November 2019 NEWS

From the Principal’s office

We hope your children enjoyed their fall lessons, pumpkin themed activities and classroom celebrations last month. Seeing our students enjoy their Halloween costumes and fall attire is one of the highlights of the year for us. Thank you for allowing us to be part of these special occasions! This month we are focusing on gratitude and connecting with our community. As part of this focus we are busily preparing for our Holiday Giving campaign. This year we are collecting jackets, mittens, scarves etc for our giving tree! Feel free to bring in items to donate throughout December.

Sincerely,

Amanda Terrazas

 

 

Illness Policy Reminder  

Our parents are vital partners in helping us to maintain a safe and healthy environment for the students in our school. The most important thing you can do to assist us in creating a healthy environment is to keep your child home if they are ill. This reduces the spread of illness and allows your child to fully recuperate. Children may not attend school until they have been symptom free for 24 hours if they display any of the following:

 

  • Fever of 100 degrees of more—must be fever free for 24 hours with no fever-reducing medicine before returning to school
  • Vomiting, diarrhea or stomach upset
  • Heavy nasal discharge requiring wiping every 3-5 minutes
  • Persistent, non-productive or barking cough
  • Sore throat
  • Skin rash, including diaper rash
  • Head lice
  • Symptoms of a communicable disease
  • Fussy, cranky behavior unlike child’s normal demeanor that may indicate illness

 

For more information please see our Parent Handbook or reach out to a member of our administrative team.

 

Pajama Jam for PJ’s! 

Please allow your child to come to school in pajamas on November 18th to help us kick off our Holiday Giving initiative to collect pajamas for children in need this holiday season. Students will be learning about serving our community, jamming to and making music, reading stories about giving and reflecting on what it means to help others. Stay tuned for more information!
