Sandlapper's Vision
Sandlapper will prepare every student academically, socially, and emotionally to be creative leaders in a global society.
Medications are not kept in the Health Room over the summer. All medications not
picked up from the Health Room by 12pm on June 2nd , 2023 will be discarded. We cannot give controlled substances such as Ritalin, Adderall, etc. to students to take home. The parent or guardian must pick up these medications. Over the counter medications (such as Tylenol) and inhalers can be transported home by students. Please contact Ms. Minger, Health Room Assistant (29009) or Ms. Carter, School Nurse (29010 or alcarter@richland2.org) if you have any questions. 803-691-4045.
In preparation for the SOAR program, Summer Reading Program, and the next school year 2023-2024, the medication permission forms are listed below. If your child is participating in the SOAR or Summer Reading Program, please complete and return the Health Update Form.
Thank you,
Alice Carter, RN

Summer Reading Pledge 2023
I, _________________, understand the importance of reading during the summer to maintain my reading progress.

Parents:
Children need free time in the summer to relax and enjoy the pleasures of childhood. So summer reading should be fun. Following are 6 tips to make reading enjoyable for your children this summer:
1. Read aloud together with your child every day. Make it fun by reading outdoors on the front steps, patio, at the beach or park. Also, let your children read to you. For younger children, point out the relationship between words and sounds.
2. Set a good example! Parents must be willing to model behavior for their children. Keep lots of reading material around the house. Turn off the TV and have each person read his or her book, including mom and dad.
3. Read the same book your child is reading and discuss it. This is the way to develop habits of the mind and build capacity for thought and insight.
4. Let kids choose what they want to read, and don't turn your nose up at popular fiction. It will only discourage the reading habit.
5. Buy books on tape, especially for a child with a learning disability. Listen to them in the car, or turn off the TV and have the family listen to them together.
6. Take your children to the library regularly. Check out The Richland County Library Summer Program (above). Check the library calendar for special summer reading activities and events. Libraries also provide age appropriate lists for summer reading.
