Greetings!
 
Being back at school re-energizes the goal to keep your child healthy in a large community environment. To minimize the number of students impacted by illnesses, here are some things your child can do to keep healthy:

  • Wash hands - this is the number one thing your child can do to prevent from getting sick. Also, make sure your child keeps their hands moisturized as dry skin can crack and create potential openings for germs.

  • Use a tissue for coughs or sneezes, or the crook of their elbow, which is better than using their hands.

  • If your child is sick, particularly if he or she is running a fever, it would be best to let him or her recover at home. We know students don't want to miss class, but it would be best if your child was free of a fever for 24 hours before returning to school. Our teachers are always willing to work with students who have been out of school because of illness.

If your child has seen a medical provider, please encourage the medical provider to provide a detailed note, with instructions on any limitations or special needs your student may have while recovering and attending school. The more we know, the better we can accommodate your student's needs.

Wishing you a happy and healthy new year!

MINISTRY & SERVICE
From the Chaplain's Office
Next Wednesday, Jan. 30, we will have our next All School Mass to celebrate Catholic Schools Week. We will also celebrate the Beatification of Mother Adele - Foundress of the Marianist Sisters. In the aftermath of the French Revolution, Adele formed an association of young women. Assisted by Blessed Chaminade, she formed the Daughters of Mary Immaculate (known as the Marianist Sisters). As "Blessed" she is one step away of being canonized as a Saint. Her Beatification took place this past June in Agen, France. Please join us at Emmanuel at 9:45 a.m. for Mass.
