Principal Smith Weekly Update

When calling the school to report your child’s absence, the information you share in your message is important.

If your child is absent due to illness, please let us know the reason and include a few details about their symptoms. This helps us ensure the health and safety of all students and staff.

Helpful information to include:

• Type of illness (for example: new cough, sore throat, diarrhea, vomiting, etc.)

• When symptoms started and/or stopped

• Whether your child has/had a fever

Please note that absences reported with very limited or unclear information may not be excused.

Our 2025/2026 Read -a-thon Fundraiser officially ends February 13th. This is the last day for reading and pledging.
