Principal's Message
Happy New Year! I hope you and your families had a restful Holiday season and have entered 2022 with focus, renewed energy, and an ongoing commitment to our Roadrunnerâs success. We canât wait to spend 2022 with you and our kiddos and to fill the new year with new and fun learning experiences.
I would like to express my profound gratitude to all of you for the warm thoughts and gestures, kind words, loving cards, and thoughtful gifts that our school staff received during this holiday season. You and your families have made this holiday season so special. We are all so grateful to have each and every one of you be part of our school. Your kindness and gratitude remind us of our initial purpose in being early childhood educators. Your constant support and appreciation make us feel like we are succeeding in making a difference in our childrenâs lives. We are deeply grateful for all youâve done for the staff at Larsen.

Not Feeling well? Stay home.
HELP US STOP THE SPREAD OF COVID-19.
Observe your child for symptoms of illness before sending them to school. If your child says they do not feel well, please consider keeping them home to feel better. Also, if you do send them to school and they still do not feel well, please anticipate a call from the school nurse or health technician and plan to pick up your child at school.
Keep children at home who do not appear to be well, especially those with sore throat, cough, and runny nose. The presence of any rash excludes a child from school until a physician diagnosis is obtained.
A fever is defined by an oral temperature that is 100.4 F or higher. Any student with fever is excluded from school until 24 hours after a normal oral temperature of 98.6 is reached. In the case of a student absence, send a note explaining the absence. An absence of 5 days requires a doctor's note upon return to school.
A student who becomes ill at school is sent to the health office. If it becomes necessary to send your child home because of illness, you will be notified and requested to pick up your student. Please keep your emergency numbers current. Reminder: A Photo ID is required to sign out a student.
Continue wearing a mask. Safety First!

Responsible Use of Social Media
Since the opening of the school year, schools throughout the nation have experienced a variety of issues related to social media. While social media does have positive aspects such as connecting with family and friends and establishing virtual community networks, there are also other uses of social media that are not as productive. For example, there are monthly Tik Tok (a social media platform) school-related challenges that so far have included vandalizing school bathrooms, slapping teachers, and threatening violence towards schools. While some may consider these types of postings funny or witty, others do not. Being a citizen in the digital age comes with privileges as well as certain responsibilities that require the appropriate use of technology. The various Tik Tok challenges and Instagram pages are examples of the misuse of social media. Unfortunately, when social media is misused and a connection to the school is established, there are consequences. Some of these consequences may be considered harassing and menacing and could result in school consequences ranging anywhere from detention to suspension.
Students
- Donât make irresponsible, frightening, or threatening posts on your online accounts as they will likely result in serious legal and school disciplinary action.
- NEVER forward or re-post an inappropriate or threatening post or message that you see or receive online.
- Instead, report that post and/or message to an adult and/or school staff member immediately.
- Encourage your friends to be responsible internet and social media users.
Parents
- Be familiar with your childâs online activity, including all social media accounts.
- Donât be afraid to âfollowâ or âfriendâ your kids on their personal social media channels.
- Talk to your kids regularly about their use of the internet and social media and create a safe environment for your children to report internet activity or online posts/messages that make them uncomfortable.
- Be aware of the consequences (legal and school-based) of inappropriate use of the internet, including forwarding or re-posting of inappropriate or threatening content, to your child and your family.
- Report inappropriate or threatening online content immediately to law enforcement or school staff.
