Dear SMCS Parents,

Thank you for all of your support. It was great to see so many of you this week at Parent / Teacher Conferences. The teachers enjoyed getting to visit with you about your children.

It is hard to believe that we have only two more weeks until Grandparents' Day and Thanksgiving Break.

The Christmas Program times and dates are listed in the calendar below and are also on the school website. We are excited to offer two shows for all of the programs except PK3 & PK4 on December 8th.

Do not forget to set your clocks back this weekend to end daylight savings time. Have a safe and relaxing weekend!

Blessings,

Dr. Kathleen Cox

Dear Parents,

In the past couple of weeks, the clinic has received multiple confirmed cases of the flu, a few strep throats, and one case of COVID-19. Please see below a chart that compares the symptoms of the common cold and the flu.

To limit the spread of germs and prevent infections we ask that students stay home during the first few days of illness when symptoms are most severe and infection is most contagious. Your child should be fever free for a minimum of 24 hours, without the use of fever reducing medication, before returning to school.

Encourage your child to cover coughs and sneezes (with a tissue or their elbow), wash hands frequently and keep their hands away from their eyes, nose and mouth.

Please include the office and clinic on all emails reporting your child’s absence from school. Together we will minimize the spread of illnesses and keep everyone

healthy.
