Please remember the importance of your child/children being at school each day! Make every effort to schedule appointments when school is out or in the afternoons.

Please keep your student home for the following reasons:

• Fever of 100.0 degrees or higher in the past 24 hours (must be fever free without Tylenol or Motrin for 24 hours before returning to school).

• Vomiting or diarrhea in the past 24 hours (no episodes of vomiting or diarrhea in 24 hours before returning to school)

• Known exposure to Covid and now experiencing Covid symptoms (fever, cough, chills, headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or body aches)
• Unexplained rash.

When in doubt, keep them out. We cannot diagnose or treat your child at school for illnesses. Please keep your child home if he or she is sick and see your primary care provider.

Covid PCR testing is available at each school in White County. Please contact your school nurse if you wish for your child to be tested when sick.

Please make sure you are leaving a space in the line for PreK parents where the line curves at the end of the parking lot. The line is so long and is blocking the entrance to the inside line for our PreK parents. PreK pick-up is not over until 2:45. Please make sure they have a space to enter the inside line.

When dropping off your student each morning, please do not get out of the car. This causes a disruption to the flow of traffic. We have parents that are trying to make it to work in time. If you wish to walk your child to the front door, you must park in the parking lot and walk them.

• The Gingerbread Baby is kind of like the story of The Gingerbread Man because they both have to run away from the fox.
