RCS Newsletter December 2015
Volume 1, Issue 4 The month of December has arrived and with the turkey eaten we can now
focus on the holiday lights, joyous music, and hectic shopping sprees that fill
our calendars this time of year. Here at RCS we are eagerly looking forward
to watching our students demonstrate their talents and skills as they
participate in the many holiday concerts and performances during this busy
month.
The first quarter has ended and parent conferences have been held. The
report cards should be used as a conversational tool to facilitate discussions that support your child’s academic growth. Now is an excellent time to
review goals and academic expectations to promote continuous learning.
Families play an integral role in enhancing the learning of students. We, as
the district, remain committed to our goal of fostering an increase in student
achievement through research based instructional practices and data driven
instruction while fostering a positive school culture. Working collaboratively,
the school and family can ensure success for all students.
As we move into the holiday season enjoy the time with family and friends.
Also, stop into RCS and take advantage of the many opportunities to see our
fabulous bright and talented students highlighted.

Principal’s Message
The Driver Education classes from Downsville and Roscoe attended the Broome County Teen Traffic Safety day at the Broome County Arena on October 15
th. The students received eye opening experiences on different driving situations
and distractions. Students competed in teams in the “Battle of the Belt” competitions as well as experiencing distracted driving situations (texting and driving, driving with ability impaired, etc..) with the use of simulators, and fatal vision glasses. Students also heard from Johnathan Mueller, who shared his story about when he was hit by a drunk driver. Johnathan suffered a traumatic brain injury and lies with deficits still today. The students also attended a session entitled “Let’s Not Meet by Accident.” UHS Heath Services demonstrated what happens after a crash, the rescue process, medical care of the victims, and the possible trauma and lifelong injuries on the body. Students also heard from Joe McCormick, one of New York’s leading prosecutors about the legal consequences of distracted, impaired or aggressive driving.
Student’s received a lot of useful information to help them make better decisions behind the wheel. Three local televisions stations covered the event, and many Roscoe students were shown on the evening news.

Dictionary Project
On Friday, November 20th, the Roscoe Kiwanis Club gave each third
grader at RCS a dictionary.
Mrs. Karrie Jara presented the
dictionaries on behalf of the club. The
gift was part of the Dictionary Project
sponsored by the Kiwanis each
year. The purpose of the project is to
provide third graders with a valuable
educational tool. Mrs. Robinson and
the third graders would like to thank
the members for their generosity.

Student Government Many students signed up and volunteered for the Kiwanis Roast Beef Dinner on November 4th. The blood drive that was on November 16th was cancelled, however there will be one in the spring. The t-shirt sale start-ed on November 12th and ran until November 19th. Students in grades 7-12 used non perishable food items collected from the Thanksgiving food drive to create a can-structure, which was judged and counted as an extra point towards Spirit Day competitions. The winners of the can structures were the 7th grade, the 9th
grade, and the 11th grade. We also have the toy drive coming up in early December.
National Senior Honor Society The monthly food pantry service day was on Wednesday, November 18th. We asked grades 7-12 to bring in Thanksgiving themed food items (stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, gravy, canned vegetables, dessert items, etc.) to ensure that everyone in our community enjoys a nice Thanksgiving dinner. On Thursday November 19th RCS Senior Honor Society members provided a babysitting service at RCS during parent teacher conferences. Also the National Senior Honor Society induction dinner was on Thursday November 19th in the RCS auditorium at 6:00pm. We’d like to thank Assemblywoman Aileen Gunther for supporting our participation in the Crop Walk. Don't forget to wear red on Thursdays during the month of December to support AIDS awareness!

