Notes from the Nurse:

If your child isn’t feeling well before school, please take a moment to decide at home whether they’re ready for the day. The clinic is always here for students who start to feel sick during school, but it works best when children arrive feeling well.

It’s cold and flu season, which means viruses are on the rise!🤒 I wanted to take the time to send home a few reminders for school attendance and what to be looking out for.

• If your child has diarrhea or vomiting within the past 24 hours, keep them home.
• If your child has a continuous or disruptive cough, keep them home.
• Temperature/fever above 100 F by mouth, keep them home. Students need to be fever free without the use of medication (Tylenol, Advil, Ibuprofen, Acetaminophen) for 24 hours before returning to school.

• Signs of conjunctivitis (Pink Eye) such as red, crusty or swollen eyes, keep them home.

Good health habits like covering your cough and washing your hands often can help stop the spread of germs and prevent respiratory illnesses from spreading in the classroom. If your child continues to be sick, please reach out to your pediatrician for further guidance. Our goal is to keep everyone as healthy as possible, we thank you for your cooperation at home as well.

Redwoods K-Kids have been kind enough to sort and organize our lost and found table. If your student is missing a hat , glove, sweatshirt, water bottle or any other item now would be a great time to remind them to check the lost and found table outside of the cafeteria.

Redwood will hold its 2nd Marco's Pizza, Pizza Box Night on Wednesday, March 25th. This night, like all other pizza nights, Redwood will receive proceeds for every item ordered under Redwood’s name. Students in preschool, Kindergarten and 1st grade will also have the opportunity to have ordered items served in the box they personally designed. Please consider supporting this school wide fundraising effort.

All students are invited to participate in the program. The menu is a set repeating menu, there is only one option a day. We ask you remind students if they participate in this program the money does come from their normal lunch account.

We’re gearing up for some hands-on creative projects and would love your help! If you have any extra craft supplies at home—such as tape, yarn, cardboard tubes, paper plates, egg cartons, or other recyclable materials—we’d be grateful for your donations. Thank you for supporting our little artists!

As a reminder if you are changing the way in which your student will be going home for the day that information should be communicated in writing and sent with the student to the teacher. ( If sending an email, it must be sent prior to 12 Noon, and you must verify with a reply from the teacher the information has been received)

We have begun receiving request for student absence or vacation request. Please be sure to submit the following form for all pre-planned student absences.

As more students bring cell phones and watches with wi-fi and data capabilities, it is

important to remember and inform your children about the policy of using them while at

school. During school hours, students must keep the phone in the locker/cubby or

backpack and have it turned off. If a parent needs to contact their child or a child needs

to contact a parent, that communication must go through the school and in most cases

the main office. Watches are another area where communication may occur if wi-fi or

data are enabled. Students may wear watches and use the watches for time telling

purposes or tracking their steps and other non-communication purposes. However, if

students and parents are using the watch to call and text each other, those devices will

be viewed more for communication and will be asked to be put away each day like a cell

phone. Thank you for your attention to this matter and following these rules.

Calling all recyclers! The Redwood art room is always in need of the following: plastic grocery bags, newspaper, and egg cartons (plastic or styrofoam only). If you have any of these items, please drop them off in the art room. Thank you!
