Reminders
Keep your children home if they are sick. All children who are sent home must have a negative COVID test and/or an alternate diagnosis from a doctor clearing them to return to school. A doctor’s note must be submitted to the school nurse prior to return.
COVID testing is offered to students in the nurse’s office.

**Free at home COVID tests are available. See the school nurse.
Physicals
All 7th graders and any 8th graders new to the Cortland School District are required to have a physical examination. If your child has already had one and you have sent a copy to the nurse, you are all set. If we have not received a completed health form, your child has been
added to the group of school exams. School physicals are offered Monday and Wednesday mornings.
Hearing and near/distance vision screenings are required also for these students. If not recorded on the examination form by your child’s provider, they will be called down by the school nurse to complete these screenings.
Attention 8th graders
Looking ahead to next year and moving up to the Sr. High. Physicals are required for all students in 9th grade also. Please, submit a copy to the school nurse.
Spring Modified Sports Season starts on April 4th, registration on FamilyID starts March 5th. Students must have a current physical on file with the school nurse to participate.

Boys PE News
The boys’ PE classes just concluded their Volleyball Unit. We will be starting an Indoor Rec Games Unit next. Whenever the spring weather allows, we will be headed outside to get some fresh air and sunshine!
Girls’ PE classes just finished their tour of the weight room. They have been learning the basics of lifting weights and getting stronger. The girls will be moving back into a gym on the cold spring days to play some rec games, and when it’s warmer they will enjoy the fresh air and get outside.
Math 7
Math 7 is in the middle of a Geometry and Measurement Unit, that includes 3-D shapes, area, perimeter and includes circles. (Hope all students enjoyed PI Day).
Math 7A is starting their Exponent Unit and then will move into a wide range of topics involving geometry.
