Office Notice
Please remember that you CANNOT TURN LEFT to exit the school parking lot after drop off and pick up. This causes delays in the morning and afternoon. Thank you for your help in this regard.
Nurse Notes
Even though we ask for a change of clothes to be present in each students backpack for emergencies, sometimes a trip to the nurse is still needed for clothing items. With that in mind, as we enter the Fall/Winter months, we are in need of some season appropriate clothing donations:
- 4 Boys Sizes 6-12
- 4 Sweaters/Zip-up hoodies
- 4 Girls Sizes 10-14
- 4 NEW Hair ties/Ponytails
CHILD SICKNESSES
If your child has had diarrhea or has vomited at home, please stay home until symptoms have disappeared for 24 hours without medication. Many students with a stomach virus DO NOT HAVE FEVER even when they have diarrhea and vomiting. If they have had a fever at home, they must be without it for 24 hours without medication before returning to school. Please see the regulations in "Health Services" for more information.
Also if your child has been diagnosed with the flu, please call the school and notify us. Thank you for your cooperation and support. Please do not hesitate to communicate with me if you have any questions or doubts.
