Reminder: Return Chromebooks Daily

We love that students are working on their STMath and Lexia at home :). Please double check their bags in the morning to ensure that they are returning their Chromebook and chargers to school the next day. We do have some loaners, but we have seen an increase in loaner usage over the past few weeks. Thank you for your support!

Nurse Office Note

The mobile dentist will be here on Tuesday 11/12 and will see students who have returned their signed permission form.

Vision and Hearing screenings will continue with 3rd grade on Thursday 11/14 and 2nd grade the following week.  If your student wears glasses, please make sure the student brings them to school.

If you do not want your child screened, please send in a written note to the nurse stating so. 

Cold and Flu season is upon us, even though the weather has been summer like.  If your student tends to have asthma flares with the onset of colder weather, please remember that all medications must have a doctor’s order and parental permission. Please do not just send in an inhaler with your student.  Contact me and I will send home the needed forms.  If you want your child to have cough drops in school, please send in a small supply with a note saying you give permission for them to be given. They will be kept in the nurse’s office.

Now is a great time to get Flu and/or Covid shots for the family.
