Dear Parent/Guardian,
Your child may have been exposed to scabies. Scabies is a contagious, intensely itchy skin condition caused by a tiny burrowing mite. It is spread quickly through close physical contact with an infected person or their personal items/clothing and causes a pimple like skin rash that may affect various areas of the body. A person is considered contagious until mites and their eggs are destroyed through treatment. Treatment includes a topical and/or oral medication as well as washing all items (bedding, clothing, cloth toys, etc) in hot water.
I have attached information on scabies from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. If your student shows signs of a scabies infection they will need to be examined by their physician. If they are found to have scabies they will need to be excluded from school until the morning after their first treatment.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact me by email at lindy.williams@nlcsd.org or by phone at (319) 367-0507.

NLCSD - will have a 2hr delay today, 1/23/2020.
Anyone who is interested is invited to attend a presentation by Vern Reed in the New London HS Auditorium at 2:30 on Jan 29th. Mr. Reed will be speaking about a program that we want to implement in NL called Bridges Out of Poverty. He will give an overview of the program. The Bridges Out of Poverty program consists of a 16 week class, meeting weekly, a workbook called Getting Ahead, participants, and a facilitator. People taking the class will learn the hidden rules of economic class, language registers and how to make a personal plan for building resources. The learning will take place in a non judgmental atmosphere with food and friendship. We hope to see many citizens and parents at this informational meeting to strengthen and support the success of our community.

Dear Parent/Guardian,
Please be aware that there have been a few confirmed cases of influenza in our school district. Influenza is an infection of the nose, throat, and lungs caused by the influenza virus. Someone with influenza can be contagious 1 day prior to having any symptoms and can remain contagious for up to 5-7 days after symptoms arise.
Common symptoms of influenza include:
Fever or feeling feverish/chills
Cough
Runny or stuffy nose
Sore throat
Muscle/body aches
Headaches
Fatigue
Sometimes vomiting and diarrhea may occur with the above symptoms
The influenza virus is spread mainly through coughing, sneezing and simply by talking. It is important to practice good hand hygiene and be sure to cover our coughs and sneezes. Try to avoid others who are ill and keep your hands away from your eyes, nose, and mouth. It is important to get plenty of sleep, eat balanced meals and drink adequate amounts of water. If you have not, it is suggested by the CDC for anyone over the age of 6 months to obtain a flu shot.
The health and safety of our children here at New London Community School District are of primary concern to the staff. In order for your child to be fully available for learning, they must be in good health while at school. Please keep your child home until they have been fever free for at least 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medications (tylenol, ibuprofen, advil, motrin, aleve, etc). If your child has had vomiting or diarrhea, please keep them home until at least 24 hours after the last episode. Keeping your child home when ill helps them heal faster and can help prevent the spread of illness to others. If we all work together, at home and school, we will make a difference in the lives of our children.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me by phone (319) 367-0507 or by email at lindy.williams@nlcsd.org.
Sincerely,
Lindy Williams, RN

Please mark your calendars for this years Dollars for Scholars Auction. This is a great opportunity to come out and support current and future New London Students. We have a dedicated group of individuals that make sure this auction happens every year. We cannot thank them enough for all of the hours they dedicate to our students and our school district.
Dollars for Scholars Auction

Charles Lorber Gymnasium
Doors open at 5:00 with a free will donation meal
and the auction starts at 6:00.
Since 2002, we have awarded over $97,500 in scholarships to New London Graduates.
Part of the auction proceeds are given out as current year scholarships and
the remainder of the proceeds are held for future graduates’ scholarships.
So regardless if you have a preschooler or a senior the funds raised are to benefit your child’s future.
In addition to community members and businesses, many of the K-12 classrooms and staff have made baskets for this year’s auction and they are excited to share them with you. We will have a supervised children’s area again this year sponsored by Two Rivers Bank & Trust.
