When do I keep my child home sick from school?
Dear Families,
Regular school attendance is essential for your child's academic progress and social development. Prioritizing consistent attendance helps students stay on track with learning and build strong relationships with peers and teachers.
However, we also prioritize the health of our school community. If your child is feeling unwell or has a fever, please keep them home. Following these health guidelines from the NJ Department of Health and the CDC, students should remain at home for at least 24 hours after their fever has ended without medication. This helps prevent the spread of illness and ensures your child can return to school ready to learn.
Thank you for your support in fostering both your child's education and well-being.
Below are some updates from PTO about current and upcoming events!
Spirit Wear
We broke recent spirit wear sales records this year and raised money for fun PTO events for the rest of the year – thank you so much to everyone who ordered!! We are waiting for everything to be printed and hope to have those out to you in your child’s backpacks by the end of the month. Thank you for your patience!
PAGE Program
We hope all the kids are loving their PAGE classes this session! We will offer another session in the Winter, please keep an eye out for more information about that.
Book Fair
We were able to earn Scholastic Dollars to provide our teachers with, so that they can purchase books to help fill their classroom collections. Thank you to all who purchased their children books and who volunteered their time to help us with the fair!
