CBA Elementary Lion Link 🐾
Your link between home and school | December 8
Hello CBA Families,
Welcome to your weekly edition of Lion Link, your link between home and school!
Thank you for joining us at this week's Parent/Teacher Conferences. We appreciate the opportunity to have meaningful conversations about your children's academic and social progress in the first trimester. Together, we can ensure that your child receives the support and guidance for a successful year! If you did not get to meet with your child's teacher, please reach out to schedule a meeting.
We are excited to share all that your children have accomplished in specialty classes as well. Our art, music, Spanish, gym and technology teachers have put together newsletters to share the amazing opportunities students have been a part of in the first trimester. Please see below.

Sick Policy
Families assist us in maintaining a safe and healthy environment for all our Children by keeping sick Children at home. The purpose of our sick child policy is to:
- Reduce the spread of illness from a sick Child to other Children and members of School staff.
- Promote complete recuperation of the sick Child.
- Prevent the constant spread of cold, flu and diarrhea and other communicable diseases that are common among small children.
Children who become ill at school will be made comfortable and families will be notified to pick them up within one hour. Families must keep sick children at home until they have been symptom-free for at least 24 hours* if they display any of the following:
- Fever of 100.4 degrees or more. Children must be free of fever for at least 24 hours, unassisted by fever-reducing medication before returning to school.
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Sore Throat
- Skin Rash
- Head Lice
- Heavy nasal discharge requiring frequent wiping every 3-5 minutes
- Persistent, non-productive or barking cough
- Fussy, cranky behavior unlike the Child
- Symptoms of communicable disease such as pink eye, measles, chicken pox, mumps, or strep throat
