As we enter the winter months we would like to review our procedures for weather related delayed openings or closings. Saint Mark School follows the lead of Bristol Township School District only. If you see Bristol Township delayed or closed Saint Mark will be also. You will be notified via phone call of any emergency or weather related closings or delays. We also will put a bulletin on stmarkbristol.com or on our Facebook page. CARES does not operate when we close for emergencies. All parents filled out an emergency closing form at the beginning of the school year. Please discuss with your child what they are to do if school unexpectedly closes early.

FROM THE NURSE

Pennsylvania requires dentals for Kindergarten, grade 3 and grade7, and physicals in kindergarten and grade 6. If you have not sent in your forms please do so ASAP. If you prefer our doctors do the dental or physical, please send a note to school. If you need a new form they can be downloaded from our website.

IT’S FLU SEASON

In addition to an annual flu vaccination, other ways to keep yourself and your family healthy during flu season are:

• Wash hands often: use soap and water or hand sanitizer to stop the spread of germs.

• Stay home if you don't feel well: keep germs from spreading to others.Any child with a temperature of 100 or more should stay home.

• Cover your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze: use a tissue or cough into your elbow.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth: germs spread this way.

• Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that may be contaminated with germs: this is particularly important when someone is sick.
