Dear Families,
We enjoyed spending time with the many families who attended our Open House yesterday. As we look to expand our enrollment, we will be planning another in the near future. If you didn’t get a chance to attend, please be sure to schedule a classroom visit with the class your child may attend in the coming year. Call Nancy in the office to set a date and time for your visit.
We are beginning to plan our third annual Spring Fair to be held in May. We will need lots of help organizing, soliciting donations and running booths and activities. Our first meeting will be this Thursday at 4:00 in the Saplings classroom; please consider attending or let us know of ideas, connections, offerings, etc. Your help is most appreciated! Childcare will be available during the meeting; please respond to stephanie@dragonflyschool.com if you will need childcare. Thanks for your help, as always.

Dear Families,
We kindly ask you to keep your child at home if he/she exhibits signs of contagion:
Diarrhea
Vomiting
Impetigo (rash caused by strep or staph)
Headache
Sore throat
Persistent cough
Yellow/greenish nasal discharge
Redness, drainage or discharge from eyes
Elevated temperature
Infectious rash (chicken pox, measles)
Scabies, head lice or other infestation
We try to let parents know when something serious is going around. If your child has something contagious, please let us know so that we can inform other parents of what to watch for.
Your child should be able to return to school with your physician’s approval 24 hours after antibiotic treatment has begun or 24 hours after the child’s temperature has returned to normal.
Please remember that individual hygiene practices can make or break it for us all. Thank you for your help.
If a Child Gets Sick at School
When a child becomes ill at school, i.e., temperature of 100 degrees or more, headache or stomachache, etc. parents will be notified and asked to pick up the child as soon as possible. We will make them comfortable and provide supervision until a parent can pick up. If we call you, please come as soon as possible, because your child will want to be home.
