A Message from Lisa A.

As you may have guessed, we are in the midst of cold and flu season.  Many students have been sick, absent or fighting off illness. In order to keep illness from spreading to other members of our community (parents, teachers and siblings), please keep your ill child at home until they are feeling well enough to participate in all their school activities.  Most parents have utilized our Illness Policy as their guide for keeping children home.  Recently, we have been seeing colds (runny nose, cough, body aches) that have been very contagious. These symptoms accompanied by lethargy are good reasons to keep your child at home until they have enough energy and stamina to make it through the school day. 

Teachers and students are reviewing good hand washing practices here at school.  Please take this opportunity to connect school to home and do the same review with your family.

The good news is, we have no more confirmed cases of pertussis on campus.  Let's keep our track record moving in a positive direction by being a bit more vigilant and keeping ill children at home.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email or call me at school.

Thanks for your help with this matter!
