Role Models

Young children learn primarily through imitation, which is why it is so important to have worthy role models surrounding them. This picture that Ms. Gina snapped this week shows a few of our kindergarteners mesmerized by the sixth graders hard at work during their Ag Arts class. It’s amazing to think that in a handful of years, these kindergarteners will be in sixth grade themselves! We are so fortunate to have a community that grows together.

Valentine’s Day at Mountain Song

Valentine’s Day at Mountain Song is a time when we share our love and kindness with each other. This week, many of our students created handmade valentines to share, and they relished the joy of giving. Our own Katie Tomkiewicz and her children also shared ways to make valentines with the larger community on FOX21. Click below for the video.

How Sick Is Too Sick?

We unfortunately continue to see the circulation of various illnesses throughout many classrooms, despite our best disinfecting / sanitizing efforts. We encourage our families to keep students home who are experiencing signs of illness until symptoms begin to improve, per the CDPHE recommendations.

There are four main reasons to keep children at home:

The child is at risk of infecting others with a contagious illness.
The child does not feel well enough to take part in usual activities. For example, a child is overly tired, fussy, or will not stop crying.
A child needs more care than teachers and staff can give while still caring for the other children.
The child has symptoms or a confirmed diagnosis of an illness that requires staying home, including fever or vomiting in the past 24 hours.

For more information, see the How Sick is Too Sick document linked here. Please also refer to the list below of symptoms for circulating respiratory illnesses.
