Health guidelines
Students should stay home from school for 24 hours after having a fever, and 48 hours after vomiting. We encourage resting for recovery!
Absences due to illness are excused; please send an explanatory note to the advisor within three days.
Students have three school days extension on missed work.
Resources for parenting
Making Caring Common , a project at Harvard's Graduate School of Education, has lots of thoughtful, helpful resources on parenting and educating our children.
Two of the topics I've been reading on lately are College admissions and Caring, Empathy, and Concern for the Common Good.
I also like A Parent's Resource Guide to Social and Emotional Learning from Edutopia.
You may find them interesting--thought I'd share.
