management plan has
been implemented and it is the intention of the district not only
to comply with, but to exceed federal, state, and local regulations
in this area. We plan to continue all the necessary steps to insure
the safety of our children and employees and insure they have a
healthy, safe environment in which to learn and work.
Sincerely,
Dr. John Ruddy
Assistant Superintendent for Support Services

More to Vision
than Meets the Eye
Every year Fort Osage Health
Services conducts vision screenings on 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th and
10th grades. We check far vision
acuity. However, there is much
more to vision than acuity. Vision is also perception, how
the person’s brain interprets
the information. There is no
quick screening tool available
at school for vision perception.

visual concern:

 Jerky eye movements, one eye turns in or out
 Squinting, eye rubbing or excessive blinking

Head Lice: A “BUGGY” Situation
Head lice are very aggravating. It is very small bug who can
crawl VERY quickly. But what to
do about them is the question?
How can we stop a very small bug,
which likes to hide? What harm
can they cause?
No, head lice are not known to
carry disease, such as mosquitoes.
However, the concern and problem
comes with infestation of head lice.
Lice are bugs that like to feed off of
the human scalp, to obtain blood.
The concerns come with secondary
infections, such as cellulites and
impetigo.
THINGS TO DO—if you or your
child has head lice
Shampoo with some sort of
lice shampoo…and follow the
package directions.
Check every member of the
family.
Pull nits, you can use a
“lice” comb. However, some
nits do slip through…those
will have to be pulled by hand/
fingernail.
 Clean the house:
 Vacuum, Vacuum, VACUUM
• The floors
• Couch, upholstered furniture
• Mattresses
• Car seats
• ETC.
 Wash, Wash, WASH
• All bedding—sheets,
blankets, pillow cases, etc
• Clothes—and put away
• Coats, jackets, hats,
scarves, etc.
• Hair items—brushes,
combs, hair accessories
(150 degree water for 10 minutes)
or get new.
Any items that cannot be
washed (such as pillows,
stuffed animals, back packs,
etc.) should be put in a hot
dryer for 30 minutes; or seal in
a plastic bag (like a trash bag)
for 14 days; or freezer for 48
hours, or direct sun light (hot
day) 6 – 8 hours.
You MUST stay vigilant… or they
will keep coming back.
 PREVENT HEAD LICE
FROM SPREADING
 Do not share hair items
• Combs
• Hats
• Hair accessories
• ETC.
**You may want to send a draw
string trash bag for your child to
place his/ her hat and coat in. Also
remind them to hang their items
up on the hooks!
Check your child’s head frequently!
Medication Information
MEDICATION POLICY/GUIDELINES/INFORMATION:
Policy 2870: “It shall be the policy of the Board of Education that the giving of medicine to
students during school hours be discouraged and restricted to medication that cannot be given on an alternative schedule. The Board of Education recognizes that
some students may require medication for chronic or
short term illness/injury during the school day to enable
them to remain in school and participate in their education. …” (board policy available at www.fortosage.net)
Some children do require medication to be given at
school. The health room staff are prepared to assist;
however we do require the following:
 ALL MEDICATION (even over-the-counter – such as
Tylenol, Motrin, Advil) REQUIRES A PHYSICIAN SIG
NATURE or prescription—forms are available in the
health rooms or on line at www.fortosage.net/student
resources/health services
For the safety of students, ALL medication is to be
brought to the health room by parent or adult.
Students are NOT to carry or keep medication in class
room or locker. The Fort Osage School District does
not stock medications.
Prescription medication should be in CURRENT
dated, pharmacy labeled container.
 All over-the-counter medication should be in the new
un-opened container (bottle, bag, box, etc.) Baggies,
envelopes, or punch out cards are not acceptable.
 Dosage: only amounts provided by the manufacture
or physician will be given. Smallest dose will be given
first to see if effective. (For Children under 12 years:
**PEDIATRIC or CHILDREN dosing ONLY----no
adult dosage unless with a doctor’s note**)
Health room staff will not give students aspirin
