PBIS - We continue with the following school-wide celebrations:

T - Twin day! Tues., Feb. 13
Totally Filled Celebration - Movie and Popcorn - Fri., Feb. 16 - 9:45 - 11:45 AM

Sickness - We have had several cases of strep throat, flu, cold, sore throat, etc. at school. We are taking extra precautions to sterilize all handrails, etc. Please don't hesitate to keep your child home if they are are not feeling well. As a parent, you can insist to your medical care provider that they are seen. I've heard that several practices are "putting off appointments." Too many children have died across the country due to flu this year.

If your child is diagnosed with something contagious, please let us know so we can notify parents. The nurse will send out any e-mails to all parents should they need to be notified. At this point, we would be sending out hourly notices. It's that time of year where germs abound. Spring will come eventually! In the meantime, please encourage handwashing!
