Dear Parents:
Now that the cold weather is upon us, we want to ask you to remind your child to wear a coat, hat, pants, and mittens or gloves to school. We are outside for recess when the actual temperature is 16 degrees or above. A shortened “cold weather recess” will be in effect when the temperature and/or wind chill is between 15 and 20 degrees. In order to protect the health of our students, we want children to go outside wearing adequate protection.
Thank you for your help in reminding your child to wear his/her winter gear to school.
Teacher Email is Up and Running!
Thank you for your patience as we navigate through our Network Disruption. Our teachers are utilizing their email. If you would like to email your child(ren)'s teacher, you may find their contact information attached. Please be mindful that teachers may not read their email until the end of the school day.
Thank you,
Dr. Heineck

NURSE'S CORNER
Due to recent concerns about lice in our community, our health suite would like to relay the following information. According to the Center for Disease Control and other health authorities, head lice are not a health hazard or sign of uncleanliness and not responsible for the spread of any disease. Head lice are common among children. Lice can be readily transmitted in schools, homes, camps, backyards, and playgrounds; almost any community setting. Nits (lice eggs) that are not viable (1/2 inch or more from the scalp) do not cause the spread of head lice.
If your child or a family member have nits/lice, please remember to contact your school nurse so she can help guide you through the care process for you and your family. Also, please remember to reach out to those close to you. Children may have connections with others in many different grades and schools so this is the best way at getting the word out. Remember, lice can be present in any community setting so frequent head checks by parents can be helpful throughout the school year.
