A few reminders:

• Make sure your child charges his/her chromebook each night.
• Students should be in uniform each day (Jeans can be worn on Fridays.)
• School starts at 7:50; 8:50 on Wednesdays.
• If your child is absent, they (or you) can email their teacher for their assignments.
• Don't forget to "FALL BACK" on Sunday!

• • Hand washing is the single most important way to prevent the spread of communicable diseases. Use soap, warm water and disposable paper towels and wash your hands frequently. Teach children to wash their hands, too. Hand washing reduces the number of microorganisms on hands that can spread communicable diseases.

  • Illness season is upon us! Along with practicing good hand hygiene, talk to your doctor about vaccines against influenza and covid-19.

  • “Once a week, take a peek” Please check your child’s hair weekly to prevent a lice outbreak in your home. We are seeing an increase in cases of lice.

  • Open the window to let the fresh air in! Well-ventilated rooms help reduce the numbers of airborne germs inside. Airing out the rooms is important, even in the winter. Respiratory diseases easily spread from coughs and sneezes. Opening the window at least once a day lets the germs out and fresh air in.

  • Please do not send students to school with medication. If they need medication during the school day, please contact the health office.
