Health Guidance

As we start the year, a reminder to families that the goal for attendance is 8 or fewer absences for the WHOLE YEAR.    As most of these will need to be used for illness, please plan any traveling around scheduled breaks.  We also like to share that once a child is at school, we only call parents to pick up if the student displays vomiting, fever, diarrhea or other acute need .  Otherwise, we offer students a break or time to rest in our health room and then return them to class.  Students who are  mildly ill with a cold or similar should work with their parents to decide if they are well enough to come to school or want to take a medication before school.
