Early Retirement Memo
8 months ago, Mike Schartiger

Several 911 centers around the state have received calls regarding active shooter situations at high schools. Preliminarily, it appears these calls have been false alarms, with no active shooter situations confirmed at this time. While these calls have been false, we are proceeding with a heightened sense of awareness today and the rest of the week. Additionally, we will remind all students and staff that if they see something suspicious, to report it immediately. The WVDE Office of Support and Accountability issued this reminder: Any threat against a school is not just a prank, it is a felony.
Each threat is taken seriously and thoroughly investigated. We are one hundred percent committed to continuing to ensure the health, safety and well-being of students and communities. We diligently work across departments and agencies to respond, monitor, and investigate these alleged threats.
The West Virginia Fusion Center, under the West Virginia Department of Homeland Security, is coordinating response efforts at the state level.
Please reach out for assistance or call the Safe Schools Helpline at 1-866-723-3982 or 911 to report suspicious activities at school facilities or events.

Test your child's nerves with this science experiment
To help your child learn how nerves work, fill three large bowls with water: one with icy, one hot (not scalding), and one room temperature. Have your child put one hand in the hot bowl and one in the cold for one minute. Next, put your child's hot hand in the room temperature bowl. Ask, "Is it hot or cold?" Do the same with the cold hand. Your child's hot hand will feel cold, and the cold hand will feel hot, even though both are in the same water. That's because nerves sense temperature changes relative to what they are used to.

Math makes sense when you spell it out
Writing numbers out in word form is a good way for your child to understand the mathematical concept of place value. Write a list of four or five numbers, such as 562, 73, 184, 16 and 43. Have your child write them in words: five hundred sixty-two, seventy-three, and so on. Then try it in reverse. Write down the words and ask your child to write the numbers.
