Final Message to Grade 8 Families - June 15, 2021

posted Jun 15, 2021, 5:16 PM by Jorge Goncalves

Good evening NAMS Grade 8 families,

The purpose of this message is to provide you with final reminders about tomorrow’s Promotion & Awards Ceremonies and a few other reminders. You may find all of the information below in a google doc found here.

You may find the presentation I shared with grade 8 students here and a video explaining it here. I would encourage all OLA students who will be attending the ceremonies tomorrow to please review the presentation and video.

Grade 8 Promotion & Awards Ceremonies

Each of our Grade 8 Team’s Promotion & Awards Ceremonies will take place outside (weather dependent) at Hayes Stadium on Wednesday, June 16, 2021. Hayes Stadium is the fenced-in track and field behind NAMS and next to the ABECC and Atkinson Elementary School.

Each ceremony will take place at the following times:

Team 8A (10:00-10:45)
Team 8B (11:15-12:00)
Team 8C (12:30-1:15)

Recognizing that ceremonies are scheduled 30 minutes apart, we would ask that the bleachers and field are cleared for the next students and families soon after the end of each ceremony.

Dismissing Students - Survey will be closed at 6:00 a.m. on June 16th

If you wish to dismiss your child after the ceremony, please complete the google form found here. If you wish to dismiss your child and did not complete this google form, you will need to complete a sign out log. There will be staff members outside of the gate assisting with dismissal. One table will be for parents/guardians who completed the google form ahead of time and the other table will be for parents/guardians who did not. Parents/Guardians are only able to dismiss someone else’s child if that child’s parents/guardians completed the google form or you have a signed dismissal note from the child’s parents/guardians.

Additionally, if you are choosing to dismiss a sibling please follow our normal protocols outlined below.

NAMS Dismissal Protocols

When it is necessary to be dismissed early for a doctor’s appointment or other personal business, the student must bring a note from the parent/guardian stating the reason and the time for early dismissal. This note must be brought to the office before homeroom. Parents/Guardians may also email Lisa Hunter and Melissa Barron by 8:00 a.m. with the name of the student being dismissed, the reason for the dismissal, and the time of dismissal. Their emails are as follows: hunterl@northandoverpublicschools.com & barronm@northandoverpublicschools.com

If neither a note is brought to the main office or a dismissal email is sent, a parent/guardian must pick his/her/their child up at the office and fill out a dismissal form. Unexpected dismissals may take additional time due to students being outside away from the building for snack or outside classes.

Due to bus line ups and congested traffic, we strongly discourage parents/guardians from dismissing their child after 1:45 p.m.

All Promotion & Awards Ceremonies Maps

Video & Pictures

NA CAM will be filming this event whether it is inside or outside and a photographer from Geskus Photography, our school photographer, will be taking pictures of each student as they exit the stage. These pictures along with a NAMS Class of 2021 Mosaic print will be available for families to purchase after the event. Geskus will be providing parents/guardians unique codes to view their child’s picture before ordering.

Seating

Families will be able to sit in the smaller bleachers facing our students, who will be on the field within the track. Additional seats will also be set up on the track facing the stage and students. Families can also stand along the fence around the track and even bring their own chairs if they wish.

Recommended Attire for Promotion & Awards Ceremonies

This is the most formal event that takes place at NAMS. As such, students normally wear shirts and ties with comfortable shoes, sun dresses with comfortable shoes, polo shirts if a tie isn’t worn, and pants or dresses instead of shorts.

Promotion & Award Ceremonies Parking

There are approximately 50 parking spots available in our back parking lot, closest parking to Hayes Stadium, on a typical day. Additional parking may be found in the surrounding neighborhoods. If you are parking in the surrounding neighborhoods, we ask that you do not block driveways and fire hydrants. Please also leave space between the front of your car and a connecting street to keep lines of sight available for through traffic. The small parking lot closest to the field will be handicap parking only for this event, please see the maps below.

Restrooms for Promotion & Awards Ceremony

There are 2 Porta Potties available just outside of the Hayes Stadium gate. Their location is marked on the map below.

