Monday- Pajama Day

Tuesday- Ugly Sweater or Holiday Color Day

Wednesday- Wacky Wednesday (wacky hair, socks, clothes, etc.)

Thursday- Sports Day (represent your favorite sports team)

Of course, participation is always optional!

Friday is an early release day with dismissal at 11 AM. No lunch is served Friday. The building will be closed during winter break and will reopen on Tuesday, January 2nd. Please enjoy time with your children and families over break! Wishing you all a happy, healthy new year as well! I will be in touch in the new year!

Happy Holidays!

Dear Families,

We are working to keep our school community as healthy as possible ahead of the winter break. Please keep your child home for any of the following reasons:

1. Fever of 100 degrees or higher. A child with a fever should not return until they have been fever-free without a fever reducer such as Tylenol or Ibuprofen for 24 hours.
2. Infectious illness such as strep throat for which they have been treated with antibiotics for less than 12 hours.
3. Vomiting or diarrhea in the past 24 hours.

Please consult your healthcare provider if you have any questions or concerns about your child’s symptoms or if their symptoms persist. Please reinforce proper hand hygiene and cough etiquette with your child.

Since we are now entering cold and flu season, we are also seeing an increase in COVID-19 cases. Please be aware that there are masks and COVID test kits available in the Health Office for all students, families and staff. Please see our COVID protocols here, and information about the flu here and feel free to reach out to me with any questions.

Our next vaccine clinic will be held at Coolidge Middle School on Friday January 5th from 2-5 pm.

Sharon Grottkau, BSN, RN, NCSN