Dear Pre-Kindergarten through grade 6 Parents;
The PATHS (Promoting Alternative THinking Strategies) program has contin-
ued once a week in your child(ren)’s classroom. Mrs. Walsh, LCSW has continued to be a great support to the
PATHS Program; giving the students the opportunity to maintain continuity with weekly instruction and the
benefit of a different style and perspective.
At the very core, of each PATHS lesson, are feelings. Students learn to recognize: the way feelings affect
them on the inside, on the outside, our own feelings, feelings in others, and how to manage our feelings ap-
propriately.
To help continue these discussions at home, you can find three posters on the PATHS page of the Roscoe
Central School Website:
• How Are You Feeling?
• Clues for Observing Emotions in Other.
• Clues for Observing Emotions in Ourselves.
Print and hang these posters on your refrigerator and use them as a conversation starter about PATHS or as
a way to talk about feelings at home. For more ideas, there is an article for parents on the News tab of the
PATHS web page.
Grade 5 continues to learn about the steps for Problem Solving while using actual school/social con-
flicts as a backdrop for this discussion. They have completed the red light: stop and calm down, identify the
problem, and identify the feeling. A printable poster can be found on the PATHS page of the Roscoe Central
School Website.
Grade 6 continues to learn about Bullying Hurts; Working Towards Kindness, Civility, and Human Com-
passion. They have discussed Layer 1: We have so much in common and Layer 2: There are ways in which
we are different-not less than other, not better than others, just different. There are five layers in all.
Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions.
Respectfully,
Dawn Dorcas, LCSW
School Social Worker

Page 5 Volume1, Issue 3
How we cope with failure and
disappointment can have a big impact on
our lives. It can affect our emotional well
being and how we relate to others.
Ultimately it can pave the way for our
successes, because achieving success is
nearly impossible without risking failure.
Some children find it especially
difficult to deal with setbacks, and this may
be something that parents have little or no
control over. Not everyone has the kind of
easygoing personality that helps them
avoid feeling overwhelmed when things go
wrong.
What parents can influence is the
way their children think about what set-
backs mean. One maladaptive pattern of
reasoning that people often fall into is to
focus on what their performance on a
particular occasion says about what they
are capable of accomplishing in general.
For example, a beginning musician who
makes a glaring mistake at a school concert
may begin to worry about whether she has
what it takes to be successful in music.
Many parents who hear their children voice
such self-doubts respond by praising their
skills. Although praising children's skills
seems like a good idea, it can backfire.
Children who receive this type of praise
tend to learn that they will be judged based
on the outcomes that they produce. When
this happens they often reason that if they
are being judged by their successes, they
are being judged by their failures as well.
This makes it even more threatening to
risk failure.
A better message to convey is that
difficulties and setbacks can serve as step-
ping stones for success. This message can
be hard for children to absorb because we
live in a society in which a wide range of
outcomes are evaluated, often in very
public ways. Another problem is that
people often hide their failures. When other
people’s failures are invisible to us, it can
promote the false idea that facing
difficulties in life is not normal.
So what can parents do to help
children deal with setbacks more effective-
ly? Parents can talk about their own
struggles and the struggles of people they
know, including some of the pathways that
eventually led them to success. How parents
respond to setbacks that their children
observe can also be important. A parent
who beats up on herself when she makes a
mistake may be undermining the message
that it is okay to fail.
It’s important to keep in mind that
teaching kids to persist in the face in
obstacles is not the same as teaching them
that it's never a good idea to quit.
Continuing an activity for an extended
period of time that your child doesn't enjoy
and that does not serve as a foundation for
future opportunities may not be the best
choice.
Parents can encourage their children
to overcome challenges by helping them
understand that obstacles are a natural
part of the learning process. It is only when
children give themselves a chance to work
through challenges that they can begin to
figure out what they are capable of.
Conversation Starters
•Can you think of a time when you felt
better about a problem you were having
after talking to someone who had the same
problem?
•Can you think of a time when you
wished you could hit the undo button on
something you did?
•What would you say to a friend who
was sad about making a mistake during a
musical performance?
•Is it a good idea for people to quit
activities that they find frustrating?

