News from the Nurse
All 9th and 11th graders need to have a current physical on file in the nurse's office. Letters will be going out in early October to all those who are missing one. We will be starting school physicals in early November for those who have not turned one in. Every 11th grader needs to have a near and far vision screen as well as a hearing screen. If those screenings are missing from the current physical, those will also be done in November.
As always, if your child is sick, please keep them home. Please call attendance if your child will be missing school for any reason 607-758-4084
