The weather outside is frightful but the time is getting so delightful with 8 more days until Christmas Break!!! Thank you for continuing to keep your schedule as much as possible and provide standards based lessons with engaging activities. I know this is an extremely busy time, and you have a lot to accomplish, don’t forget yourself and your family. Thank you for all you do for all your students each and every day, but also I know you need to take care of yourselves and please make sure you do this. Please join us for the Faculty Celebration on Thursday, if possible, we are excited to spend time together with GREAT food.

Flu Season is Here!
You have been doing a great job of letting me know when you have a confirmed (diagnosed by a doctor- does not have to be tested/a or b determined) case of the flu. So far we have not had more than one case in any given classroom. This is just a reminder to continue letting me know because these cases get reported by me to the county- sometimes parents tell their child's teacher, but don't remember to tell me or Mrs. Kieffer. Remember to keep using your sani spray on surfaces, encourage handwashing and hand sanitizer, and keep yourselves healthy!!!
