Please remember to submit your Virtus certificate if you have been trained. You can not volunteer here without Virtus training.

Just a few reminders as cold and flu season is upon us. 
Please do not send your children to school if they are sick. Please do not medicate them and then send them to school. The medication will wear off and they will not be feeling well.
If your child has a run of the mill cough, it is certainly ok to be in school. But if the cough keeps he or she up at night and they are not acting "right", please keep them home and see the doctor.
Children can still be ill even if they are negative for Covid.

Children must be symptom free for 24 hours without the use of medicine to return to school.
If your doctor prescribes antibiotics, your child must be on them for 24 hours before he or she returns to school.

If you child tests positive for Covid, please notify us. Your child should remain at home for 5 days and wear a mask for 5 days when he or she returns.
If you should test positive for Covid, your child must wear a mask for 10 days while in school.
If your child is going to be absent, please call the office in the morning and let us know the reason for the absence. Absence notes are required upon their return.
If you child is out for more than 3 days, a doctor's note is required.


Just a reminder, if your child has any type of injury that prevents them from participating in PE class we need a doctor's note to be excused and then to return to activites. This includes any type of orthopedic injury.

If your child can not go outside for recess, we need a note from the doctor.


Please remember if your child is playing a sport, they MUST have a current physical on file. Physicals are good for 1 year only. 
They are also required to hand in a health history as well as an emergency contact sheet.
Without a current physical, they can not practice or play.
 


 Please remember we are a nut free school. Please no peanut butter, nutella or bags of nuts for dessert. Please be careful with granola bars. We ask that you pack a healthy lunch- no candy or soda.

Just a reminder, we no longer do food celebrations in the classroom. You are welcome to send in special treats but no food please.


If your child needs any medication during the school day, please be advised I may not administer any medication without a prescription from the doctor and written permission from you. Medication must be brought in in the original container correctly labeled by an adult. This includes over the counter medication such as Motrin.

  Students in K, 1, 3, 5 and 7 are required to have a current physical on file. Physicals are good for one year.  I suggest making the appointment now as the there seems to be a long wait time for appointments. If your child needs a physical, please send it in right away.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
