Big Week Ahead!
Next week is our annual Catholic Schools Week celebration. We take the time to celebrate our community through different events and activities. Please plan to participate in all that you can to help us have a fun and festive week. More information about the days and events can be found in this newsletter.
With the advent of cold, flu, and allergy season, please consider the following:
1) If you have any facial tissue available, please send as many boxes as you can with your child. Our supplies have been depleted already by the number of stuffy noses we've had this year.
2) DO NOT send your child to school if he/she is unable to comfortably handle their symptoms for the day. If their head hurts, nose is running, and their coughing interferes with their normal activities, they are not going to have a good day here, and they could be spreading their germs to everyone else.
3) Children must be FEVER FREE WITHOUT THE USE OF FEVER REDUCERS for 24 hours before returning to school - this is for their well-being as well as their classmates'.
4) If your child has been sent home from school due to illness, please discuss with the front office whether or not he/she is ready to come back the next day before sending your child to school.
Thank you for your cooperation in helping keep our environment healthy.
If there is anything we can do for you, please let us know!
