At School
Once students are in the school building they are not to leave for the store. This is an issue of liability and responsibility.
Be prepared for learning: Students are best prepared for learning when they come to school with: a pencil, independent reading book and a charged Chromebook. Some students are being given supplies and leaving them on classroom floors or broken.
School Nurse Says! If your child is exhibiting flu like symptoms or vomiting/stomach issues the night before school, please keep them home. Students must be fever free for 24 hours before returning to school. It is important to encourage frequent hand washing and mindfulness for the health of others.
