Students should bring water bottles to school everyday.  Please be sure that the water bottles  seal tightly to avoid spills in the classroom.  Students may only have water in the classroom, other drinks like juice or gatorade will need to remain in their locker until lunch.  Thank you for your help with this!

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Rhode Island is seeing the circulation of several respiratory viruses, including RSV, flu, and COVID-19.



Please keep your child at home from school with these symptoms: 

● Fever 

● Vomiting

● Diarrhea 

● Chills 

● General malaise or feelings of fatigue, discomfort, weakness or

muscle aches 

● Nasal congestion with frequent blowing of nose 

To help prevent respiratory viruses, please remind students:

• Cough or sneeze into your elbow.
• Wash hands often with soap and water.
• Stay home if you are sick.
• Stay up to date on vaccinations.

Keeping a sick child at home will minimize the spread of infections and viruses in the classroom. Thank you for helping make the rest of this year at school as healthy as possible!

Thank you!
