Notes From Our School Nurse, Mrs. Taylor
All immunization records, physicals, and dental reports are required on the first day of school. If you have not sent your child's records, please do so as soon as possible. Indiana requires all students have completed their required immunizations by the 20th day of school or they may be excluded from school until the information is provided.
Attention all 1st and 2nd grade parents:
If your child has had a change in their health status since the last school year, please call me with an update. I will be back in the office the week of August 14th.
Student Birthdays
If you choose, non-food items may be substituted your child may commemorate their special day by bringing a small treat for their classmates (pencil, bookmark, sticker, etc.), dedicating a book to the classroom (and placing a special birthday bookplate inside), or you may purchase birthday ice cream tickets for the class to be served in the cafeteria.
We do invite all students to visit the office on their special day for a treat from the staff!
