Cold Weather
With the cooler temperatures and the crisp air, sickness is beginning to hit our families and school. As you give that last hug and kiss to your child before they leave for school, I encourage you to make sure they are dressed appropriately for the weather. Unless it is raining, most likely recess and gym class will be outside. Please, make sure they have a warm jacket, hat and gloves if necessary. Please be sure to label all items that come to school with your child. This makes returning lost items a lot easier.
Cold and flu season are upon us so I want to remind you that germs are spread very easily by coughing and sneezing.
Always cough into your elbow or tissue and then wash your hands.
Avoid touching your mouth, nose and eyes.
Remember to wash your hands before you eat.
Eat a well-balanced diet.
Get plenty of sleep.
These are all VERY important to keep us, and our children, healthy.
As always, if your child has flu-like systems, diarrhea, vomiting or fever I ask that you keep your child home. Your child must be symptom-free for 24 hours before returning to school. Please remember that your child needs an excuse upon returning to school.

Attendance Policy
Attendance Policy: In keeping with PA state regulations and the Tuscarora School Board policy #204, absences shall be treated as unexcused until the school office receives a written excuse explaining the absence. Written excuses must be submitted to the office within three days of the absence. If the office does not receive a written excuse within three days the absence becomes unexcused. After three unexcused absences the next unexcused absence becomes an unlawful absence which could lead to notification of the local magisterial district judge, as well as a referral to the County Children and Youth Agency. If you have any questions in regards to attendance or excuses received, please contact the school secretary at 328-3127 ext. 2500.
Dismissal Notes
DISMISSAL NOTES: Please understand that in order to verify that all students are leaving on the correct bus, or as a car rider or walker with the appropriate adult identified on the emergency cards, we need to maintain consistency in our routines and procedures. Please refrain from changing dismissal procedures for your child unless an emergency arises. Exceptions will be made and approved on an individual basis. Thank you for your understanding!
