Greetings Parents,
Hearing screening this month was a huge success. We were able to screen all of the kindergarten, first graders and most of the second grade. There will be another screening day for vision screens. The company had some damage with hurricane Ida but we are working to add this to the schedule now. Please let me know if you have any concerns and want to make sure your child is screened.
Last week 72 students received flu shots at Dixon campus. Even with a few tears and nervous stomachs, the students all supported each other while receiving the shot. I am so proud of all our little guys.
As we reach the cold and flu season, prevention of the spread of germs is most important. Reinforce the importance of handwashing and masks with your child. If you are unsure if your child is sick please keep them home and notify me of symptoms. We can work together on deciding the next step.
Thank you so much for all that you do!
Sincerely,
Kim Carbo RN

We are asking all families to apply for the federally funded free and reduced school meals program. Even if you think you will not qualify, we ask that you apply. This information is critical to our school’s success and support. The percentage of students who qualify for free and reduced price meals is reported to the state Department of Education.
The free and reduced lunch percentages enable public schools to qualify for other grants and funding opportunities to support families.
As you know, meals are currently free for all students, but that will end. When it ends, we want all qualified students to receive free or reduced prices on our high-quality, healthy school meals.
Please take a few minutes to apply today! JUST 4 EASY STEPS!