Meeting with Students after the Ceremony

We ask that families and students immediately exit the field and bleachers after the ceremony so that students and families for the next ceremony may find seats. You may meet your child in one of two areas marked on the map below outside of the track. Parking spots will become available as families exit the event.

Parent/Guardian-Organized Trip to Canobie Lake Park - June 18, 2021

I have received a few questions regarding this trip and wanted to share how I have been responding. This is not an organized school event and attendance is completely voluntary. Some families decided to take their students to Canobie Lake Park on Friday, June 18th and thought it would be nice to invite the entire NAMS Class of 2021.

Let's continue to celebrate the NAMS 8th graders as they move on to High School! Please join fellow 8th graders at Canobie Lake Park on Friday, June 18th. Tickets can be purchased online https://www.canobie.com/buy-tickets/

We hope to see you there!

Thank you,

COVID Vaccine Clinic - Additional Information

posted May 19, 2021, 3:41 AM by Jorge Goncalves

Hello NAMS Families,

We are thrilled to report that the first NAMS Covid Vaccine Clinic went very well and we want to update you with some information.

Our second dose vaccine clinic will be on June 7th. We will be in touch via email soon with additional information and consent forms.

We will be giving students their vaccination cards after their 2nd/final dose of the Pfizer vaccine series on Monday June 7. (If you have an extraordinary circumstance and need the card before that, please respond to this email to let us know. Please understand your student would need to bring the card back to school on June 7th to have it completed as we do not have extra cards to replace any lost cards.)

Here is some information about possible side effects from the vaccine and some helpful tips from the CDC website https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/expect/after.html

Thank you for the opportunity to vaccinate your student. If you have any questions, we are happy to discuss. Please call or email us in the Health Office.

Possible Side Effects After Getting a COVID-19 Vaccine

Updated Mar. 16, 2021

Languages

Print

COVID-19 vaccination will help protect you from getting COVID-19. You may have some side effects, which are normal signs that your body is building protection. These side effects may affect your ability to do daily activities, but they should go away in a few days. Some people have no side effects.

Common Side Effects

On the arm where you got the shot:

WhatExpectafterVaccinationAnimation_pain

Pain
Redness
Swelling

Throughout the rest of your body:

WhatExpectafterVaccinationAnimation_fever

Tiredness
Headache
Muscle pain
Chills
Fever
Nausea

Helpful Tips

Talk to your doctor about taking over-the-counter medicine, such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen, aspirin, or antihistamines, for any pain and discomfort you may experience after getting vaccinated. You can take these medications to relieve post-vaccination side effects if you have no other medical reasons that prevent you from taking these medications normally.

It is not recommended you take these medicines before vaccination for the purpose of trying to prevent side effects.

To reduce pain and discomfort where you got the shot

WhatExpectafterVaccinationAnimation_movearm

Apply a clean, cool, wet washcloth over the area.
Use or exercise your arm.

To reduce discomfort from fever

WhatExpectafterVaccinationAnimation_drink

Drink plenty of fluids.
Dress lightly.

If You Received a Second Shot

Side effects after your second shot may be more intense than the ones you experienced after your first shot. These side effects are normal signs that your body is building protection and should go away within a few days.

When to Call the Doctor

nurse

In most cases, discomfort from pain or fever is a normal sign that your body is building protection. Contact your doctor or healthcare provider:

If the redness or tenderness where you got the shot gets worse after 24 hours
If your side effects are worrying you or do not seem to be going away after a few days

If you get a COVID-19 vaccine and you think you might be having a severe allergic reaction after leaving the vaccination site, seek immediate medical care by calling 911. Learn more about COVID-19 vaccines and rare severe allergic reactions.

Remember

Side effects can affect your ability to do daily activities, but they should go away in a few days.
The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine needs 2 shots in order to get the most protection. You should get the second shot even if you have side effects after the first shot, unless a vaccination provider or your doctor tells you not to get it.
It takes time for your body to build protection after any vaccination. People are considered fully vaccinated two weeks after their second shot of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. You should keep using all the tools available to protect yourself and others until you are fully vaccinated.
After you are fully vaccinated for COVID-19, you may be able to start doing some things that you had stopped doing because of the pandemic. Learn more about what you can do when you have been fully vaccinated.
We are still learning how vaccines will affect the spread of COVID-19. After you’ve been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, you should keep taking precautions in public places like wearing a mask, staying 6 feet apart from others, avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated spaces, and washing your hands often. CDC will continue to update recommendations as we know more.

