Happy Friday! The countdown to Winter Break is on—just one more week! There's a lot to look forward to next week with Spirit Week, Donuts with Dad (or a special someone), and our Character Assemblies. It's sure to be a busy but fun week that will fly by. Don’t forget to check out the new "Bus Tag" message below for important updates on our new system for bus students. Wishing everyone a fantastic weekend!
Dear Gators,
We are implementing a new system to help get our buses off campus more efficiently. As part of this solution, all students now have bus tags attached to their backpacks. This will help students who may forget their IDs avoid having to return to the front office, which often causes delays.
If you prefer not to have the tag on their bag, you are welcome to cut it off. However, please be aware that if your Gator does not have their ID, they will need to be pick up at the front office, as they won’t be able to board the bus without it.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping make this process smoother.
From the Health Office:
Reminder to all parents :
Please contact Nurse Suzy if your child comes to school with a wrap, brace, sling, or cast on. I need to know if he/she can participate in gym or recess and the PE teacher needs to know as well.
In case you haven't heard Influenza A and strep throat have invaded the school! As a reminder your child must be fever free for a full 24 hours before returning to school and on antibiotics for a full 24 hours after the first dose is given for strep throat. The Influenza is really tiring out the kids please keep your child home until feeling better. PLEASE follow these protocols to help everyone stay well.
Parents: Bronchitis has hit a lot of adults on the campuses. Please take care of yourselves as well.
Tis the season(but early for Influenza) and come on winter break!
In Health,
Nurse Suzy and Ms. Lucy
