Nurse Update
Good Afternoon Linden Families,
This is Mr. Garcia with a message from all families with an important message from school nurses.
If your child had medication in school such as daily medication, an epipen, or an inhaler in school or is currently receiving new medication. The school nurses must receive a new medication order from the doctor and a new signed parent permission form as well as the medication. All medication must be brought into school by the guardian. Do not send the medication in with your child, the medication must be handed to the nurses and counted together. You can call the doctor’s office for a medication order and have them fax it to the nurses at (781) 388-0887, you can also email the nurses at lindennurses@maldenps.org or you can hand deliver it to the nurses on the first day back to school. When you arrive at school please call us at either (781) 397-7014 or (781) 397-1511 and we will come out to meet you. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank you,
Nurse Lauren and Nurse Nensi

November/December Updates
SEL/MH
LSA has been approved to begin the SEL
The SEL & Mental Health Academy is a project funded by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) to help schools and districts across the Commonwealth develop multi-tiered systems of SEL and mental health supports—classroom instruction, small-group support, and individualized care—that are effective, culturally sensitive, and sustainable.
Over a three-year period, teams from selected districts participate in annual institutes combined with ongoing professional development, coaching, and customized technical assistance. These supports are designed to help schools integrate social and emotional learning (SEL) and mental health with their current MTSS frameworks, and align new programming with existing priorities, systems, and practices.
The Academy addresses these areas of content:
Project Slice
Recently a team of teachers in multiple grades attended Project Slice. This was professional development that allowed teachers to experience Project Based Learning. Like an entry event for a project, a Project Slice carries a lot of emotional weight and creates a genuine “need to know” energy about PBL and how to make it happen for all students.
Art Supplies
Last Week Linden distributed art supplies to all students. If you didn’t pick them up for your child you can contact Linden and let us know when you would like to drop in for a pick up.
