Weekly Update December 6

Dear Families,

Thank you for your enthusiastic response to our annual giving campaign; we brought in $700 this week in answer to our letter of request. We are most pleased to see our support extending outside our own parent body and hope that you all will encourage others to contribute towards our school. In addition we have received $3800 from families since November 1 and pledges for another $2100. We are closing in on our goal (though we haven’t met it yet). THANK YOU!
Please remember to update any changes in your contact information with the school. It is important for us to be able to reach you at all times. Also, here is a review from our handbook regarding health and school. Thank you for helping to ensure that our students, staff and families have a healthy winter season.
Illness

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.
