HV Update 9-4-26

We had a great first few days of school!! It's been great seeing all the students and having the hallways filled again.

We have a busy week ahead with Picture Day and Back-to-School Night, both on September 10th. PixDay will be taking photos this year and there's some information below for your reference. There is nothing to be done prior to that day. Once the photos are taken, you'll receive an email with links to the proofs and can purchase from there.

We will then see you that evening at 7:00 P.M. for Back-to-School Night.

Just a reminder that school is closed Monday and Tuesday, 9/7-9/8 and will reopen for students on Wednesday, 9/9.

Enjoy the long weekend!

Allison

We will be working with PixDay for school pictures this year. There is nothing you need to do in preparation for the day. Come to school ready to smile! Please see below for more information.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Welcome to the 2026-27 school year!! I hope you all had a wonderful, fun and healthy summer break. I am so excited to welcome our new and returning students.

As your School Nurse, my goal is to keep each child ready to learn by supporting the optimal health and safety of each student. Please review these important guidelines to help me reach this goal...

• In general, keep your child home if he/she does not feel well enough to participate in normal activities, even if fever-free.
• If your child has a fever: Keep your child home until fever-free for 24 hours without the need to take fever-reducing medication (fever is defined 100.4 and above).
• If nausea/vomiting/diarrhea: Keep your child home until at least 24 hours after the last episode of vomiting or diarrhea.
• If your child has strep throat: Keep your child home until at least 12-24 hours have passed since the start of antibiotic treatment and fever-free for 24 hours without the need to take fever-reducing medication and feeling well enough to participate in normal activities.
• If your child has Pink Eye- keep home until symptom-free, which means redness and drainage are gone, OR approved for return earlier with a doctor's note.
• When reporting an absence, please report symptoms and any official diagnoses.
• Remind your child about practicing good hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette
