Looking at some of our data points support this change. In the month of September we have seen a 10.9% drop in absences and tardies over last year's numbers. That is a huge change and equates to more students in class every day on task. Thanks for your support and cooperation with the start time change.
Days and minutes add up!! Check out these stats!
I will keep the Titan Community up to date as we progress through this transition year. So far, it seems like the positives far outweigh the negatives.

NOTES FROM THE NURSE:
SEPTEMBER
Just a reminder that most everything we learned about preventing infectious diseases we learned from our moms & dads: Wash Your Hands, Cover Your Mouth & Nose When You Sneeze, Throw Away Your Tissues Promptly and then Wash Your Hands!
Influenza (the flu) is usually in season from October through March. Remember it is easily transmitted through the air (ie sneezing) & close personal contact. Cold & flu viruses can linger on doorknobs, telephone receivers and other surfaces. It is important to wash your hands frequently & try to avoid rubbing your eyes & nose or putting your hands around your mouth.
Regarding colds/flu here are some guidelines to use in determining whether your child should stay at home:
-Fever greater than 100.4 orally.
-Child is too ill, sleepy or lethargic to sit all day in school.
-Severe headache, especially if accompanied by a fever (contact your healthcare provider).
-Severe sore throat, with fever or lethargy, lasting longer than 48 hours (contact healthcare provider). Reminder: If your child has had a throat culture for strep, he/she may NOT be in school until the results are known. If your child is diagnosed with strep, he/she MUST be on antibiotics 24 hours before returning to school.
While we are talking about health, check out this video on the vaping epidemic. It is safe to say that there is no amount vaping that can be considered safe. Make sure your kids know the risks.
