Dear Parents,
We want to make you aware of what seems to be the latest viral challenge targeting children. It is called the Momo Challenge, and it centers around a disturbing character suggesting dangerous tasks for kids to perform. From what we have learned, these and other suggestions can also be found spliced into some YouTube Kids videos, including Fortnite and Peppa the Pig. This challenge also occurs through an app called WhatsApp, which could function on both phones and tablets.
We recommend that you talk to your child about these kinds of challenges, in a way that you feel is appropriate for their understanding. Given the connection and concern with messages within YouTube Kids videos, we also recommend that you monitor what your child is watching and screen the videos, even if they appear to be safe, to ensure their viewing does not include harmful messages.
The links below offer some information about the Internet hoax and resources to help you set rules at home:

- CNN - “Parents, please stop freaking out over the Momo Challenge”
- Common Sense Media - “13 Online Challenges Your Kid Already Knows About”

In our schools, we are aware of this trending issue and continue working to ensure students follow safe Internet use. Throughout the school year, our teachers reinforce the expectations for safe use and responsible practices described in our Student Digital Safety contracts. They also use the Common Sense Media resources and our lesson bank to teach grade-specific digital citizenship lessons.
If you have any further questions, please contact your child’s school.

As students become more comfortable about walking or riding bikes between school and home, we want to be sure they stay alert and safe. Please talk to your child about how to stay safe while traveling to and from school.
Some suggested reminders are:
1. If possible, don’t walk or ride alone.
2. Stay aware of your surroundings. Watch where you’re going and what is happening around you.
3. Tell someone where you are going and when you will return.
4. Use cross walks and obey traffic signals.
5. Avoid strangers, and tell an adult right away if any suspicious people approach you.
Thank you for being our partner in student safety.

We know that many families want to plan summer vacations that won't conflict with the start of school. Although the full 2019-20 school year calendar is not yet official, we have determined that students will start school during the week of August 19, 2019. The exact date within that week will be determined by Governing Board action at next month's meeting, on March 7th.
As you plan ahead, please bear in mind that our schools also schedule middle school orientations and kindergarten "round ups" in the days preceding the start of school.
Once the school calendar is official, we will post key dates on our online calendars, websites, and on campus bulletin boards.

Untreated dental problems can cause intense pain and adversely affect nutrition, growth, and ability to pay attention in class. This week, in observance of National Children's Dental Health Month, teams of volunteer dentists and their assistants are providing free dental screenings to more than 1,000 students in our schools. It is part of a nation-wide program that aims to identify dental problems early, educate children about good dental hygiene, and help to connect families to dental care if they need it.
Nurses at Campbell Union School District's schools will follow up with the families of children found to have serious dental issues. Those who do not have regular dentists will receive assistance in getting dental care through the Dental Society volunteers.
"We want to help catch dental problems early," says Dr. Zarkesh, President of the Santa Clara County Dental Society, pictured here providing a dental screening to a student. "And it's fun being with the kids."
The Dental Society coordinates the local event. This month, they will provide free oral assessments for more than 5,000 students county wide.

Even if your child is not yet in 8th grade, volunteering as a panelist is a great way to get to know the process and help the students have this authentic public speaking experience.
The Eighth Grade Exhibition project is a promotion requirement for all 8th grade students. The pupils have researched topics, planned and completed a project related to their topics, and are ready to present their findings to panelists who will listen and evaluate their performance.
It’s Easy! We’ll show you what to do and even provide some refreshments!
If you are available any of the times listed below or have quesitons about being involved as a judge, please respond to Stephanie Day: sday [at] campbellusd.org () or 408-364-4200, ext. 6244.
Yes, I would like to be a volunteer panelist:
