Screenings
As a requirement of the state, all Pre K, Kindergarten, 1st and 3rd graders will have vision and hearing checked. Screenings have begun and will continue to take place over the next couple of weeks, if you have any questions or concerns regarding this feel free to give me a call or send me an email.
Cold Weather
We are at the point in the year where the weather is cold and snowy. Please help your child remember to bring the appropriate gear for playing outside including, boots ( and sneakers for inside especially on PE days), jacket, ski pants, hats and mittens/gloves. If you need assistance obtaining any of these items please reach out to the school and we will help attain the necessary items for your child. In talking about winter hats, we encourage you to talk with your kids about the importance of not sharing hats with friends. This is always a time of year when lice makes an appearance and sharing hats is one of the easiest ways for them to spread to others. Periodic checks of your child’s head is the best way to identify any problems early and treat quickly.
Illness
Please review the health manual accessible via our school’s website for the full policy on when to stay home and when it is appropriate to return to school. A few key points are fevers, diarrhea and vomiting. Your child must be free of both without medication for 24 hours before returning to school.
We are also seeing students that are in need of a change of clothes for various reasons, so it would be helpful if they keep a seasonally appropriate change of clothes including socks in their backpacks daily.
