According to the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, certification was designed to develop, retain and recognize accomplished teachers and to generate ongoing improvement in schools nationwide. It is the most respected professional certification available in K-12 education.

Created by teachers, for teachers, the National Board Standards represent a consensus among educators about what accomplished teachers should know and be able to do. The certification process requires that teachers demonstrate standards-based evidence of the positive effect they have on student learning in alignment with the Five Core Propositions. They must exhibit a deep understanding of their students, content knowledge, use of data and assessments and teaching practice. They must also show that they participate in learning communities and provide evidence of ongoing reflection and continuous learning.

Congratulations!

Replacement Levy Information

Dear Parents and Families,

 A measure which includes important programs related to your child’s education will be voted on in the February 11 special election.   In fact, every school district in Cowlitz County has a replacement levy on the February ballot to fund critical programs that are either not funded or not fully funded by the state.

 School funding is complex and can be confusing. Which is why superintendents from all districts in the Cowlitz County met with The Daily News last week to talk about the need for replacement levies. The article highlights how important local levy funding is to our schools. Read the story here.   You can find more information about the replacement levy for Longview Schools on our website.

 Please remember to vote by February 11 and thank you for your interest in Longview Public Schools!

Seasonal Flu Information

What is influenza? Influenza (the flu) is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses.

What are the symptoms of influenza?  The flu usually comes on suddenly and may include:  fever (usually high; ≥101°F), headache, extreme tiredness, dry cough, muscle aches/body aches, weakness, nausea and vomiting. Diarrhea can occur, but is more common in children than adults. Influenza causes mild to severe illness, and can be fatal.

Are there vaccines for influenza? Yes. The single best way to prevent the flu is to get a flu vaccine each year.

What can be done to prevent the spread of influenza?  Get vaccinated every year. Avoid close contact with people who are sick, stay home when you are ill, cover your mouth and nose, wash your hands often, avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth and practice good health habits.

How is influenza spread? The main way influenza viruses are spread is person to person by “droplet spread.” This happens when droplets from a cough or sneeze of an infected person are propelled through the air and deposited on the mouth, nose or eyes of people nearby.

How long do I keep my child home from school or child care? Your child should stay home from school or child care for at least 24 hours after the fever is gone – without the use of fever-reducing medications.  A fever is defined as an oral temperature of 100° F or higher.

Information provided by the Cowlitz County Health Department. To reach the Health Department call 360-414-5599, extension 6431.
