Weekly News 1/09/202

Please wait until 3:30 pm to arrive at school to pick up your children. Until that time we are still dismissing our Early Childhood students. Thank you!

School-age children are susceptible to various common illnesses.

We encourage you to take a moment to review this Information Letter on Common Illnesses for valuable guidance.

To help prevent these illnesses, please remind your child to practice healthy habits, including:

• Washing hands frequently.

• Staying well-hydrated.

• Avoiding the sharing of personal items, food, or drinks.

• Refraining from touching their eyes.

• Covering their mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter as we work together to keep our students healthy and safe.

Our first Healthy Kids Gym Nights are next week! These are free, drop-off events where our students get to enjoy an hour of physical activities (like they'd play in PE), organized and supervised by our wonderful PTA volunteers.

Our event for grades K-2 is Wednesday, January 14 from 6:00- 6:45pm

Our event for grades 3-5 is Wednesday, January 14 from 7:00- 7:45pm

Please use the registration links below to signup now! We will allow registrations at the door (provided we have enough parent volunteers), but please note this creates a backlog at check-in, so please register in advance if you think there's a chance you'll attend.
