Please keep students home if they have a fever or have experienced vomiting or diarrhea within the last 24 hours. Your child must be fever-free without medication for a full 24 hours before returning to school. If you are ever in doubt, you are welcome to call our school nurse or stop by with your child in the morning for a quick wellness check.

Have you been honest even when it was tough? I remember a time that I didn't want to be honest but I was anyway. Maybe you can relate? Consider sharing this moment with your little ones. It's a way to build connection, share vulnerably, and admit your humanity.

The guides below help you have great family conversations about cooperation. If we don't talk about this at home, our little ones may not know that you value it and see how cooperation has helped your life. One way to think about Cooperation is "working together to reach shared goals." As a family, talk about how this definition applies to how you work together at home.
