Seasonal Cold, Flu, COVID-19, Inclement Weather Reminders:
We are in the midst of the cold and flu season. We have experienced an increase in student absences due to illness. We want to impress upon parents and guardians to please remember to keep your child at home if they have a fever or show other signs of illness. Please contact the main office at your child’s school to report any illness and absences.
The primary goal during these tough times is to keep our schools open while we all do our very best to manage issues related to Covid-19! It's important to keep Covid-19 and other illnesses in mind and be vigilant with handwashing, and other health practices that keep illness at bay.
Please do not hesitate to contact the school nurse should you have any questions.
Please also remember to have a plan “B” ready in case a building needs to temporarily close for a short period of time. It’s important to be prepared, things are changing quickly and the district may need to make decisions by the hour and will not be able to provide significant notice to families.
Cooler Weather
As the weather is turning cooler, please remember to send your child dressed to go outside at recess. This means jackets, coats, hats, and gloves. In general, we go outside for recess unless the temperature/wind chill drops below 25 degrees. Please label coats & hats with your student’s name. If you need assistance with warmer items, please contact Mrs. Pike, Nurse Brittany, Ms. Erfman, or Mr. Merz. Thank you.
