Happy Holidays

As we start our winter break I would like to thank each and every one of our families for a wonderful 2016 and extend my warmest wishes for the happiest of holidays and a wonderful start to 2017. I look forward to spending 2017 with you and your children.

This has been an early season for student sicknesses. Nurse Melley would like to remind families about the Medication Administration Protocol which can be found under "health services" on the school's home page of the website.

Medications MUST be hand delivered by a parent/guardian and cannot be sent in with a child. 

Please see below for important information regarding when to keep your child/ren home from school when he/she is sick.

Please keep your child home from school if he or she has:

• Temperature 100 degrees or higher in the past 24 hours
• Vomiting or diarrhea in the past 24 hours
• Fever of unknown origin that causes chills, sweating, or muscle aches
• Strep infections of any kind, ringworm, conjunctivitis, or impetigo. These are all contagious infections and must be treated with medication for at least 24 hours before returning to school.
• Rash of unknown origin- this may indicate many different things and should be checked out by your primary care physician
• Pain such as earaches, toothaches and headaches should be taken seriously and need evaluation.

Reminder: There is NO SCHOOL Friday December 23. School will resume after winter break on January 3 2017.
