Notes from the Teachers...
- You can access your child's grades at any time through Powerschool. If you need to know the login and password needed to access this, please contact the office.
- Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for the colder weather. We will still go outside if the temperature and wind chill are above freezing at our recess time.
- Please remember to keep a spare change of clothes in your child's backpack at all times in case of an emergency.
- Be sure to check your child's Dojo on a regular basis so you don't miss out on the great things going on.
- Remember you can support your child's learning by having them practice reading, sight words (if applicable), and complete their weekly math homework. IXL is also a great tool for more practice of what your child is learning while at school.

Nurse Notes
How long should I keep my sick child home?
- If your child gets flu-like symptoms without a fever, keep him or her home at home to lower the chances of spreading the illness to others.
- If your child has a fever, keep him or her home for at least 24 hours after the fever is gone without the use of fever-reducing medicines, such as acetaminophen. This will help ensure that the fever is truly gone and that your child is past the point of being contagious.
- Children with weakened immune systems may need to stay home longer.
Why is this important?
- Children need rest to recover from illness. Without enough rest, it can take your child longer to feel better. Staying home is also important because your child can spread the flu virus up to 24 hours after symptoms are gone.
- People with weakened immune systems often need even more time to recover and to stop being contagious.
These are the CDC recommendations.
Stomach Virus symptoms: Children should stay home from school or child care for at least 48 hours after the last time they vomit or have diarrhea. Symptoms of viral gastroenteritis in infants and young children — usually appear one to three days after exposure.
