Healthy Students Newsletter
In order for students post-concussion to get immediate and flexible support at school, classroom teachers must be our First Responders for Return to Learn. Much like a public health model where early and widespread identification, education and support occurs at the Universal/Primary Level, yielding an 80 to 90% intervention and prevention rate, Return to Learn supports in the general education setting will help our students feel better symptomatically so they can grow academically. Concussion research shows that 70% of students with a concussion will resolve within 28 days – that puts the “window of opportunity” for support squarely in the general education classroom!

Hello Peterstown and Mountain View families! We’ve set a goal to create a communi-
ty of lifesavers by getting everyone to complete Finn’s Mission and learn
Hands-Only CPR. When given immediately, Hands-Only CPR can double (or
even triple) a person’s chance of surviving cardiac arrest. If you haven’t done
it yet, complete Finn’s Mission today to learn this lifesaving skill and earn
special thank-you gifts.
This morning PMS had a little “Because You Are Here” pep rally. Fifth grade won the spirit stick for the loudest “I pledge to be present” chant. The First National Bank Of Peterstown sponsored shirts that were thrown out. We extend a huge thank you for their willingness to support our kids!
