From the School Nurse
COVID is still around and FLU season is coming upon us.
Here are some ways to protect your child and your family:
1. Keep children who are sick at home. Don’t send them to school.
2. Teach your children to wash hands a lot with soap and water for twenty (20) seconds.
3. Teach your children to cover coughs and sneezes with tissues or by coughing into the inside of the elbow.
4. Teach your children to stay at least three (3) feet away from people who are sick.
5. People who are sick should stay home from work or school and avoid other people until they are better.
If you are unsure whether your child should attend school or not feel free to contact Nurse Angie at (540) 438-1965 or email atusing@rickingham.k12.va.us.

Attendance
Parent Portal
The parent portal is an online portal accessible anywhere on the web that parents can log in to and see all of their children in one place, their grades, assignments, scores, attendance, schedules, and teacher comments for each school your children attend.
Parents need to contact the school to get access information to create an account in PowerSchool.
