Spencer Elementary - February 21, 2020
Notes From the Office
YIKES! It Was the Stomach Virus This Week :(
Thank you (again) to everyone who called in on the attendance line this week and provided me with a few details to your child's symptoms! It not only helps me to provide an accurate count to the Health Department, but also helps the custodians when cleaning the classrooms each night as they try to deter the spread of the illnesses. We had quite a few cases of a Gastrointestinal Virus going around Spencer this week. Keep washing those hands!
Attendance
Attention Current 4th Grade Parents/Guardians
Parent Information Night for Incoming 5th Grade Parents…
Our annual Parent Information Night for incoming 5th grade parents will be held on Thursday, February 27th at 6:30pm in the Maltby gymnasium. If you have an incoming 5th grade student please plan on joining us for our parent orientation where we will be presenting information on scheduling, curriculum, Encore classes, lockers, lunch, bussing, and much much more!! This event is for incoming parents, not students – thank you.
Note from the District Nurse
A friendly reminder: when calling in your student, please give specific symptoms so we are able to track certain illnesses. Also, if your student has been diagnosed by a licensed professional then please state the diagnosis. Thank you!

BAS District Nurse
