IMPORTANT INFORMATION:  Third Notice Concerning Cold and Flu Season
We are working diligently to maintain a healthy environment for all children staff and families.  At this time the cleaning crew has been alerted to stay on top of cleaning and disinfecting commonly touched surfaces.  Staff have also been provided materials needed to assist in wiping down commonly touched surfaces daily. Staff is also encouraging frequent hand washing and reminding students to cough in their elbow and wash their hands after using a tissue.  At this time we have had a few confirmed cases of the flu however, our attendance numbers are well above any reason for concern.  Parents can assist us in maintaining a healthy environment by keeping children home who show signs of communicable disease and encouraging frequent proper hand washing.  If your child has a fever, he/she cannot return to school until fever-free for 24 hours without the assistance of fever reducing medicines.
