A message from Mrs. Kelly, School Nurse
As we face what promises to be a busy flu season, it is important to reiterate a few important messages:
You must always use a thermometer to determine your child’s temperature BEFORE sending him/her to school. Any student who has a temperature of 100.0 must remain OUT OF SCHOOL until they are FEVER FREE for 24 hours WITHOUT the use of fever reducing medication. Students who complain of any symptoms such as sore throats, stomach aches, coughs or general malaise need to be assessed first by taking a temperature. Please keep in mind that the health of the rest of the school community should be your top priority when determining your child’s readiness for school. There are students in our school with chronic health challenges such as asthma, diabetes and neurological conditions that predispose them to become severely sick if exposed to the flu virus. Please keep in mind that determining a student’s readiness for school is “an art and a science”, but the science must always come first! Use a thermometer, report all information on the attendance line and remember that the health of the community depends on us all. Thanks for your support.

Bubble Wrap and Packing "Pillows"
The Lafayette art department would like any bubble wrap or small packing "pillows"(air sealed in small plastic bags) that you might be discarding from packages. They would make a wonderful base for some puppet forms. Please send donations to the Art Room.Please no styrofoam blocks or styrofoam "peanuts"
Thank you very much - Mrs. Kraemer
