Note from our Nurses
Hinkle Creek Families,
Thank you for the way you have carefully monitored your children's health as we have tried to keep Covid out of our school. While the new guidance from the state will lighten the requirement of contact tracing and testing, we do still encourage you to continue to keep children at home if they aren't feeling well. Kids who are sick are really not ready to learn, and still can spread illness to others around them. Please review the document from the Indiana Department of Education, "How Sick is Too Sick?", and consider those guidelines moving forward.
Thank you!
Nurse Kerry & Nurse Mel
