Wellness
We seem to be doing better than most schools after our deep cleaning, but we always look forward to the end of sniffle season.
One significant way illnesses are shared is through physical contact, so we ask you to remind your children to wash their hands often with soap and water. They should sing Happy Birthday two times, in their minds while washing to make sure any sneaky viruses or bacteria are washed cleanly away. We are continuously having your children wash their hands with soap and water throughout the school day.
Please remember – if your child is showing symptoms of illness, please keep them home to recover. We will work with you to assure any missed school work can be made up. Let’s have a healthy remainder of the year.
