Help Us Stay Healthy!
It is that time of year again...
Help our class stay healthy by please keeping your child home to rest up and get healthy if they are sick! Please remember we have a 24 hour fever free school policy. Make sure your child has been without a fever (without medication) for 24 hours before they return to school. We will continue to wash our hands and clean our classroom to stay healthy!