(salicylates) products.
WHY BE CONCERNED?
Lead is silent, you or your child can have a high lead level and not
even be aware. Adults can have high blood pressure, headaches,
memory and concentration concerns, pregnancy difficulties and
joint pain. However, children can have much more serious concerns. Lead poisoning can cause reduced IQ’s and learning
disabilities, and other growth and development concerns which do
not resolve.
HOW TO PREVENT POISONING?
 WASH HANDS!!!!
For at least 20 seconds with soap. Make
sure you wash before you eat, when coming in from out
doors, and after any hobby activities that use lead. Wipe feet
when coming in the house or take shoes off at the door.
School can be a germ farm. Yes, that sounds terrible but hear me out. Students do not always cover their mouths when they cough and sneeze. They
do not spend 20 seconds washing their hands. Here are a few pointers to help:
 Wash hands!!!!
 Turn on the warm water
 Apply soap
 While scrubbing and making
 Rinse hands
 Dry hands, if in a public bathroom turn off water with a paper towel and open door with a paper towel
Do not cough or sneeze into your hand—than only spreads germs unless you can immediately
wash your hands. Instead use a tissue or the crook of your elbow/arm, make sure this is tight.
Do not share silverware, cups, toothbrushes or any other personal items
 Brush your teeth at least twice a day (morning and just before bed) and get new tooth brushes as
illness resolves
 Stay home and away from others if you are sick.
 Do NOT give Aspirin (salicylate) products due to the direct link to Reye’s syndrome.
 Clean items (with Clorox Wipes, Lysol, or other disinfectant) the ill person touches such as:
 Table tops
 Counters
 Telephone
 TV remote
 Door knobs
 Soap Dispenser
Please talk and practice with your children about not spreading germs. Practice good hygiene habits
with your family. Eat healthy—lots of fruits and vegetables, and drink water.
ILLNESS GUIDELINES:
house. For example: do not let paint chips lay on the floor—
mop it up. Repaint area.
Fort Osage School District has the following guidelines to help stop the
spread of illness.
 Eat healthy.
Good nutritious meals high in calcium and iron
will help absorb lead. Keep children from chewing on not
food items.
Please help us!
1.Students should be fever, vomiting, or diarrhea FREE for 24 hours
 Have your house checked for lead, there are simple swab test
before returning to school. This includes no fever reducing, or anti-di-
now on the market that you can do yourself. Houses built
before 1978 used lead base paint.
 Have your child tested for lead at the doctor’s office.
For more information please contact: www.epa.gov/lead or call
1-800-424-LEAD or contact Missouri Department of Health &
Senior Services.
Information taken from the Missouri Department of Health and
Senior Services, Lead Poisoning Prevention Program.
bubbles, sing the “ABC” song or
“Happy Birthday” (15 – 20 seconds)
 Repair any potential lead poisoning areas in and around the
The school district retains the right to reject requests
for administering medications. (For example, if the
medication is for 2 times a day it will not be given at
school.) Only medication approved by the Food and
Drug Administration will be given with parent and physician consent. The dosage must be in acceptable ranges
found in pharmaceutical and reference books. The parent/guardian of the student must assume responsibility
for informing the health room personnel of any change
in the student’s health or medication.
WHY IS MY CHILD ALWAYS SICK?
Give your home a LEAD check-up!
HOW DOES LEAD POISONING HAPPEN?
Poisoning occurs when the person either inhales or ingests lead.
Children are more susceptible because they are more likely to put
objects and hands in their mouths.
The pharmacy will provide an extra bottle for school
upon parent request. Please bring only the medication
needed at school, do NOT bring the entire prescription.

WHAT IS LEAD POISONING?
Lead is in our environment in many forms, from: lead stain glass,
cars, batteries, and paint, to mineral deposits in the ground. Lead
can be a dust floating in the air, or in solid objects such as paint
chips.
A “Medication Permission Form” will need to be
signed and kept on file.
 First doses will NOT be administered at school.

