Thank You LEEL Families!

We would like to express our sincere gratitude for the new and gently used Chapter Books that have been donated so far!

Our vending machine is such an exciting experience for students who have earned Soaring

Student of the Week! Students have been astonished by the idea that they actually get to not

only choose the book they want, but they also get to keep it! It’s so much fun to see their

reactions and know that they are being rewarded for being an outstanding student!

We would like to encourage more donations of chapter books for grades 3rd-5th as these are in high demand. Feel free to send them to school with your child or drop them off in the office.

Thank you so much for your support in keeping our students rewarded and encouraging them to

gain a love of reading!

When is being sick too sick to come to school?

A child's ability to learn, perform and behave can depend on how they feel physically and illness plays a significant role in school absences. Often parents don’t understand when their child is too sick for school and when they can safely send them to school. If a student has a contagious illness that could cause illness in other children, they should stay home.

Students should remain at school if:

• They have a runny nose and a slight cough, but no other symptoms

• They have been fever free for 24 hours without taking any fever reducing medicine.

• Haven’t thrown up or had any diarrhea for 24 hours.

Students should remain home if:

• The child doesn’t feel well enough to take part in normal activities.

• The child needs more care than teachers and staff can give, and still care for the other children.

  
  

The Health Services department follows guidelines developed by the Colorado Children’s Hospital when making a determination if a student is too sick to be at school. We also work closely with our local public health departments in Weld and Boulder Counties for communicable disease control guidance.
