Please encourage your child not to jump off of the

steps of the bus. We are trying to teach the

children to hold the hand rail and step down on

each step when they exit the bus. The clothes that

are left on the bus are in the lost and found bucket

in the front hall way.

Labeling Your Child’s Clothes Please remember to label your children’s clothes

with their name inside so that if they are left on

the bus or playground we will be able to return

them to you.

Crazy Hair Day

Crazy Hair Day

Congratulations BIHS parents on 100% car seat usage

rate for the last 2 months.

You may have noticed that observations take

place regularly in the BIHS parking lot. The

purpose is to observe proper car seat usage. In

addition to observing for child car seat needs

and safety education.

We partner with the Office of Head Start and

California Rural Indian Health Board (CRIHB)

to be able to receive Car Seats for our families

and child passenger safety trainings/events. If

you need a car seat for your child, please let us

know so that we can install a new car seat for

your child.

ATTENTION PARENTS

Toddlers need about 12-14

hours of sleep in a 24-hour period. When they

reach about 18 months of age their naptimes will

decrease to once a day lasting about one to three

hours. Naps should not occur too close to bedtime

as they may delay sleep at night.

• Research suggests that sleep plays an

important role in memory, both before

and after learning a new task.

• Lack of adequate sleep affects mood,

motivation, judgment and our perception

of events.

• Although there are some open questions

about the specific role of sleep in

forming and storing memories, the

general consensus is that consolidated

sleep throughout a whole night is

optimal for learning and memory.

• Sleep plays a major role in the ability to

learn new tasks that require motor

coordination and performance. A resource from the Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical

School Produced in partnership with WGBH Educational

Foundation

Sleep

Positive Guidance Techniques

• Warn children at least 5 minutes before a change of

activity so they have time to finish what they are doing.

• Use specific statements rather than general statements. Keep

your words to a minimum.

• Learn to foresee, and prevent

problem situations.

American Heart Saver Pediatric

CPR, First Aid and AED Class at

BIHS

If you are interested in learning about how to help

save a life please let us know. Classes will be

offered throughout the school year.

CPR & Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) Facts: Anyone can learn CPR and everyone should! Sadly, 70 percent of Americans may feel helpless to act during a cardiac emergency because they either do not know how to administer CPR or their training has significantly lapsed. This alarming statistic could hit close to home, because home is exactly where 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur. Put very simply: The life you save with CPR is mostly likely to be with someone you know or love.

CPR, First Aid, AED Class Thank you to the students who attended the

CPR, First Aid, AED Class on Thursday, November 29th.

You all are great students!

Handwashing It is like a "do-it-yourself" vaccine—it involves five simple and effective steps (Wet, Lather, Scrub, Rinse, Dry) you can take to reduce the spread of gastrological and respiratory illness, so you can stay healthy. Regular handwashing, particularly before and after certain activities, is one of the best ways to remove germs, avoid getting sick, and prevent the spread of germs to others. It's quick, it's simple, and it can keep us all from getting sick. Handwashing is a win for everyone, except the germs.

1.Wet hands

2. Apply soap

3. Lather for 20-30 seconds

4. Rinse well under running

water

5. Dry hands with a paper

towel

6. Turn off water with

paper towel