SNOW DAY INFORMATION
In the event of inclement weather, school
district administration may choose to cancel
school or to dismiss classes early. The decision on whether to cancel school is made
before 6:00 a.m. if at all possible. Hopefully,
the district will not have to dismiss classes
early because the administration realizes the
hardships that might be created by doing such.
The exceptions might be dismissing classes early at the High School
and Osage Trail Middle School. If this is done, it is usually to dismiss
about 20 minutes earlier than usual and is done so that the busses
might make their High School and Osage Trail Middle School routes
and then get back for the Fire Prairie Upper Elementary School
routes. If the weather forces the closing of school, the information
will be announced in the following ways:
Information will be posted to our Facebook and Twitter accounts.
Information will be posted to our district mobile app.
 Announcements will be made on local television and radio stations.
Information will be posted on our website at www.fortosage.net.
A phone call, email, and text will be made to student’s homes.
What happens if the district has to cancel class one day due to inclement weather? The scheduled last day of classes is May 19, 2017.
The district has built in six inclement weather days per state law.
For each inclement weather day taken by the district, the last day of
school will change. It is possible the last day of school would be May
30, 2017 or beyond. We encourage parents to keep this in mind when
making summer travel arrangements.

State Assessments
The Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) is the state assessment
used to measure how well students have mastered the skills and knowledge described in the Missouri Learning Standards (MLS). This information is used to diagnose individual student strengths and weaknesses in relation to the instruction of the MLS and to gauge the overall
quality of education throughout Missouri.
GRADE-LEVEL ASSESSMENTS
The grade-level MAP assessment is a yearly standards-based test
that measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of
Missouri. All students in grades 3-8 in Missouri public schools take
the grade-level assessment. English language arts (ELA) and mathematics are administered in grades 3-8. Science is administered in
grades 5 and 8. For the 2016-2017 school year, Fort Osage will administer the grade-level MAP assessments during the weeks of April
25 - May 11.
END-OF-COURSE (EOC) ASSESSMENTS
The End-of-Course (EOC) MAP assessment is taken when a student has completed a high school course, regardless of grade level.
All EOC assessments are administered online. Students in Missouri,
including Missouri Option Program students, are required to take
the Algebra I, Biology, English II, and Government assessments. For
students who complete the Algebra I EOC assessment prior to high
school, Algebra II is the required high school mathematics assessment. Fort Osage administers EOC assessments in the fall, spring
and summer.
ACT
Statewide administration of the ACT®Plus Writing will occur on
April 19, 2017, for all grade 11 students in Missouri. A makeup date
of May 3, 2017, is available for students not able to test on the designated statewide administration date. Additional information will
be shared closer to the testing date.
ACCESS
To meet No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Title I and Title III requirements, states are mandated to annually administer a standards-based English language proficiency test to all English language learners (ELL) students in grades K-12. As part of the WIDA
consortium, Missouri uses ACCESS for ELLs 2.0. The ACCESS for
ELLs testing window will run from January 9, 2017 - March 3, 2017.
NOTIFICATION OF PROPORTIONATE SHARE MEETING
The Fort Osage R-I School District Department of Student Support Services will host an informational session for parents of Parentally-Placed Private School Students, which includes children in private, parochial, and home schools,
living within the district boundaries. This meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday, September 7, 2016 at 1:30 p.m.
and will be held at the Fort Osage School District Central Office, 2101 N. Twyman Road, Independence. The meeting’s purpose is to describe the identification process and special education services. Please contact the Office of
Student Support Services at 650-7000 for additional information.

