A Message from our School Clinic
Our School Nurse is starting a hand washing initiative with our students. Ask your child about how hand washing prevents the spread of germs.
When your child is sick, please refer to the policy below before having them return to school. We want all of our students here, but we also want them all healthy!
Thank you!
