Influenza (the flu) is an infection of the nose, throat, and lungs caused by influenza viruses that are constantly changing. Flu causes illness, hospital stays, and deaths in the United States each year. Flu can be very dangerous for children. Each year about 20,000 children younger than five years old are hospitalized from flu complications, like pneumonia. Please see below for more information on the flu.
Please note that one or more students at our school have been diagnosed with strep throat. Please take the following precautions:
- Watch your child for signs of sore throat and other signs of strep (headache, fever, stomach ache, rash, and swollen and tender neck glands).
- If your child develops a sore throat and any of these signs, please see your healthcare provider. Tell him or her that another child in the school has strep, and ask to have a strep test.
- Tell us if your child has been diagnosed with strep infection.
Please see our strep throat letter for more information.
There are some families that have not returned the First Day forms. Please fill out the First Day forms online or return them to the office as soon as possible. Thank you for your cooperation.
We recently began a new procedure for picking up students in pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. Parents are to remain outside the building, and the classroom teachers will bring the students outside for pick up. Parents or other qualified adults need to show the teacher their ID cards, provided by the school, in order to pick up their student. We would appreciate your patience as we refine this procedure, and we will be working on making it as safe and efficient as possible. These changes were necessary to assure that your children are as safe as possible as during the dismissal time and that the building remains secure for students and staff who remain in the building after dismissal.
