Note from the Nurse
We're in the thick of winter flu and respiratory illness season. Influenza A has been especially prevalent within our community these past few weeks. Please help us keep our students, staff and teachers as healthy as possible by keeping your child home if you suspect they might be getting sick. If your child is vomiting or has a fever, school district policy requires they remain home until
24-hours fever/vomiting free (without help from medication). Thank you for helping us all take care of each other's health and wellbeing!
*****WEATHER REMINDER*****
Students go out to recess every day rain, shine, or snow. Please make sure that your child is properly dressed for the weather. Also, please mark your child's gear with their name!
