Pieter B information regarding Outdoor recess
The winter weather has arrived quickly! Just a few reminders:
1. Students go outside for recess when the real feel temperature is 15 degrees and above.
2. We use accu-weather to determine the real feel temperature.
3. If the temperature is close to 15 degrees, please send your students to student with their coat, hat and gloves ( just in case the students are able to go outside)
4. All students should wear a jacket during the winter season (especially on chilly days).
Stay warm,
LOST AND FOUND ITEMS
We have a lost and found table in the front lobby waiting area.
There are numerous water bottles, lunch boxes, clothing etc...
Please check for any lost items, as we will be cleaning it out later this month.
Health-Related Updates
In an effort to control the spread of illness we ask for your cooperation with the following guidelines.
Do not send your child to school….
If he/she has a temperature of 100 or higher. Please do not send your child to school until he/she is fever-free (under 100) for 24 hours without Tylenol or Ibuprofen.
If he/she has been vomiting or had diarrhea during the night or early morning hours. They should stay home until they have been free of the episodes for 24 hours.
If your child is coughing excessively and/or has a very runny nose. A constant cough is very uncomfortable for your child and it is also disruptive to the class.
If they have a severe rash that has not been seen by a physician. If your child has an open wound, please cover it with a bandage; if it does not appear to be healing, please consult your physician.
If your physician suspects strep throat or other infections do not send your child to school until the results are known. If the result is positive he/she should have at least 24 hours of antibiotics before returning to school.
If you suspect your child has pink eye (conjunctivitis), please take them to your physician. If it is a confirmed case, keep them home until they have been treated for 24 hours.
If your child has Head Lice- unless they have been treated according to the nurse or doctor’s instruction and no longer have live lice or nits (eggs).
🌨️ Weather-Related Updates 🌨️
How to find out if we have a weather-related delay/closing:
As winter weather approaches, we would like to remind families about the protocols that have been established for school closings, delays, and early dismissals, as well as the cancellation of extra-curricular activities.
In the event that weather impacts the school day, we use several information vehicles to communicate with parents and community members. All emergency closure information can be found on our website here.
Be Smoke/Tobacco free at Pieter B.
Please remember Pieter B. is a smoke/tobacco free environment
