A Few Words from the Principal
Students will be selecting the presentations they would like to attend on Monday, if they did not already do that today.
After the Career Fair, students will have the opportunity to learn about internet safety and the impact of their digital footprint.
We hope that students will come home eager to share about their day next Friday, but we realize that some of them may need some prompting from you to start the conversation.

Norovirus
There has been an increase of Norovirus in Johnson County. Please encourage your student to wash their hands frequently including after using the restroom and before they eat. Remind them not to touch their face-eyes, nose and mouth. Please clink on the following link for more information.
Hearing and Vision Screening-7th grade complete
7th grade students had their hearing and vision tested during their PE class. Those students who were screened will be given a letter with the results to take home to parents. Please check with your student for letter. Screening Result Letters will be given to your student next week during their PE class. You can also view results in Skyward under the Health tab, change display option to Show Tests. If you have questions please contact the school nurse. If your student failed the screening you will also receive an e-mail.Attendance
When reporting your student absent due to illness please leave a brief description of symptoms such as stomach issues, headache, fever, strep, flu. It helps to track illnesses in our building and reporting to health department if needed.
It is district policy to keep your student home until symptom free/fever free for 24 hours without medication. It will help to prevent the spread of illness.
Covid/Influenza quarantine policy
