Let's Stay Healthy!

According to the Michigan Department of Community Health, Divisions of Communicable Disease & Immunization, they have outlined guidelines on when to keep a child home from school.

Fever: If a child has a temperature of 100◦F taken by mouth or 99◦F taken under the arm or higher, the child should not return until 24 hours of no fever, without the use of fever-reducing medications.

Diarrhea: The child should have no loose stools for 24 hours prior to returning to school. 

Vomiting: A child that is vomiting… The child should have no vomiting episodes for 24 hours prior to returning to school. We are seeing students come back to school the next day, only to be sent home again because are not feeling well enough to attend class and last a full day.
Winter Weather
Please remember to send coats, snow pants, boots, hats and gloves in with your student as we move into the winter season. If students do not have snow pants and boots they will have to stay on the concrete section of the playground during recess. 

Please continue to have your student bring a pair of indoor shoes. If you are in need of any winter items, please contact the Cooper Office.  
The Cooper office is looking for donations of girls/boys pants. Sizes: 5T, 4, 5/6, 7/8; athletic, sweatpants or leggings are preferred over jeans.
