Monthly Math Fact Competition-Students should be practicing math facts each night. The homeroom with the most facts mastered by the end of the month earns a class party! Xtra Math is a great resource for practicing facts.
Congratulations to Mrs. Hooper's Homeroom for winning for the month of December. Who will it be for January?
To ensure the success of your student, please have your child read at least 10 minutes each night. To help with comprehension, ask them questions about what they are reading. Agendas will be checked weekly.

Notes from the Nurse
How long should I keep my sick child home?
- If your child gets flu-like symptoms without a fever, keep him or her home at home to lower the chances of spreading the illness to others.
- If your child has a fever, keep him or her home for at least 24 hours after the fever is gone without the use of fever-reducing medicines, such as acetaminophen. This will help ensure that the fever is truly gone and that your child is past the point of being contagious.
- Children with weakened immune systems may need to stay home longer.
Why is this important?
- Children need rest to recover from illness. Without enough rest, it can take your child longer to feel better. Staying home is also important because your child can spread the flu virus up to 24 hours after symptoms are gone.
- People with weakened immune systems often need even more time to recover and to stop being contagious.
This is the CDC recommendations.
Stomach Virus symptoms: Children should stay home from school or child care for at least 48 hours after the last time they vomit or have diarrhea. Symptoms of viral gastroenteritis in infants and young children — usually appear one to three days after exposure.
