****************************************** Hearing ScreeningThe Brown County Health Department staff will be coming to Meadowbrook Elementary to provide Hearing and Vision Screenings for the designated grades and other requested students. The Hearing Screening will occur on Tuesday, November 15, 2016. All Kindergarten and 1st graders, any new students to the district, and any students requested by teachers or parents/guardians will be tested. If your child does not pass the initial hearing screening, a re-screen will be performed in four to six weeks to determine if there is a persistent hearing problem. If they still do not pass, a letter will be sent home indicating the importance of following up with a physician and/or audiologist. The screening is not a substitute for a regular examination by your physician but is meant to identify persistent hearing loss in children and bring it to the attention of parents/guardians and teachers.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you DO NOT want your child screened for hearing and/or vision YOU MUST contact your child’s school 662-5000 at least one week prior to the screening date to have your child removed from the screening list. ******************************************** Parent Literacy ResourcesSo often parents ask, “What can I do at home to help my child with reading?” Check out these Parent Literacy Resources:

American Education WeekAmerican Education Week—November 14-18, 2016. This week presents all Americans with a wonderful opportunity to celebrate public education and honor individuals who are making a difference in ensuring that every child receives a quality education.
As we celebrate education in Howard-Suamico, your actions and attitudes are proof positive that education is a powerful force. A student’s world is changed through learning. It is not limited, however, to a few subjects or simply “knowing” material. It transcends a grade on a paper, an answer on a quiz or a letter on a report card. When knowledge influences a student to think deeply about whom they are - and their personal responsibility as part of a larger community - we all benefit. When education does this, it becomes a catalyst for positive transformation. The world is changed through people who understand life and contribute their knowledge to making it a better place. On behalf of the 6,100 students, and their families, the Howard-Suamico School District thanks you. Join us in celebrating the people who are committed to providing a great educational experience for every child! ********************************************** Give A Kid A BookThe Friends of the Brown County Library announce and introduce three Green Bay Packers wives as the spokeswomen for the 28th annual Give-A-Kid-A-Book campaign. Molly Crosby, Monica Goode, and Jessica McCarthy, lead the campaign that asks individuals, families, businesses, churches, schools, clubs and organizations for the donation of new books that are given as holiday gifts for local children in low-income families. Books collected will be distributed through the Salvation Army’s Holiday Assistance program in Green Bay and through other community programs throughout Brown County that serve at-risk youth and promote year-round reading. You can help! Needed are new, unwrapped books for children – babies through age 18. We will be collecting books between now and December 10th. Drop them off in the box located in our front entry way.
********************************************** Speak Up 2016The Speak Up Research Project polls K-12 students, parents and educators about the role of technology for learning in and out of school and represents the largest collection of authentic, unfiltered stakeholder voice on digital learning. Since 2003, more than 4.5 million participants have shared their views and ideas through Speak Up. Education, business and policy leaders report that they use the data regularly to inform federal, state and local education programs. The Speak Up 2016 online surveys open October 12, 2016 through December 16, 2016. Please read more at Speak Up 2016 Flyer.
