HEAD LICE and how to GET RID OF IT:
Tips to help stop the spread of headlice:
1) do not share hats
2) put hats in sleeve coats when not wearing them
3) pull long hair back in ponytails
4) use tea tree oil shampoo or products
5) use hairspray
6) do not share hairbrushes or combs
Diligent checking, using treatment products and pulling out ALL nits is the best way to get rid of head lice. Treatments are to be done twice to ensure that the lifecycle stops.
Absence Reporting on Inclement Weather Days
In past years when school buses have been cancelled due to inclement weather, parents/guardians of bused students were not required to report their absence. Only parents/guardians of walkers who chose not to come to school were to report absences.
NEW FOR 2019-2020: All parents/guardians are asked to report their student’s absence regardless of the reason, including when there are bus cancellations. Often, bused students find alternative ways to school and we want to ensure we know a student’s whereabouts to ensure their safety and well-being. Knowing who is supposed to be at school will allow school office staff to best ensure all students are accounted for. Students will report to their classroom teacher for attendance at 9:20 am as they would normally do on a regular school day. This allows school office staff to quickly determine who isn’t at school and launch SafeArrival calls to a student’s designated contacts. We appreciate your support and understanding as we work to enhance practices that ensure student safety.
