A Message from the School Counselor

My name is Kimberly Karoses and this is my 13th year in the role

of School Counselor here at Woodland Elementary School. I

have been here since it opened! Prior to Woodland, I was an

elementary school counselor at Mapleview and Sunrise. As a

counselor, I teach Lifeskills classes to all classrooms throughout

the year. Lifeskills classes focus on developing well rounded

citizens who are aware of their emotions so they can excel at

problem solving, relationships and communication! I also meet

with students in small groups or individually. When I am not with

students, I am busy collaborating with teachers and parents to

problem solve challenges revolving around anything from

academics, behavior, social and emotional growth. I am on the

district trauma team, building safety team, the liaison for our new

PATH (mental health) program and PBIS coach. If it is good for

kids, count me in! If you have any questions or would like some

support I can be reached at 920-730-0924. Thank you for

sharing your child(ren) and supporting their learning the skills that

lead to success in school and in life.

FAMILY RESOURCE INFORMATION/

OPPORTUNITIES TO DONATE

You may or may not be aware that the Kimberly Area School

District has two clothes closets that are located in two of our

schools. One of the clothes closets is at Mapleview

Intermediate (920-788-7910) and the other is at Westside

Elementary (920-739-3578). If you would like to donate or are

in need of some assistance with resources, you can contact

Mapleview or Westside. In addition to the clothes, Woodland is

frequently being offered ways to support our families if they

should fall upon economic hardship. Please reach out to your

child’s teacher or school counselor if you are in need of any

assistance throughout the year.

When to Keep Your Child Home

Children should be kept home from school when they don’t feel well. It is important to get the rest they need to

recover, and to prevent the spread of germs to other children and the staff. If you are unsure of when to keep your

child home, please contact the school nurse or your family medical provider.

The following symptoms may suggest a communicable disease. Children who have the following symptoms should

be kept home from school until a doctor has seen them, they no longer have symptoms indicating a communicable

disease or they have received treatment for at least 24 hours for certain diseases.

SORE THROAT

An oral temperature of 100.4 or higher indicates a fever. If your child has a temp of 100.4 or higher at school he/she will be sent home. Your child must be fever free for 24 hours without the use of a fever reducer (Tylenol or Ibuprofen product) before he/she returns to school.

If a fever is accompanied by a sore throat, stomach ache or head ache it may be strep throat. Strep throat is diagnosed by a throat culture obtained at a medical clinic. If your child is diagnosed with strep throat, your child must be on appropriate antibiotics for 24 hours and fever free for 24 hours without the use of a fever reducer (Tylenol or Ibuprofen product) before he/she returns to school.

If your child has an episode of vomiting and diarrhea at school, he/she will be sent home. Anyone with these symptoms should stay home until symptoms are absent for 24 hours.

A cough may be a sign of many different illnesses. If a cough is accompanied by a fever, sore throat, body aches or any other symptoms you should keep your child home. Any cough that lasts for more than several days should be discussed with a doctor.

Rashes and infected sores needed to be diagnosed by a medical provider. Many skin rashes such as impetigo, scabies, chicken pox, Fifth disease or Hand Foot and Mouth disease are very contagious. Students may return to school once the rash has been diagnosed and treated for 24 hours or cleared by a doctor. Open sores from illnesses such as chicken pox and impetigo may need to be covered at school with bandages for several days.

Symptoms that prevent the student from active participation is usual school activities OR student is requiring more care than school that can safely provide.
