This year, parties for Valentine's Day will be held on Friday, February 10, from 2:30-3:30 p.m. Lead room parents may go down to the classrooms at 2:15, all other visitors & volunteers will be allowed down at 2:30. Everyone must present a valid photo ID to attend the party.

Students attending clubs, tutoring, and other activities before school should meet the sponsor no earlier than 5 minutes prior to the start time; there is no supervision available before that time. Students arriving late must be accompanied by an adult and enter at the office. Club sponsors will communicate via email if the club is canceled for the day.

Please note, if the district calls a delayed start due to weather, all morning activities will be canceled.

Our students have outdoor recess most days, even when it's cold outside. Please make sure your student is dressed appropriately for the weather. If you need assistance with obtaining a coat, hat, or gloves, please email the office.

Head lice can be more common in winter months, as children and families are in tighter quarters, gather for holidays and winter apparel gets shared and swapped. Here's some information to know regarding head lice:

• Head lice move by crawling and cannot jump or fly

• Head lice are mostly spread by direct head-to head contact—for example, during play at home or school, sleepovers, sports activities, or camp

• It is possible, but not common, to spread head lice by contact with items that have been in contact with a person with head lice, such as clothing (hats, scarves, or coats) or other personal items (combs, brushes, or towels)

• Head lice transmission can occur anywhere- home, the community, school, etc.

• Head lice are spread most commonly by direct head-to-head contact but they can also be spread by sharing clothing or belongings onto which lice have crawled or nits attached to.

Prevention of cold, flu and other viruses:

• Wash hands often
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick
• Don't touch your face with unwashed hands
• Thoroughly clean surfaces that are touched often

Please remember, your student must be fever/vomit/diarrhea free for 24 hours without the use of medication before they can return to school.