New Missouri
Learning Standards
The State Board of Education approved new Missouri Learning Standards during the April 2016 board meeting. The new standards are the
result of HB 1490 which called for the formation of workgroups consisting of parents and educators to update the Missouri Learning Standards for English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. Assessments aligned to the new English language arts and math
standards will be administered in spring 2018.
Following are examples of changes from the current Missouri Learning Standards:
ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS
• Adds cursive writing to K-5 expectations
• Provides more emphasis on research
• Embeds language expectations in writing
MATHEMATICS
• Modifies the coding system that organizes the expectations
• Reorganizes kindergarten through grade 2 expectations; ie: moves
time and money to kindergarten
•Reorganizes the high school expectations into traditional high
school mathematics courses
SCIENCE
• Moves from discrete facts to application-based expectations
•Moves inquiry from stand alone expectations to embedded
applications
• Expectations written at a higher level of complexity and rigor

SOCIAL STUDIES
• Emphasizes processes of social science thinking
• Changes format to promote inquiry approaches in K-5 and 6-12
• Shifts the introduction of Missouri history from grade 4 to grade
3 to provide opportunities for additional concepts of social studies
in grades 4-12
Fort Osage will start transitioning to these new standards during the
2016-2017 school year. This will include aligning the current district
standards to the new Missouri Learning Standards and making necessary changes to the district curriculum documents. In addition, professional development will be provided to support teachers in the transition to the new standards. The transition will be completed during the
2017-2018 school year to ensure students are prepared for the new state
assessments.

Concussions – a “No Brainer”... What you need to know.
WHAT IS A CONCUSSION?
A brain injury – where the head has been hit hard enough
to bounce the brain against the skull causing injury, may or
may NOT lose consciousness. It is more than “got my bell
rung”. Seek medical attention if you suspect an injury.
CONCUSSION SYMPTOMS?
A concussion cannot always be seen. Concussions have
numerous symptoms that may show up in varying degrees – headache, dizziness, confusion, balance problems, vision changes, nausea/vomiting, fatigue, sleep
disturbances, light and noise sensitivity, difficulty concentrating or remembering, feeling ‘foggy’, emotional,
personality changes, depression, etc.
SERIOUS SYMPTOMS – CALL 911—IMMEDIATELY –
Loss of consciousness, pupils sizes are different, slurred
speech, seizure, confusion (cannot recognize people,
place, etc), numbness or weakness, continued vomiting,
agitated/irritable, headache gets worse,
WHEN IN DOUBT CALL/seek MEDICAL ASSISTANCE
WHAT DO I DO IF I THINK THERE IS A CONCUSSION?
 TELL SOMEONE – Tell your coach, athletic trainer,
parent, and doctor. Report any injury immediately
and seek medical attention. Coaches should know
about previous concussions.
Do not “TOUGH IT OUT”
 Seek Medical Attention – After a head injury the
patient should seek medical attention to be sure
there is no physical injury to the brain, such as
bleeding, blood clot or swelling.
 Remain out of Play – The injured person should
stop the activity/sport until cleared by a health care
professional (doctor). The full effect of the concussion
may not be evident immediately, symptoms may
occur up to 48 hours after injury.
HOW DO I PREVENT A CONCUSSION?
Unfortunately accidents happen and cannot be prevented…
but there are steps you can take to decrease the chance
of a concussion – Wear seat belts, wear helmets, follow
sports rules, good sportsmanship.
HOW DOES A CONCUSSION AFFECT ME?
A concussion will decrease your response times, difficulty concentrating/remembering information, cause
irritability/moodiness, personality changes, etc.
WHAT IS THE BEST TREATMENT?
REST, REST, REST....
WHAT DOES REST MEAN?
•Your brain processes a thousand things at a time…
the lights, noise, movement around you – all the while
it keeps your body completely functioning at the same
time. So to TRULY rest, you need to limit all external
inputs as much as possible…for example – NO: head
phones, music, TV, computer, video games, texting, etc.
•Limit amount of time reading, doing school work –
“CHUNK-IT” – do 15 – 20 minutes of work and rest
for 20 minutes.
 STUDENT MAY EXPERIENCE DIFFICULTY
WITH SCHOOL WORK!
• REST – lay in bed with the lights out, quiet. Yes!!! This
is HARD…but remember your body heals when sleeping.
If you can’t sleep contact your physician.
• Slowly re-introduce activities as symptoms decrease…
NO sports/PE/physical activity until able to return to
daily function without symptoms for at least 5 days
and cleared by a medical professional (doctor, or nurse
practitioner).
WHAT ABOUT RETURNING TO SCHOOL?
 Take it slow at first, if symptoms increase report them
immediately and rest. Avoid areas that cause an increase
of symptoms, such as—cafeteria, gym (NO PE/weight
training), commons area.
Talk with teachers about school work – be sure you
understand the instructions, ask for a copy of class
notes, take breaks as needed, ask about getting help
outside of school (such as after school). Talk with our
parents, teachers, principal, counselor, doctor if you
are having difficulty keeping up with school work. (A
concussion does not give you a free pass on doing
school work.)
I want to encourage every athlete’s parent to attend, because we will be discussing valuable information
that will help your child be successful in the Fort Osage Athletic Program. This meeting will give you
an overview about our entire athletic program and provide information about insurance, eligibility,
fees, MSHSAA requirements, rules, and other pertinent information. You will also have the opportunity to listen to your son/daughter’s head coach about sport specific information.
 A PARENT needs to communicate with teachers about
school work and grades.
 STUDENT MAY EXPERIENCE DIFFICULTY
WITH SCHOOL WORK!
WHAT ABOUT ATHLETES?
They will check in daily to the school nurse during the
school day. Athletes will also report daily to our Athletic
Trainer before attending practice. Some students will
be allowed to watch practice while others may be sent
home to continue to rest. All athletes must complete a
“Return to Play” progression, after being cleared by the
physician, or approved MSHSAA provider (the ER cannot ‘clear’ an athlete) before full participation in sports.
HONESTY IT THE BEST POLICY – report symptoms.
A repeated concussion or not completely healing from
a concussion could cause permanent changes/damage.

