ThinkStretch 2012
ThinkStretch is a partnership between Parents, Students and Teachers.
We hope that you will support your student this summer with the ThinkStretch Summer Learning Program. Research out of Johns Hopkins University is conclusive—all students lose up to 2.6 months of learning if they do not actively engage in summer learning activities. Saline Area Schools is making a commitment to “Stop Summer Brain Drain!”
Our students (and you!) have worked very hard this school year…please help us help you to keep the learning going! Saline Area Schools is making available a grade specific Summer Learning Workbook and a Parent Guide to Summer for only $10. The workbook meets national standards for learning outcomes by grade and is formatted in a concise and doable workbook. Each week, for 8 weeks, your student will read, complete a writing activity, practice math skills and enjoy a bonus activity.

ThinkStretch Summer Learning Program Online Ordering
At the beginning of the 2012/13 school year, your student will turn in the summer learning workbook to his/her new teacher. Students will receive a bronze medal for completing 4 lessons, a silver medal for 6 lessons and a gold medal for completing 8 lessons.
Parents are KEY to the summer learning program and without your partnership it is not possible. The PTA/PTO organizations at Harvest, Pleasant Ridge, Woodland Meadows, and Heritage are supporting this effort by teaming up to help coordinate orders, get the workbooks distributed and collect completed workbooks in the Fall. Together we are encouraging you to “Keep it simple but keep it going!”

An Alert Message from Washtenaw County Public Health Department
TO: Families at Heritage School
FROM: Monique Reeves, MD, MPH
Medical Director
Washtenaw County Public Health
DATE: April 16, 2012
SUBJECT: Pertussis (Whooping Cough) Alert in Your School
A student in your school has been recently diagnosed with a case of pertussis. Pertussis is a highly contagious disease that can be severe, particularly in young children. Pertussis can spread easily among susceptible household members and in group settings such as schools, childcare centers, workplaces, and sports teams. Adolescents and adults are at risk for infection with the disease since vaccine protection decreases over time. Washtenaw County has experienced a large increase in reported pertussis cases during the past two years.
Main goals of disease prevention:
- To protect vulnerable infants and children who are too young to be immunized or who have not been given vaccine
- To break the chain of disease transmission in the community
Recommended actions:
- For people of all ages, call your health care provider if you have the following symptoms:
· Cough that comes in bursts (intermittent)
· Vomiting after coughing spells
· Cough lasting 7 days or more (with or without a “whoop”)
- Review the immunization status of all students and staff:
· Children under 18 months of age should have received 4 doses of pertussis vaccine (DTaP, DTP).
· Children in Michigan should receive a 5th dose of vaccine after the age of 4 years, prior to entering kindergarten.
· A pertussis containing vaccine (Tdap) is available for persons aged 7 years and older.
· No vaccine is 100% effective, and it is possible for fully immunized children to experience a modified form of pertussis.
If you have questions or concerns, please call your health care provider or contact the Health Department at (734) 544-6700.
If you have any additional questions or concerns, please contact our district nurse, Karan Hervey at (429-8000, extension 3211).
