MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
It is hard to believe we are heading into Thanksgiving break next week! We hope to see many of you at the Grosse Pointe Parade on Friday, November 23rd. Kerby will be participating as a school and there is information included in this newsletter on how to sign up if you and your family would like to join.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving break! Be sure to find time to practice Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw.
Take care,
Dr. Delgado

NEWS FROM THE OFFICE
- With cold and flu season upon us please keep in mind that when your child is running a fever and/or vomiting, they must remain home for 24 hours. They may return to school when they have been fever free and/or vomit free for 24 hours without medicine. Thank you for your cooperation with keeping all students healthy.
- Cooler Temperatures - as the cooler temperatures approach please make sure your child has warm enough clothing to go outside at recess.
- Label all outer wear!!! This really does help when we have 360 students. Items get left behind regularly.
- Please remember to call the attendance line (313) 432-4201 if your child will be out. Leave your child's full name and reason for absence. Thank you.