NAMS Vaccine Registration Reminder for ages 12+

posted May 13, 2021, 10:27 AM by Jorge Goncalves [ updated May 14, 2021, 11:25 AM ]

Good Afternoon NAMS Families,

This is a friendly reminder to register your child for a COVID-19 Vaccine if you so choose by tomorrow, Friday, May 14, 2021. We have approximately 445 students already registered and have asked for the website to increase its maximum capacity for registrations based upon high demand. Please continue to register if you were unable to previously.

Additionally, recognizing how much preparation will be involved to be ready for Monday, we are requesting that all signed consent forms get to our nurses by tomorrow, Friday, May 15th. We need your help in order to be prepared for Monday so please print, sign, and return those consent forms by tomorrow, May 15, 2021. Thank you for your anticipated support and cooperation.

Below you will find all of the previous information shared with you.

Please review the list of possibilities below as well as some FAQs to identify what, if anything, you have to complete.

1) I never registered my child for the Covid-19 vaccine.

What you need to do: Please skip 2 & 3 and read below how to register your child.

2) I registered my child but never printed and completed the consent form.

What you need to do: Complete the consent form found here, including signing. Please have your child(ren) bring the signed consent form to our nurses’ office by Friday, May 14, 2021 please. Parent/Guardian signatures are required for any students under the age of 18. You may also scan the signed consent and email the form to our nurses, see contact information below.

3) I registered my child, printed the consent form, and signed it.

What you need to do: Please have your child(ren) bring the signed consent form to our nurses’ office by Friday, May 14, 2021 please. Parent/Guardian signatures are required for any students under the age of 18. You may also scan the signed consent and email the form to our nurses, see contact information below.

4. I may have registered my child multiple times when trying to complete the registration process.

What you need to do: Do not worry. We can fix this behind the scenes.

5. My child is in OLA. Can he/she receive the vaccine? - Yes!

What you need to do: You should complete the process below and the time for your student’s appointment will be based on their grade level. If you have multiple children in different grades they can come during the same time slot.

6. My child is not yet 12 years old as of May 17, 2021 can he/she still receive the vaccine?

No. Unfortunately, the vaccine is only approved for children 12 and above therefore you will need to wait until your child turns 12. At that point you should be able to easily have them vaccinated at your pediatrician’s office or a local vaccination clinic.

7. How do I sign my child up for the second dose in the series?

What you need to do: A registration link will be provided to register for the second dose (June 7th) at a later time.

Do you need to register your child? Please read on…

North Andover Public Schools in conjunction with the North Andover Board of Health are partnering with Pelmeds Pharmacy to offer the 2 dose *Pfizer Covid-19 vaccination series to our students ages 12 and up on the following dates during the school day:

1st Dose - Monday, May 17th between 10:00-1:00 p.m.
2nd Dose - Monday, June 7th between 10:00-1:00 p.m.

All students will be vaccinated free of charge regardless of insurance coverage. If insured, please enter insurance information in the online registration. Once registered online there is no need to bring an insurance card to the clinic.

How do you sign up your child(ren)?

Appointments can be reserved here. Students will receive their vaccines at the following times regardless of what time you sign up for:

Grade 6 between 10-11
Grade 7 between 11-12
Grade 8 between 12-1

Please make sure to print and sign the consent form available after reserving your child(ren)’s appointment.
Please have your child(ren) bring the signed consent form to our nurses’ office no later than Monday, May 17, 2021. Parent/Guardian signatures are required for any students under the age of 18. You may also scan the signed consent and email the form to our nurses, see contact information below.
If you need assistance accessing or completing these forms please contact our nurses, see contact information below.

*The Pfizer vaccine was recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to expand the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to include individuals 12-15 years old. Clinical trials have shown vaccination in this age group to be safe and effective and can help protect children from getting sick as well as reducing the virus’ spread to others.
