Stone Bank School
Reaching Out ~ November 14, 2019
Celebrations
Stone Bank School has a great history of creating learning experiences that connect to holidays, celebrations and special events. This week we honored America’s Veterans with lessons, resources, and activities. In the weeks ahead we will be celebrating Thanksgiving with learning experiences, games, activities, and treats. We work to make sure all learning activities are developmentally appropriate, respectful, and build greater understanding and appreciation. In addition, our celebrations and learning experiences include families, alumni and community members.

Illness Guidelines
Health room guidelines for keeping a child home sick and when they are okay to return to school:
- Students with a fever of 100.4 degrees or greater should not attend school. They should be fever free for at least 24 hours without the aid of medications.
- Students with vomiting and/or diarrhea should not attend school. They should be symptom free for a minimum of 24 hours before they return.
- Students who are diagnosed by their physician and started on antibiotics for a bacterial infection (strep throat, pink eye, etc.) should remain home until 24 hours after the antibiotics have been started.
- Students who have a bad cough and/or persistent runny nose, unrelated to allergies, should also stay home.
Students attending school with these symptoms or who are at school while these symptoms develop, will not be allowed to return to class and parents/guardians will be contacted and asked to pick your child up. Students who are absent more than 3 days or upon administrator's request may be asked to provide a doctor's excuse.
