Dear Trailblazer Parents and Guardians,
As we enter the holiday season, the school clinic has experienced an increase in visits from students with common cold symptoms. Since there is no cure for these minor illnesses and the school nurse cannot diagnose or treat them, students with mild symptoms—such as a runny nose, mild cough, nasal congestion, or occasional sneezing—should remain in class or stay home if they are not feeling well enough to participate in learning. Students who do attend school can usually manage these symptoms while practicing simple self-care, including using tissues, drinking water, covering coughs and sneezes properly, and maintaining good hand hygiene.
If your student has had a fever of 100.0°F or higher or has experienced vomiting or diarrhea in the last 24 hours, they should stay home.
It is the responsibility of parents and guardians to assess whether their child is well enough to attend school each day before arriving on campus. If your child requires medical evaluation, we encourage you to contact their healthcare provider directly.
Parents may excuse up to four absences per semester by reporting them through the school website. If your child sees a doctor, dentist, or utilizes telehealth services, please provide a note to the attendance office so the absence can be officially excused.
Thank you for your partnership in keeping our students and staff well and focused on learning. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please reach out.
Warm regards,
Christina Salgado, RN

EOY Vacation Scheduling
Every instructional day counts. Unlike in recent years, student grades and assessments will now be collected through the very last week of school. The final instructional day of the 2025-2026 school year is on May 22, 2026. We know that families often plan trips in advance, but please avoid scheduling family travel before that date, as absences can affect learning and final grades.
You can review the 2025-2026 academic calendar here. Thank you for helping your student finish the year strong!
