recognition
at

the

(October
will
focus

Concern

others.)
Please
be
sure
to
ask
your

what
s/he
learned
about
responsibility
at

s/he

Dengue
Fever:
The
Deng
Hemorrhagic
Fever
is
caused
by
the
Dengue
virus
and
transmitted
to
human
by
the
Aedes
aegypti
mosquito.
Infection
occurs
throughout
the
year,
but
it
is
more
common
during
the
rainy
season.
Dengue
fever
symptoms
include
fever,
headache,
muscle
and
joint
pain,
nausea
and
vomiting.
During
dengue
season,
be
careful
when
using
antipyretics
(fever
reducing
medication)
for
your
child:
some
antipyretics
can
cause
serious
bleeding
during
the
critical
stage.
Drink
fruit
juice
or
oral
rehydration
solution.
During
the
rainy
season,
please
get
rid
of
mosquito
breeding
sites
(household
water
containers,
buckets,
old
tires,
barbecue,
toys,
etc.),
and
use
mosquito
repellent
suitable
for
your
child.
Most
importantly,
visit
your
doctor
if
your
child
displays
the
symptoms
of
Dengue
Fever.
Measure
of
Academic
Progress
(MAP)
Testing
Coming
Soon:
For
two
weeks
in
late
September/early
October,
QSIP
will
administer
the
fall
round
of
MAP
testing
for
all
students
age
7
through
Secondary
2.
These
tests
are
designed
to
help
the
school
gather
some
important
student
group
performance
data
in
the
areas
of
mathematics
and
reading.
The
school
will
be
using
the
performance
data
gathered
from
the
tests
to
help
us
determine
how
well
our
school,
as
a
whole,
compared
to
other
schools
in
the
world.
Parents
also
receive
data
about
how
their
child
is
performing
in
basic
mathematics
and
reading
skills
compared
to
other
students
in
the
world
in
the
same
age
group.
We
ask
that
parents
do
their
best
to
help
their
children
be
well
prepared
for
MAP
tests
by
ensuring
they
get
enough
sleep
during
the
testing
period
and
are
fed
balanced
meals.
Best
wishes,
