A NOTE FROM THE NURSE...
Soldotna Elementary has seen an increase in GI/stomach bug within our student body since Spring Break. Friendly reminder: if your student has had a fever or vomited at home, KPBSD policy requires they remain home for 24 hours from the point of fever or vomiting. Thank you for helping keep our classrooms as germ-free as possible!
Attention Parents...
You can help raise money for our school. If you are a Fred Meyer Customer, you can link your Rewards Card to our school so that whenever you use your card when shopping at Freddy’s, our school will receive a quarterly donation. Check it out at: www.fredmeyer.com/topic/community-rewards-4 The more people that sign up the more the school receives for our students.