Educating Missouri’s
Homeless Children
The McKinney-Vento Act, part of the No Child Left Behind Act of
2001, guarantees homeless children and youth an education equal to
what they would receive if not homeless.
Who is Homeless?
According to the McKinney-Vento Act, homeless children and youth
include individuals who lack a fixed, regular and adequate nighttime
residence. This includes the following situations:
r Sharing the housing of others (known as doubling-up) due to loss of
housing or economic hardship
r Living in motels, hotels, trailer parks or camping grounds
r Living in emergency or transitional shelters
r Abandoned in hospitals
r Awaiting foster-care placement
r Living in a nighttime residence that is a public or private place not
designed for or ordinarily used as a regular sleeping accommodation
r Living in cars, parks, abandoned buildings, substandard housing, bus or train stations, or similar settings
Contact us today!
The McKinney-Vento Act also recognizes unaccompanied youth who are homeless. According to the act, an unaccompanied
youth is a youth not in the physical custody of a parent or legal guardian.

www.fortosage.net/fortdiscovery
Which School Can a Homeless Child Attend?
There are two choices for a student in a homeless situation — the school of origin and the school of residency. The school
of origin is the school the child attended when permanently housed or the school in which the child was last enrolled. The
school of residency is the school serving the area where the child or youth is currently physically dwelling. When determining
the school of best interest, a homeless child or youth should remain in the school of origin (to the extent feasible) unless doing
so is contrary to the wishes of the parent or guardian or to the wishes of the unaccompanied youth.
Contact us today!
816-650-7449
www.fortosage.net/fortdiscovery
Enrollment
The McKinney-Vento Act requires the immediate enrollment of homeless children and youth. These children must be allowed
to attend school even if they are unable to produce previous academic records, immunization and medical records, proofs of
residency, birth certificates, or other documentation that is usually required.
Transportation
School districts must provide transportation for homeless children and youth to the school of best interest. Districts must
also provide transportation during the resolution of any pending disputes. While disputes over enrollment, school placement
or transportation arrangements are being resolved, students must be transported to the school of choice of the parent or the
unaccompanied youth.
The Homeless Coordinator
A school district’s homeless coordinator plays a vital role in ensuring that children and youth experiencing homelessness enroll
and succeed in school. The McKinney-Vento Act requires that every school district appoint a homeless coordinator who serves
as the link between homeless families and school staff, district personnel, shelter workers and social-service providers.
