also...


A reminder that children
DO NOT have access to a microwave at lunch time. Please consider alternatives (thermos?).


Remember utensils and something to keep the leftovers, yogurt containers, trash, etc. from the rest of the still edible snacks and lunch (and from blowing around campus). We are all responsible for keeping the campus clean.


Will be hosting a vaccination clinic
for children as soon as available!


In the meantime, it is recommended to purchase Covid home tests whenever you find them.
They are hard to get and can be useful in the coming months.

Remember to send your child to school with multiple masks.
Pre-screening questions to consider
EVERY
school morning...

We are all tired of the screening questions but must still take them seriously. Here is an updated version we ask everyone to review , post, and be honest in using for self screening before coming to school. The list IS extensive. Be rigorous.
A rote response will not keep our children safe.


The basics are still in place...
Your child must be NON- SYMPTOMATIC for a full 24 hours after any fever.
If it's “ just a sniffle” it might be allergies - BUT if symptoms do not respond to allergy medication, we still require a minimum of full 3 days out, with steady improvement seen, and NO discharge or cough as well as a doctor's note or a negative test.
We are seeing a lot of " sniffles" .... please be vigilant.

We are one of the few schools with no cases, let's keep working together!
