Forms will be going home soon for our next school year.
Students in grades 1, 3, 5, and 7 are required to have a current physical on file. Physicals are good for 1 year prior to the first day of school. 
Athletes are an exception to this. They must have a current physical on file to play a sport. 

All students entering grade 6 are required to have the Tdap vaccine as soon as they turn 11. If your child is already 11, they must be vaccinated by the first day of school. If your child is 10, they must receive the vaccine as soon as they turn 11.

All students entering grade 7 are required to have the Meningitis vaccine.

There are no exceptions to this. If you are unable to have a required vaccination by the first day of school, a doctor's note is mandatory.

All students must be fully immunized to attend school. There is a 14 day grace period. We are required by law to exclude any child who is not fully immunized after that grace period.

Our local pediatricians get very busy in spring and summer. I suggest calling as soon as possible for an appointment.


Please remember if your child wishes to play a sport, a current physical is required.Physicals are good for one year only. You must also submit a health history and a yellow emergency sheet. These forms can be found on the website.
No child can practice or play without all the medical paperwork.

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

All absences must be reported to the office in the morning. A note is required upon your child's return.

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.


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 they can not participate in gym, they can not participate in recess or after school activities.

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


 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.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
