Parents, we need your help keeping our student body healthy as we finish out these winter months. We understand that childcare can be a challenge, however, sending your child to school while sick has a large impact on our school. You will receive a letter from our school nurse detailing our school illness policy. Mainly, please keep your child at home if they are sick. Illness is defined by a fever of 100 degrees or higher, vomiting, diarrhea, frequent coughing, consistent pain in their ear/stomach/etc., and/or a new and spreading rash. Thank you for helping us keep our students well!
