FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Mr. Sanfilippo's Announcements
Report Cards
Report cards were sent home with students on Friday. Please keep the report card, but
sign the white envelope and return it to school this week. If you have questions about the report card, please email your child's teacher.
Note for Link Enrichment Activities
If your child is attending an after-school Link Enrichment Activity at Bassett (such as Eager Engineers, KidzArt, Link Ink, Progress with Chess, Taekwondo, Ukulele), please send in a note to your child's teacher each week indicating that your child will go to
Link at dismissal time
.
Once your child is at Link, instructors will make sure students get to the right classroom at the right time for their enrichment activity.
Young Authors' Update
The Young Authors' packet has not been sent home yet but it is coming very soon! If your child has an interest in writing and illustrating an original book, and you are able to provide the necessary support, please encourage participation in this program.
Returning to School After an Illness
I want to make sure you are aware of Westlake City School District's policies for when a child should return to school after an illness:
|
FEVER: A child should be fever free for 24 hours before returning to school. Their temperature needs to be normal without having medication administered to lower it.
STREP THROAT: A child should be kept home for 24 hours from the time treatment begins. A child not visibly ill, but being tested, should remain home until the results of the culture confirm or dismiss the presence of strep.
VOMITING: A child must go 24 hours without vomiting before returning to school.
|
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping Bassett students and families healthy!
Jim Sanfilippo
