Your link between home and school | December 15
Hello CBA Families,
Welcome to your weekly edition of Lion Link, your link between home and school!
Congratulations to our 2nd though 5th grade students on an amazing performance at this morning's Winter Lights winter concert! It was a show all about the joy and light of the holiday season. We hope that it left everyone feeling happy and hopeful, ready to celebrate the holidays with family and friends.
Earlier this week, Mr. Rodia shared a fall update on the first few months of the school year. We hope you were able to review it. Looking back, we have had so many wonderful events, activities and accomplishments to be proud of.

Family Resources
Sick Policy
Families assist us in maintaining a safe and healthy environment for all our Children by keeping sick Children at home. The purpose of our sick child policy is to:
- Reduce the spread of illness from a sick Child to other Children and members of School staff.
- Promote complete recuperation of the sick Child.
- Prevent the constant spread of cold, flu and diarrhea and other communicable diseases that are common among small children.
Children who become ill at school will be made comfortable and families will be notified to pick them up within one hour. Families must keep sick children at home until they have been symptom-free for at least 24 hours* if they display any of the following:
- Fever of 100.4 degrees or more. Children must be free of fever for at least 24 hours, unassisted by fever-reducing medication before returning to school.
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Sore Throat
- Skin Rash
- Head Lice
- Heavy nasal discharge requiring frequent wiping every 3-5 minutes
- Persistent, non-productive or barking cough
- Fussy, cranky behavior unlike the Child
- Symptoms of communicable disease such as pink eye, measles, chicken pox, mumps, or strep throat