Influenza (Flu) Facts The flu is a contagious respiratory
illness caused by influenza viruses.
It can cause mild to severe illness,
and at times can lead to
death. Some people, such as older
people, young children, and people
with certain health conditions, are
at risk for serious flu complications.
The best way to prevent this
illness is by getting a flu
vaccination.
The flu usually starts suddenly and
may include these symptoms:
Fever* or feeling feverish/chills;
cough; sore throat; runny or stuffy
nose; muscle or body aches; head-
aches; fatigue (tiredness); and some
people may have vomiting and
diarrhea, though this is more
common in children than adults.
*It’s important to note that not
everyone with flu will have a fever.
Some of the complications caused
by flu include pneumonia, ear
infections, sinus infections, dehy-
dration, and worsening of chronic
medical conditions, such as heart or
lung disease, asthma or diabetes.
The flu is spread in droplets
released by coughing and sneezing.
It usually spreads from person to
person, though occasionally people
may be infected by touching some-
thing with virus on it and then
touching their eyes, nose or mouth.
You may be able to pass on the flu
to someone else before you know
you are sick, as well as while you
are sick. Most adults may be able to
infect others beginning 1 day be-
fore symptoms develop and up to 5
to 7 days after becoming sick.
Some people, especially young
children and people with weakened
immune systems, might be able to
infect others for an even longer
time.
Although the single best way to
prevent seasonal flu is to get
vaccinated each year, good health
habits often can help stop the
spread of germs and prevent
respiratory illnesses like the flu.
Other methods that can help
prevent the flu include:
•When you are sick, keep your
distance from others to protect
them from getting sick too.
•If possible, stay home from work,
school, and errands when you are
sick. You will help prevent others
from catching your illness.
•Cover your mouth and nose with
a tissue when coughing or
sneezing. If no tissue is available,
cough or sneeze into the bend of
your arm. It may prevent those
around you from getting sick.
•Washing your hands often will
help protect from germs. If soap
and water are not available, use
an alcohol-based hand sanitizer
that contains at least 60% alcohol
to clean your hands.
•Avoid touching your eyes, nose,
or mouth. Germs are often spread
when a person touches something
that is contaminated with germs
and then touches his or her eyes,
nose, or mouth.
•Practice other good health habits.
Clean and disinfect frequently
touched surfaces at home, work or
school, especially when someone is
ill. Get plenty of sleep, be
physically active, manage your
stress, drink plenty of fluids, and
eat nutritious food.
Taking the above precautions can
help keep your family and our
community healthier. For more
information on the flu, you can go
to the Center for Disease Control
website (www.cdc.gov/flu).
“BACK PACK”PROGRAM
The Roscoe Central School
District, in cooperation with the
United Way of Sullivan County,
will once again be participating in
the “Back Pack” program. This
program is designed to assist
children who are at risk of hunger
by providing small amounts of
food/snacks for the weekends at
home. We understand that a
financial hardship can put
families in difficult positions and
this program is designed to help
ease that burden. Your
participation is completely
voluntary and rest assured that it
will be as anonymous as possible.
You can participate for as long as
you need to, and you can remove
your family from the list at any
time as well. The program will be
administered through the health
office, with the assistance of the
7th grade class.
Backpacks of food will be sent
Page 7
home with your child on the
day before the weekend/
holiday and the pack must be
returned the following school
day.
Please contact the Health
Office with any additional
questions/concerns.
LIONS CLUB SCREENING
On November 13th,
two members of the New York
Lions See Program were at
Roscoe undertaking the
important task of screening
our students under the age of 6
for Amblyopia (lazy eye).
Mr. Wagner and Mr. Bury did
a wonderful job and were able
to evaluate 25 of our students.
These men volunteer their
time to go around the county
and provide this invaluable
service to our children. We are
most grateful! Thank you both
for your time and commitment
to this cause.
STUDENT HANDBOOK
REVIEW
Students are considered to be
late to school at the designated
time of start. Anyone entering
homeroom after 7:50 am is late
to school. If a student is late to
school, a pass must be
obtained from the School
Nurse before reporting to
class.
If a student is late to school 5
times within a marking period,
the attendance Officer/School
Nurse will submit a referral to
the Principal and consequenc-
es may be assigned. For every
subsequent 5 infractions, an
additional referral will be
submitted and consequences
may progress in severity.
*Participation in the day’s
extra- and co-curricular
activities (play practice, bas-
ketball games, dances, etc) will
be based upon a 9:30 am school
arrival time. The administra-
tion may make an exception
for special circumstances when
official documentation for a
deviation is provided.
