Message from the Principal
Lacey Moser
Dear Hart Families,
Winter has definitely arrived! Just a reminder that our students will go outside as long as the wind chill is above 32 degrees, so be sure to send a coat or jacket with your child to school. Don't forget to write your child's name in it so we can return it if it ends up in Lost and Found. Speaking of Lost and Found, we have LOTS of items that need to be claimed. Please stop by and take a look to make sure nothing belongs to your child. All items will be donated at the end of December.
We so enjoyed seeing everyone at the Fine Arts Festival last weekend. A big shout out to our very own Valerie Czechowski and Sharon Courtenay for all of their hard work and to our students for their amazing art work and awesome singing.
Have a great weekend!
With a Full HeART,
Lacey Moser

Flu Season Reminders/Illness:
We are now heading into flu season. The most common symptoms of flu seem to be stomach ache, cough, fever/body aches, headache, and tired-ness.
Currently we are seeing fifth's disease (some kids are not having fever or obvious viral symptoms, however, stomach ache/headache/tiredness seem to be predominate initial symptoms), a stomach virus (12-24 hour virus), and some strep throat.
Please refer to the following links in regards to Parvovirus B19 and Fifth's Disease.
Fifth Disease
Fifth disease is a mild rash illness caused by parvovirus B19. It is more common in children than adults. A person usually gets sick with fifth disease within four to 14 days after getting infected with parvovirus B19. This disease, also called erythema infectiosum, got its name because it was fifth in a list of historical classifications of common skin rash illnesses in children.
Signs & Symptoms
The symptoms of fifth disease are usually mild and may include
- fever
- runny nose
- headache
- rash
You can get a rash on your face and body
You may get a red rash on your face called
"slapped cheek" rash
. This rash is the most recognized feature of fifth disease. It is more common in children than adults.
Some people may get a second rash a few days later on their chest, back, buttocks, or arms and legs. The rash may be itchy, especially on the soles of the feet. It can vary in intensity and usually goes away in seven to 10 days, but it can come and go for several weeks. As it starts to go away, it may look lacy.
Frequent handwashing is vital to keeping illness at bay. Now is a good time to review proper handwashing practices with young children. Using soap and rubbing vigorously under running water for about 30 seconds to one minute is important to get rid of the germs that cause the flu and other viruses. Asking young children to "sing the ABCs" at a steady rate while washing will help them reach the 30 second mark.
Please remember, if your little ones have had diarrhea, fever greater than 100 (without medications), or vomiting they must be out of school for a full 24 hours so that we can help keep protect others.
