Reminder About Labeling Your Child's Items:
|
Remember to label all lunch boxes, backpacks, jackets, sweaters, etc. brought to school! Every year, there are practically new jackets, sweaters, lunchboxes, and backpacks that are never claimed that could have been returned to their owner had they been labeled! Help your child remember daily to take home whatever he/she might have brought to school.

Operation No More Sickness!
|
It has been a difficult flu and cold season this year.
Please remember to NOT bring your child to school if they have had a fever, vomiting, or have thrown up within 24 hours of the school day.
If any of these symptoms appear during the school day we will call you to pick up your child and they will not be able to return the following day. In addition, we will not administer medicine for fever-prevention, as children with a fever need to be at home. Please see your parent handbook for our illness policy.
